Re: Selling our villa - questions
If you want a more accurate valuation, I suggest you contact the Property Valuers Association . For a property priced at €250,001 to €1,000,000, it will cost €300 plus 0.1% of the value for the intermediate amount.
Would this section of their website suggest that they only have one member in ...

Re: VAT Refund on property
Hi Nigel
Have only just seen your reply as we are now back in the UK.
Just wanted to let you know that, despite our lawyer advising us that we would have to return a portion of the VAT rebate that we received in 2017, the tax department did not request any partial refund of the rebate we ...

Re: Prohibition / Notice of action on land with co-owners
Dear donotjudge,
Can you say what zone the land is in and how big it is??
Depending on your answers, these are the actions you could take.
(btw, listening to any Tom, Dick or Harry about land laws is not advisable, they cannot do the things you have been 'advised' of, hence seek professional ...

Re: Seeking clarity on Γ3 planning zone
Hi Astipalea and welcome to the forum.
Γ3 is an Agricultural Zone. There's currently an embargo on building residential buildings in an agricultural zone.
The article you referred to is way out of date.

Hello Nigel,
Can't find any details about a blanket embargo on residential ...

Hello Pantheman: your 2 cents are much appreciated.
The house, and plot of land, are both in Dali, Nicosia, and my Cypriot Estate Agent recommended the law firm I'm using, to me.

Re: Copy of build permit
You can get a copy of the building permit from the District Administration office.
If you have a file number it would help, but take your title deed and any id, they may be able to search for it by name. That said, if your architect applied for it, you will need his name. Why don't you ask the ...

Re: Specific Power of Attorney: trusting the law firm.
Hi,
Just to add my 2 cents worth.
1. UK solicitors do not know what is required on a SPOA for the land registry to accept it. The local lower does.
2. The law firm I use always seeks the permission of the giving the power before signing any document or making any payments.
3. The is some wording ...

Re: Unpaid old sewerage taxes and municipality taxes
Dear Zambm166,
It is your lawyers fault that these remain unpaid. He should have demanded the receipts and certificates from the seller's lawyer. If you want to sue anyone, then sue him.
No point writing to the sewerage board it won't help. Money that is owed to the state always gets paid.

Re: Decision to discharge lawyer for new representation
Nigel, your comment 'Or you could cancel your contract, but you'd lose your deposit.', is not strictly correct, if there is a legal reason that the contract cannot be registered the deposit is returnable. In fact with our clients, if they are not happy to proceed due to the outcome of the due ...

Re: Capital gains tax
The CGT liability is on the property.
It will be calculated as follows:
Selling price minus
Price paid when the property was bought in 2012
+ Indexation from that date to present when sold
+ agency fees
+ legal fees
+ Transfer fees when you first bought it
+ 0.4% refugee tax

Re: Residential Land vs Field
Thanks Pan, we were thinking it must be a new rule because we hadn't heard of it before! Any idea how we can find out more?
And the plot thickens because the Dept Land Surveys has said we need to have our title registration updated! We have no idea why. Apparently it is this that will take a year ...

Re: Residential Land vs Field
Hi Pan & Nigel
We have not bought a share, it's an entire piece of residential land.
There are services already to the perimeter, but no pavement. It's a tarmacked lane and I would say not wide enough for a pavement.
Do you know if "demarcation" of the land is something everyone has to do? I'd ...

Re: Residential Land vs Field
Hi all, just an update on our situation.
Last summer we bought a piece of land in residential H3 zone on the edge of a mountain village. There are adjacent properties. I asked for advice on this forum and the general consensus was we could go directly to applying for a planning permit.
However ...
