Cyprus Property Forum for Buyers, Sellers & Investors

Thank you Nigel. Good to know.

Best wishes from Lockdown UK.

Hi All, I hope everyone is well in these dangerous times. An interesting question : When the UK was a member of the EU, a non Cyprus resident who owned a Cyprus property could rent out the said property on a full time tenancy etc. Does anyone know what the situation is now the UK is no longer in the...

hello Mr Burger, As Nigel says........Run away at the speed of an Olympian. The developers are crooks, their Lawyers are crooks and they all know each other in the Land Registry and local District offices. As much as you may love the property there is another out there for you. Mine comes to mind bu...

Well, Well, Well....... Christmas became very stressful as there had been no sign of those wonderful pieces of paper generated by the highly efficient staff at the Limassol Land Registry Office. Commonly known as "PROPERTY TITLE DEEDS".... I am however, now able to report that the actual, real, pape...

Hi Nigel, It is a toss up whether to sell or keep the tenant. He and his family have been known to us since 2004 or so and he is a very senior Director. He will probably retire in around 5 years and has said he is quite happy to remain on board until at least that time. What we need to consider is h...

Hi Nigel.
Cash works.

We finally have the transfer completed even with the LRO creating problems at the time of the transfer.

I am unable to describe the sheer relief.

All we need now is a buyer..anyone want a great house in Cyprus?

Thank you for your support Nigel.

Hi Nigel, I agree but what else can we do. We are both well over 70 now and we don't need the hassle any more. The dream of moving in on June 3rd 2003 followed by a huge party soon went downhill and whilst I would love to see the "ba...d" well and truly sorted, the legal system is far too corrupt to...

Hello Nigel, Well, as usual Cyprus Law ground to a halt and no hearing taking place.....The local judges have not got a clue. They cannot agree amongst themselves what the "New law" re title deeds and the LRO means for common folk....... Luckily for us.....A woman based in Limassol who happened to h...

Next Court hearing September 20th.

We have had to provide yet another affidavit proving we Paid house in full. Plus copies of all cheques again.

Talk about corrupt!!!!!!

Not holding out much hope.

Hi All,

When are the sewerage charge invoices being issued this year please?

Will they still be from the Sewerage Board or the local village office?

Thank you in advance.

As an example I use HIFX now known as XE Currency. I have used them for 14 years with no problems. I am currently residing in Uk but have a Cyprus Bank account and debit card. I go online (you need to register) and use my debit card to conduct the transaction. If, having sold your house it is a trad...

Hello Nigel and Pantheman, Re the original lawyer confirming payments......Not acceptable. Bank sent copies of every cheque but LRO demanded originals to which the Bank told them to ....F.....O.....f The LRO are the ones now asking for our affidavit. This will be number two plus lawyer letters etc e...

Hi,

Hopefully we may soon receive our title deeds. (Ever the optimist). Any one paid Estate Agent fees recently for selling. If so what are costs like now?

Also, Nigel, are we allowed to put up details of ones own property for sale on the Forum?

Regards

Update time. We finally convinced the LRO to allow us to deposit the Immovable Property taxes paid by the developer from 2003 to 2012 in their Escrow account in the developers name. What a job that was. The developer and his lawyer both stated they had never instigated such an invoice. Luckily the c...

Hi Nigel,

I have actually suggested this to our lawyer and await a reply.

I have also suggested the lawyer pays the developer from his account. Therefore this being proof to the TRO....Again I await a response.

Will keep you advised.
