Re: Selling Fees
Hi John and welcome to the forum,
There are a number of costs to consider when selling your property:
- Legal fees
- Estate agents fees (approx. 5% of the price achieved).
- Capital Gains Tax (at 20% on the 'profit' less certain allowances - for more information see http://www.cyprus-property-buyers.com/l ... ns-tax.htm)
- Plus any other local taxes, communal charges (if applicable), water and other utility bills.
If you haven't got title to the property, you may find the developer will try to charge you a 'cancellation fee', which you must resist - they are illegal.

Re: Selling Fees
Hi Nigel
Although cancellation fees are illegal, suppose it is written into your contract that upon cancellation a percentage fee will be paid.
(No it isn't written in mine, but I know someone who has it written into their contract)

Re: Selling Fees
Hi Molly,
The administrative costs involved should be no more than €500 - €1,000 max and that's what should be written in the contract of sale.
If people have signed up to some percentage of the purchase that exceeds this amount, then there's little they can do about it.
