Dear All,
Can anyone give me a rough number on construction materials prices for 2024? Did they increase? If yes, how much roughly?

Let us know when you find out. Some of us are interested to know how long it currently takes in reality.


Dear All,
Let me update you. Long story short - the case was not yet reviewed because of the municipal reform and moving to new building.
Phoning them - didn't work, nobody answered. So, I ...

Nigel,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I was reading here that the Limassol Town Planning Department was supposed to move to a new place after the elections. Do you know the new address?
Thank you in advance.

Dear Community,
Our developer submitted all the documents for obtaining a planning permit about 9 months ago. He is saying it's not yet been approved. Isn't it too long? If I have the application number, can I myself find out about its status? If yes, please advise how to do it.
Thank you in advance ...

Dear All,

We were offered a house in a project, where only 4 out of 15 were built. Obviously, currently there is no title deed for that house. The developer reputation is okay. We wonder if there is a way to obtain a title deed for such case house? We don't want to wait let's say 10 years that they ...

Dear All,

We recently viewed a house. The owner showed us a title deed, which was on the plot showing it's parameters. Right below the table it's mentioned that there is a two-storey house. Is it a valid house title deed?

Dear All,

We often here now that in some areas of Limassol the building coefficient was or will be increased. How can we find out if in some municipalities (like in Souni, for example) there is a plan to increase the building coefficient? Is there any official source who can inform us on that ...

Hi All,

We are looking for a house to buy. Can anyone suggest what is the normal wall thickness in Cyprus? If it's a 1 layer of brick (most houses are like this), is it enough for Cyprus weather? Or it's a cheap version and minimum 2 layers should be?

Thanks

Thank you, Nigel! Very helpful

Thank you everyone for the answers.
I was provided with a the "incentive program document" in Greek (I attached it), where it says that can be legalized extra 20% or 60 sqm, what is biggest. Does anyone know this version of the program?

Hi Nigel,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, appreciate your help.
Do I correctly understand you that the building coefficient can have an extra 20% according to this incentive? An example, if the current coefficient is 20%, if it's approved it will be 40%?

Thanks

Hi Nigel,

Thank you for preventing becoming an idiot :).
Maybe you know, how difficult is to submit a request for legalizing the extensions? What documents have to be submitted? What's an approximative response time?

Thank you

Hi All,

We've been offered to buy a property which doesn't have a Title Deed. It does have a Final Approval Certificate, but the current building has an extra room to the initial approved planning. Is it a very bad case? Or there is a way to fix it (some amnesty or incentive programs exist now?)?
