FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a lawyer to buy property in Cyprus?

Not technically required, but strongly advised. Cyprus has historic issues with developer bankruptcies and missing title deeds. Independent legal review is the only way to protect yourself.

How much does conveyancing cost?

Typical fixed fee: €1,500–€3,500 depending on property value and complexity. We provide a written quote after our initial review.

What is the difference between contract deposit and title deed transfer?

Depositing the Sale Contract at Lands Office protects your right to ownership. Title deed transfer happens later — sometimes years later for off-plan properties — and converts your contractual right into registered ownership.

Can I buy property as a non-EU citizen?

Yes — non-EU buyers can purchase one residential property and one commercial unit per buyer, subject to Council of Ministers permission (which is a formality).

What taxes apply when buying property?

VAT (5% reduced rate for primary residence, 19% otherwise), Transfer Fees (3–8%), and Stamp Duty. We structure to minimise total tax.

What if the developer goes bankrupt before I get my title deed?

This is exactly why we deposit your contract at Lands Office early — it creates a registered legal right that survives developer insolvency. We’ve recovered title for dozens of clients in this situation.
