Re: Use of multiple agents to sell

Hi Pantheman. Thanks for your response. He is definitely registered and licensed. The agents trust me because of my reputation and transparency. I have now informed the first agent that a second one is to be appointed. He understands. I'm certainly happy to sign written agreements with both so long ...

Use of multiple agents to sell

Hi gang. I'm hoping to sell a property in Cyprus. I have an informal (verbal) agreement with an agent who has thus far not succeeded to find a buyer. I have previously told the current agent that I would eventually add another agent to the sale process (someone new has just verbally agreed to do ...

Re: Planning Permit Waiting Time

I think the lead-up to the 'supercouncil' elections that happened on 9 June are the culprit of the delays. Bureaucrats are jostling for positions in the upcoming merged councils (and campaigning for their preferred candidates) and have little time to do actual work. Unless you know someone in the ...

Listed houses

Hi All, this is a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question.

Do listed properties usually command a higher price because of their charm and ability to use density elsewhere and potential for a government subsidy to do a renovation?

Or is the case that they sell for cheaper because you ...

Re: Will I pay VAT when selling multiple properties

Thank you Nigel and Pantheman for your replies.

The properties were bequeathed to me by elderly relatives prior to their passing. I paid transfer fees etc, but don't recall paying any VAT. The house is a heritage 'listed' property and the land parcels are zoned residential and touristic, but are ...

Will I pay VAT when selling multiple properties

Hi All. I own some properties and am now trying to sell these (a house and some parcels of land). I have never sold anything before and do not live in Cyprus, nor am I a citizen. I am concerned that I might need to back-pay VAT on whichever property first sells once a subsequent property sells ...

Re: Can I get compensation for a proposed road through my land?

OK. Thanks again. It looks like the road was proposed 40 yrs ago, so it may never actually happen!

Re: Can I get compensation for a proposed road through my land?

Thanks Pantherman. Have not received anything from any department about this. Found out by chance. Is there a website for the planning department?

Can I get compensation for a proposed road through my land?

Hi Nigel and others. I have a parcel of land in Larnaca district and I am being told that there is going to be new road (eventually) that will cut through my land. I have a couple of questions. First, how can I confirm that there is a plan for this to happen, eg, do I ask the local council? Second ...
