A few years ago, the first questions at a rental viewing were about the rent, the parking and how far the flat was from work. Today, more and more tenants ask something else: “How much was the electricity bill last August?”It’s a fair question. In a Cypriot summer, air conditioning runs for hours every day, and a poorly insulated apartment can turn a reasonable rent into an expensive home. Tenants have noticed. For landlords, energy efficiency is no longer a nice extra. It increasingly affects how quickly a property lets, who rents it and how long they stay.Why tenants care more than beforeThe rent is only part of the cost. Tenants now think in terms of total monthly outgoings. Two flats at the same rent can cost very different amounts to live in once electricity is added.More people work from home. Someone at home all day needs the space cool in summer and warm in winter, not just in the evenings. That makes running costs far more visible.Comfort matters. A west-facing bedroom that becomes unbearable by late afternoon, or single-glazed windows that let in noise and heat, affect daily life as much as the budget.Expectations have risen. Tenants who have lived in newer buildings with good insulation and efficient air conditioning don’t want to go back.What tenants noticeMost tenants won’t read a technical report, but they pay attention to the things they can see and feel:The energy performance certificate. It shows the property’s energy class. In Cyprus, a certificate is generally required when a property is let, so tenants increasingly ask to see it.Windows. Double glazing and good seals keep heat and noise out.Air-conditioning units. Newer inverter units cost less to run than old ones and are quieter.Water heating. A working solar water heater keeps hot water costs low for much of the year.Shading. External shutters, awnings and covered verandas make a real difference in summer.Lighting. LED lighting throughout is a small detail that tenants appreciate.What it means for landlordsAn energy-efficient property tends to:Let faster, because it stands out among similar listings.Attract better tenants, often professionals and families who plan to stay longer.Reduce turnover, since tenants are less likely to leave over high bills or discomfort.Hold its value, as buyers increasingly look at energy performance too.A less efficient property can still let, but it may take longer, and the landlord may find themselves negotiating on rent to make up for higher running costs.Upgrades worth consideringYou don’t have to rebuild a property to improve it. Some changes cost relatively little and make a noticeable difference:Replace old air-conditioning units with efficient inverter models.Service the solar water heater, or install one if there isn’t one.Switch to LED lighting.Add or repair external shutters and seals around doors and windows.Larger investments bring bigger gains:Roof insulation, which matters most on top-floor apartments and houses.Double-glazed windows.Wall insulation.Solar panels, where the building allows them.Government grant schemes for energy upgrades have been available at different times. Check what is open now before you plan any works.Telling tenants about itIf you’ve invested in energy efficiency, make sure it shows. Mention the energy class, new air conditioning, double glazing or solar panels in the listing description. If you can, share approximate monthly bills. Tenants value clear information, and it helps your property stand out from similar ones nearby.A small change in thinkingEnergy efficiency used to be something tenants accepted or put up with. Today it’s part of how they choose. Landlords who see it as part of the property’s value, not just a cost, are usually the ones who let more easily and keep good tenants longer.Thinking about letting your property, or upgrading it first?

Ask long-time Nicosia residents about Dasoupolis and you’ll often hear the same words: quiet, central, settled. The name means “forest town”, and the greenery is part of the neighbourhood’s character, with tree-lined streets and gardens that have had decades to grow. It’s the kind of area where families have lived for two or three generations, yet the city centre is only a short drive away.For buyers and tenants who want to be close to everything without living in the middle of it, Dasoupolis is worth a closer look.Where it is and what it’s likeDasoupolis is part of the Municipality of Strovolos, one of the largest residential areas of Nicosia. Its position gives residents easy access to central Nicosia, to the main roads out of the city and to the shops, schools and services that Strovolos offers.Most of the neighbourhood is residential. Detached and semi-detached family houses, many built in the 1970s and 1980s, sit alongside low-rise apartment buildings and a growing number of newer developments. Traffic is generally lighter than on the busy commercial avenues nearby, which is one of the reasons families like it.Who it suitsFamilies looking for a settled area with space, gardens and schools within reach.Professionals who work in central Nicosia and want a short commute.Downsizers who want to stay in a familiar, central part of the city.Investors interested in steady long-term rental demand rather than short-term letting.The property on offerBuyers in Dasoupolis usually find three main types of property.Older family houses. Many come on generous plots and are well built, but may need updating: new electrics and plumbing, insulation, a modern kitchen and bathrooms. With these homes, the plot often matters as much as the house. If the house uses only part of the building density allowed on the plot, the unused area may add value, whether for an extension or future redevelopment.Apartments in established buildings. These tend to offer more space for the money than new builds. Check the condition of the building, the lift, parking and the common expenses before committing.New developments. Some older houses have made way for modern apartment blocks, often through antiparochi agreements between landowners and developers. New apartments bring better energy performance and