Cyprus Property Forum for Buyers, Sellers & Investors

Yesterday's estate agent suggested that we employed someone to tidy it up ourselves, which is probably the only option, unless anyone has a better suggestion?

That may be a problem for you - trespass. Suggest you have a word with the bank in question to if they will tidy up the place - or allow ...

Hi J B

I'm surprised - they used to have many more valuers on their books.

One company you could try is Zyprus.

I'm sure Pantheman has others.

Cheers,

You're welcome J B

Your new estate agent found the same information I did about your house on the DLS database.

It sounds as if your developer didn't apply to have the house added to the Title Deed. I can't say why not?

I added my bungalow to the Title Deed. It took the Land Registry 11 months to ...

Hi J B

According to your Paphos solicitor, it appears that the bungalow and pool have not been added to the Title Deed (if you have details of the deed, please PM me the details highlighted in yellow in the picture below, and I'll check on the Land Registry database.)

Hello AnaStasy

It sounds as if you've been looking at a duplex apartment - I don't know why they've called the upper floor an "attic".

If the developer built it like that, there shouldn't be a problem.

Is there a proper staircase to the first floor? Is the bathroom plumbing integrated into the ...

However, because it is not a building plot we can't take advantage of the "20 day permit" system that came in last year, so our planning application may take up to 6 months to be approved.....

You can't win them all. We had to wait for our building permit to be issued - our architect kept ...

Hi Everyone

Apologies, the forum's been very unstable over the past few weeks as it was being hit by massive numbers of bots (short for "robots"), which are essentially computer programs that interact with websites on their own, without needing a person to manage them constantly. Many are used to ...

Hi donotjudge

I don't know how you'd go about getting a forced sale, but I'm sure you'd need a court order.

You'll need to get legal advice on how to proceed. The UK Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office publishes a list of English-speaking lawyer in Cyprus. You can start your search at Find a ...

Management Committees should insure against public liability.

Hi Mojo and welcome to the forum.

The lift shaft is part of the 'jointly-owned property' and although it may be possible to use it, the other owners will have to agree and the Regulations governing the 'jointly-owned building' will need to be changed.

Those changes will have to be acceptable to ...

Hi Darren

If you have the Title Deed for your unit, you will see whether the land surrounding your unit is communal land. (But I suspect it isn't communal land.)

But regardless if whether it is your land you cannot erect a permanent structure on it without planning permission.

Regards

Hi donotjudge - and welcome back.

I don't think you need to worry. If the other owner does something with the land illegally, it would result in significant reputational damage for the company.

I've heard of only one case where the local village villain sold someone else's land claiming it was his ...

Hi Tomas

Firstly, congratulations on your marriage.

Individual rezoning on request is not possible.

Hi livecyrax

Thanks for reasons that made you decide you wouldn't buy property in Cyprus.

Things have improved over the the 23 years we've been living here, but there's still some way to go to fully deal with the systemic problems.

We haven't had any problems, probably because we did a lot of ...

Hi Tomas

It is possible that land in a Γα4 agricultural zone could be rezoned at some time in the future, but it could take many decades.

Plans are reviewed every ten years - and if there's a demand for housing the area, land adjacent to residential land may be rezoned.

But expansion takes place ...
