Cost of living

Hi All


What do you think you need monthly to live comfortably on in the east side of Cyprus. (Paralimni area) Having no mortgage so just bills and living costs on a 3 bed villa with communal pool not a private pool. Family of 3.

That’s a very subjective question as everyone has different needs, not sure of your circumstances visa wise as there are income requirements fixed to those.

food we find pretty similar to the uk, somethings are cheaper while’s others are significantly higher. Obviously imported food is always more expensive. Shop around and find a supermarket that suits your needs. We mainly use Stelios in Livadia.

our water bills are significantly less and we’re finding electric bills less, but that’s more to do with lifestyle/usage than actual cost.

2nd hand car prices are high and running costs are comparable.

Eating out is good value, but again that also depends on where you eat.

municipality taxes are significantly less than the UK council tax system.

where are you moving from will also depend how expensive you think things are.

There is a lot of variables to consider in order  to give a definitive answer

i.e

Lifestyle

Social activities

Transport requirements

Whether the property has full solar

Schooling or care

Working or not

Healthcare