covered parking, at a higher price per square metre.What the numbers say about StrovolosDasoupolis is part of the wider Strovolos area, and our analysis of the Nicosia market gives useful context. In 2025, the typical resale apartment in Strovolos sold for around €1,415 per weighted square metre, with prices up less than 2% since 2020. Typical house prices rose by around 7.5% over the same period. In other words, Strovolos has been one of the steadier, more affordable parts of Nicosia, which can be an opportunity for buyers who want a central location without paying a premium.These are figures for Strovolos as a whole. Prices within Dasoupolis can vary considerably by street, plot and condition.What to check before you buyPermits and title deeds. Older houses sometimes have extensions or enclosed verandas that were never approved. Your lawyer should confirm the title deed and permits.The plot’s planning details. Ask about the planning zone and building density, especially if you’re thinking of extending or redeveloping.Condition. A survey by a civil engineer can identify issues with the roof, damp or structure before you commit.What’s being built nearby. New apartment blocks can change the feel of a street, for better or worse.Parking. In older streets without driveways, on-street parking can be limited.Renting in DasoupolisThe area’s central location and family character support steady demand for long-term rentals. Houses with gardens attract families, while well-maintained apartments appeal to professionals and couples. Landlords who keep their properties in good order and price them realistically usually find reliable tenants.Is Dasoupolis right for you?If you value a calm, green neighbourhood close to the heart of Nicosia, and you’re happy with an established area rather than a brand-new development, Dasoupolis has a lot to offer. Visit at different times of day, walk the streets and see which part of the neighbourhood feels right.Our Nicosia office is in Strovolos, so the area is right on our doorstep.

Most rental viewings last fifteen minutes. In that time you’re expected to decide whether a place is right for the next year or more of your life, often while another interested tenant is waiting outside. It’s no wonder people sign first and discover the problems later: the air conditioning in the bedroom doesn’t work, the common expenses are higher than expected, or the landlord takes weeks to fix anything.The way to avoid that is simple. Go in with a list of questions and don’t feel awkward asking them. A good landlord or agent will be glad you did.About the rent and the moneyWhat exactly does the rent include? Ask whether common expenses, water, internet or parking are part of the price or extra.How much are the common expenses, and who pays them? In many buildings they’re paid by the tenant. Ask for a recent figure, not an estimate.What is the deposit, and when and how is it returned? Agree in writing what can be deducted and in what timeframe it comes back.How is rent paid, and on what date? A bank transfer gives you a clear record.Can the rent increase during the contract? If so, by how much and when.About bills and utilitiesWill the electricity and water accounts be transferred to my name? Find out who arranges it and whether there are any outstanding bills on the property.What are typical monthly bills? Ask about summer electricity in particular. Air conditioning in July and August can make a big difference.Is there internet already installed? Check which providers are available in the building, especially if you work from home.How is water heated? Solar water heaters are common in Cyprus, but check whether there is an electric backup for winter.About the property itselfLook properly, not politely. Open cupboards, run the taps, flush the toilet and turn on the air conditioning in every room.Do all the appliances and air-conditioning units work? Ask when they were last serviced.Are there any signs of damp or leaks? Check corners, ceilings, behind furniture and under sinks.Is it furnished, and what stays? Ask for an inventory list with photos before you move in.Is there covered or allocated parking? And is it included in the rent?Is there storage? A storage room in the building can make a small flat far more liveable.About repairs and the landlordWho do I contact if something breaks? The landlord, an agent or a management company?Who pays for which repairs? Agree on the difference between normal wear and tear and damage.How quickly are repairs usually handled? Asking how a recent problem was dealt with can tell you a lot.Can I make small changes, such as hanging pictures, painting a room or installing a washing machine?Are pets allowed? Even if you don’t have one now, ask if you might in the future.About the contractHow long is the contract, and what are the renewal terms?Can I leave early, and with how much notice? Look for a clear break clause.What happens if the landlord sells the property? Ask how your tenancy is protected.Will the contract be in writing and signed by both sides? Never rely on a verbal agreement.If anything in the contract isn’t clear, ask for it in writing or have a lawyer look at it before you sign. It’s much easier to agree terms now than to argue about them later.About the building and the areaWho lives in the building? Mostly families, students or professionals?How is the building managed? Is there an active management committee, and are common areas kept clean?What’s the area like at night and at weekends? Visit again at a different time if you can.How far is it to work, schools, shops and public transport? Test the journey at rush hour, not on a quiet Sunday.Before you say yesTake photos during the viewing so you can compare properties later. Write down the answers you get. If you decide to go ahead, make sure what was promised during the viewing appears in the contract, whether it’s a new mattress, a repaired air-conditioning unit or parking included in the rent.Looking for a rental in Nicosia, Larnaca or Limassol? G&P Lazarou Estate Agents can arrange viewings, answer your questions and guide you through the contract.
