When exactely does the house get listed in DLS in the Parcel Characteristics windows? Does that have any legal significance?

See Compulsory division/updating of title by the owner


Thanks Nigel, your link details the requirements for updating the title. Here's the thing: I see cases where ...

I am posting an internal link to a thread from this formun here, because it has some relevant information:
https://www.cyprus-property-buyers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2605

The case is a little different in the other thread because the house wasn't even in DLS, which bring me to the following ...

Another thing I forgot to mention:

In DLS you will usually see the house listed in the "Parcel Characteristics" window and the valuation of the plot will be much higher than other empty plot in the area, reflecting that value of the house that has been built on the plot. However, no mention of the ...

I'll try to make a list with a few number from here and other sources which I will link:

Cystat (2022): € 1178
Vandela from this thread (2024): € 3500
Fast Forward(2024): Starting at €1,800 Link

It caught my eye ...

I had an QS and now have 4 offers. One is significantly cheaper than the others, it is a good contractor and his offer is the only that resembles any of the QS numbers. There you see: they have enough work so they don't care. We are actually more at 3500/m2 - since we get a lift and a garage and ...

Regards,

That's including the land right?

In 2022 , the cost /sqm. alone was €1,188/sqm.

The costs include:

1. expenses for architectural designs, civil, electrical, mechanical engineering and energy efficiency studies,
2. fees for the issuing of planning and building permits,
3. labour expenses and costs for building materials,
4. the ...

I have come across the following situation multiple times now and I am trying to estimate the risk associated with such a transaction:

A an independant detached house is sold by a bank or specialised asset liquidation company. It'll typically be 10 to 20 years old nad have a title deed for the plot ...

There is a difference between cost and price.

Cost is what the construction industry has to pay for labour, materials, etc. to build the dwelling.

Price is what the purchaser has to pay for the dwelling.

You can't compare apples and oranges.

Good point. Allow me to follow up so we ...

NO!

First you don't find a good construction company since they all are busy until for ever, and second, you can easily count in about 2000€/m2 - otherwise nobody will lift a finger. We are at 2500€/m2 now and that is the bare minium, it is an uncomplicated house with no luxury other than being ...

I am curious if the CYSTAT data on construction cost is close to reality or not. They publish this Excel doc: https://library.cystat.gov.cy/NEW/CONSTRUCTION-1995_2023-EN-120724.xls
