I have lived in Cyprus for 20 years and service/ repairs are terrible, bogus "builders" everywhere. Solar panel has never worked, and oddjobmen only leave behind broken roof tiles. Which is why several advertise as "British plumber" etc in the Limassol area. Building costs are around 700 Cyprus pounds per m2 for traditional build.

hi, myself and my family are looking into relocating to cyprus, in the paphos area, and were interested to find out what the work situation is like for electricians. In the uk I run my own electrical company and do installations, rewires, maintenance and testing.
What are salaries like?
What differences are there to the uk markets?
