A 110 m² house for €95,000 works out at €864 per m². That price alone makes this listing worth a look.
The house sits in Agioi Vavatsinias, a hill village in the Larnaca district. Our model shows an 8.3% gross yield and a 14.2% IRR. The question: how much of that holds up in a small village?
Property Overview
For SaleTorquity rates the appeal at 4.2 out of 10 and the condition as fair. The village setting pulls the score down. The numbers look better.
After the mortgage, the house brings in about €140 a month. Cash-on-cash reaches 4.87%, and DSCR sits at 1.40x. You need only around €35,000 of your own money to get in.
Rent Estimates
Based on 8 comparablesOur model puts rent at €654 a month. Every comparable lets for €900 or more, so the estimate looks cautious.
The comparables sits 4 to 7 km away, and most have three bedrooms. A village has fewer tenants than a town. Even at the low end of €508, the gross yield still reaches 6.4%.
Financial Projection
10-year holdOver 10 years, the model shows €82,501 in profit and a 3x return on your money. The 14.57% IRR here includes the refurbishment, which explains why it differs from the 14.23% in the overview.
Much of that profit depends on price growth. A village attracts less buyers than Larnaca town, so selling can take time. Run a flat-price scenario in Torquity before you make an offer.
Comparable Properties
8 foundThe model found eight rentals, all at least 3.8 km away. The average match sits at 33%. The village has no rental data of its own.
Five listings share one address with different sizes, so treat the distances with care. A 45 m² flat at €1,500 looks like an outlier, and I would ignore it.
Renovation Analysis
1 room scoredThe model gives this house 8 out of 10 for upside. A €6,100 refurbishment could lift rent by 19%, to about €778 a month. That figure stays inside the local range, so it looks realistic.
Before
After
Balcony — Repaint exterior masonry with high-grade white weather-resistant paint (€850)
Our renovation model scores this property 8/10 for upside, projecting a 19% rent uplift after refurbishment.
One gap: the model priced only the balcony paintwork at €850. Ask the agent for interior photos to see where the other €5,250 goes.
Verdict
As a cash-flow buy, yes, with checks. The yield is high and the entry cost is low. Ask local agents how fast similar houses let. Confirm the house has its own title deed.
As a growth bet, stay careful. Resale in a small village moves slowly.
