Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer when buying property in Cyprus?
Yes. Independent legal advice ensures title is clean, taxes are paid, and your contract protects you from hidden risks.
How can I check if a property has title deeds?
We obtain an official search from the Land Registry showing ownership, mortgages, charges and other encumbrances.
Can foreigners buy immovable property in Cyprus?
Yes, subject to approval from the Council of Ministers for certain acquisitions. We handle applications and compliance.
What happens if the seller does not transfer the title deed?
We can file a specific performance action compelling transfer of ownership once your contract is lodged at the Land Registry.
Do I pay tax on property purchases?
Yes. Transfer fees, stamp duty and VAT (in some cases) apply. We calculate and manage these obligations on your behalf.
