G. CONCLUSIONS
It is to be concluded that the present business plan and the figures contained herein,
based on the project’s parameters and assumptions as defined above all of which are
supported by market available data, confirm the viability and profitability of the project.
Further from the findings of the business plan it is clear that adequate inflow of funds
from the sales income will exist to cover the cost of land and the cost of construction
and other expenses. Nevertheless, (setting aside the high probability of the project being
self- financing through sales on the plans), based solely on the above assumptions the
total funds to be invested would amount to € 5.371,064 which over a period of
two years will fetch a profit of Euro € 2.701,000 i.e. 50, 28 % return on
the investment i.e. 25, 14% return on the investment per year

The locality has become the subject of heavy interest and attractive for investors over
the last few years. Its much improved access, the relatively low cost of land and the
village’s expansion have provided an active market. Local property values are moving
upwards and this trend will continue but at a lower rate. The market for such one
donum plots in this area is active and the demand still high. For this reason the estate
remains a sound and valuable investment and it has been treated as such in this
assessment.
