Cyprus Property Forum for Buyers, Sellers & Investors

letter to cyprus solicitor and fees Dear Sir/Madam my wife and I have recently completed the purchase of a holiday home in Paphos. We are joint owners of the property. My UK solicitor has advised us that we need to amend our UK Wills to include a Codicil that states that UK law should apply to our e...

In our case REMU put the property with an estate agent we knew - it had been up for sale for at least a year through REMU themselves with no success so they went out to 2 agents for responses to a tender. Property is sold as seen - so survey etc. REMU had the title deeds in their name and the law on...

the response from my solicitor when asked was..... Thank you for your email. You were very wise you signed the power of attorney. You signed so we could conclude all the works without difficulties. We never use the power of attorney without the consent of the client. We signed the contract after you...

what i am looking at is not an fx transfer - it is a euro bank account now - this link is not an advert it is a review ADVERTORIAL LINK REMOVED the debit card makes the difference I think if I can avoid opening a cypriot bank account I will or this ADVERTISING LINK REMOVED any experiences would be w...

our "management agency" (Blue Orange - Paphos) sent us all a letter today telling us all individually that it was now "urgent" that we complied with the 1992 regulations re the communal "public" pool (lifeguards, water samples etc). They want us to agree that they should do this on our behalf and in...

this seems attractive at first sight

Thanks Nigel My PoA was for property transfer I know it can not be used for any other purpose But as and when we may sell/buy another property it needs to be revoked so we can choose another solicitor So my question was how do you revoke? If you are not a solicitor Nigel you should not be answering ...

I had to give my solicitor PoA so that we could complete a property purchase in Cyprus whilst we were in the UK.
Purchase now completed - he acted on our behalf using the PoA whenever I authorised him to do so in writing
But how do I now revoke the PoA/should I revoke it?

Any advice welcome

BoC appear to be the biggest estate agent in Cyprus have just completed a purchase from REMU and looking forward to paphos A little stressful and the word "customer" does not appear to have an equivalent in the greek language No "standard" procedures - they make them up as they go along and depends ...

ah well

there are lots available

i would suggest others check them out

at first sight this (and other competitors) looked good to me but I know nothing of them all in all they seem to everything I would want a bank account for - ATM withdrawals, shopping, bill payment etc - but with minimal fees and a competitive exchange rate are they in common use in cyprus? others u...

BoC Cyprus based savings account is the best way methinks/or possibly Barclays UK Euro account (that has mixed reviews)

quick update on BoC and euro accounts BoC UK can not open cypriot euro accounts for customers (I tried) Indeed the Manchester "branch" is not open to the public (it is for businesses only) The only way to contact BoC UK is an email address off their web site or a UK Customer Care phone number BoC UK...

about to sign purchase contract - have copies of title deeds, with both planning permission and final completion approval as well solicitor has sent me a "Certificate of Investment Property" as proof of no encumbrances which if our greek is ok contains a table (above which is says "encumbrances") sh...

not sure what is the best way to do this and its all greek to me - but what I need is a euro bank account that I can put deposits into as needed (probably twice a year) and I can use to pay cypriot bills and draw cash out of ATMs when I am over. Internet banking is a must have. I see that some UK ba...
