Re: Someone installing large solar panels on communal roof

Thanks Nigel,

Yes they've already taken them down and put them on top of his private roof garden pergola, they definitely affect the external appearance somewhat but I'm not bothered and okay with it because it doesn't overlook or affect my property, however we have also been thinking of ideas to ...

Re: Someone installing large solar panels on communal roof

Turns out it was the developer/owner of an apartment however he said it was a mistake and they should have installed them on-top of his pergola on his roof garden. He did mention however since the metal bars are now installed, would we as a building like to keep them and add the panels in these ...

Someone installing large solar panels on communal roof

Hi -

I am the owner (with title deeds) of a top floor apartment and this morning woke up to large cranes and noise. I hoped that when I saw solar panels they were going to go on one of the roof gardens of the penthouses. There are three penthouses with private roof gardens and we have a communal ...

Re: Buying residential land on a main road? Access?

Thanks Nigel.

It's the price that got me from a bank repossession. Around 50,000e for 2000sqm which is great because around Larnaca and the surrounding area they are going for 100.000e for 400-500sqm and I think it's a lot of money for a plot that isn't that big, I want big garden space. I guess I ...

Re: Co-owner of land

Out of interest, I am looking for a suitable plot in the Larnaca (Centre, Aradippou, Oroklini, Kiti area) so if you guys do end up splitting it, selling it or selling a share of it, let me know! :-))

Re: Buying residential land on a main road? Access?

Thanks Nigel, Yes I haven't visited it yet. I've checked the plot on the DLS website and I can see building height and density is fine. It's a 2400sq meter plot and it's something like 8.2 meters high and building density is 0.4 and coverage 0.25 so I think there should be no issues there. I can ...

Buying residential land on a main road? Access?

This is something I've been wondering about for a while, but I've seen some residential plots up for sale on some of the bank repossession websites and some are on main roads. There was one in Aradippou on a dual carriageway type of thing with a metal barrier on the side of the road and I would ...

Re: Land Valued Less For No Apparent Reason

It's still surprising to me that a lot of people don't understand or can't comprehend that the land registry valuations are for tax purposes only and don't take into account the real market value. For example, inside your apartment you could have a state of the art jacuzzi and sauna alongside a ...

Re: Developer's "broker/representative" requested money after deeds issued


do you need planning permission for a very small above ground built in/permanent swimming pool on a roof garden?

Yes. Generally speaking, anything that permanently changes the outward appearance of a property requires planning permission.

Also, you'll need to consider the following:

If the ...

Re: Developer's "broker/representative" requested money after deeds issued

The developer/investor got back in touch and because he owns two flats on the same floor as us, he comes maybe once a month or every couple if months from abroad, he said "I will pay the broker fee of 200 euros if I can use your wifi when I come". :lol: :lol: :lol: He's previously asked if he could ...

Re: Developer's "broker/representative" requested money after deeds issued

Whilst I've opened this thread and we've got deeds, I'm wondering, do you need planning permission for a very small above ground built in/permanent swimming pool on a roof garden? It would be more of a plunge pool, very large bath, jacuzzi type "pool" (Santorini style i.e enough to lay down in but ...

Re: How on earth does someone sell land in Cyprus?

What city/region? I'm always on the look out for a residential plot to build on in the future, but my preference is Larnaca but I'm quite picky about the location, size and local neighbourhood.

We also own a decent amount of agricultural fields but nobody will want them for a worthwhile amount ...
