Mark Sykes and Simon Gawthorpe, founding directors of Cyprus Luxury Furniture Packs are always looking for ways to make furnishing properties in Cyprus easier for their customers. Their latest offering is low rate finance (subject to status) on all furniture and related packages. This includes everything you’ll need to make your Cyprus property ready to live in or rent out such as; Furniture, electricals, cutlery, crockery, linen, décor and outdoor furniture.

Simon commented “Buying furniture for an apartment or villa in Cyprus can be pricey and time consuming so anything that makes the cost easier to bear has to be good, particularly in the current financial climate”.

The business was started as a result of the directors being property investors. “We’d been buying property in Cyprus for the last 9 years and over that time we had tried each way doable to get our properties furnished how we’d like them”. This meant sourcing stylish furniture, durable enough to withstand year round use from people renting their properties but at a reasonable price.

Mark went on to explain “The obvious choice was to deal with the local furniture suppliers, however most of their stock is aimed at the domestic market and is quite old fashioned pine furniture, which doesn’t really look right in a modern apartment or villa. In particular it doesn’t really hold much appeal for people looking to rent your property out. Also it’s very expensive, I guess due to the demand of competition on the island. Next up we decided to bring our own furniture from the UK, this was pricey on a small scale and the paper work and customs procedures we’re quite daunting, in all this did give us the furniture we wanted, but it was such hard work and took most of my holiday allocation for that year”.

“After furnishing our own properties we started to get enquiries from developers and other investors asking where we got our furniture from. They were in the same position, they didn’t want to spend a lot of money on the wrong furniture, but they didn’t fancy the hassle of doing the job themselves either. We did some rough calculations and realised if we could get enough interest to fill a 40ft container the shipping cost and effort might be viable”

“We’ve been fortunate enough to secure the same suppliers as used by many of the mid to top end furniture retailers in the UK. Except because we purchase in bulk and sell to our customers at somewhere between trade and retail we can also absorb the shipping and installation costs making us exceptional value for money. With the addition of finance we are hoping to be healthy to help UK investors spread the cost of furnishing their properties while still benefiting from our low prices and fully inclusive service. ”
