Cyprus Property Forum for Buyers, Sellers & Investors

Quick update to my earlier post. I've been reading through Regulation Number 368/96 . Paragraph 45.-(1) (b) states: "την ανελλιπή, σε όλες τις ώρες λειτουργίας της δεξαμενής, παρουσία του προσωπικού εποπτείας των λουσμένων που προβλέπεται εκάστοτε σύμφωνα με τις διατάξεις του Κανονισμού 47·" Which r...

Hi AlRe This is how the Cyprus law & regulations relating to swimming pools currently stand: Cyprus Law N.55(I)/92 paragraph 2 states that the term ‘public swimming pool’ also includes the swimming pools of buildings which are used by the owners of the units or their tenants. Regulation Number 368/9...

Are notices sufficient to satisfy the current regulations or does the pool have to be physically closed i.e. access shut off totally or pool drained and covered etc? As far as I am aware, notices are sufficient, but it would be helpful to cover the pool. (If you drain the pool, it's likely that it ...

Hi Jordan A concierge is merely a caretaker. I don't understand why you are paying him? I'll send you an email. I need to see a legible copy of your contract of sale and any other agreements you have relating to your apartment and the Title Deed (assuming you have one.) You and the other owners need...

Hi Barry

I attended a seminar a few years ago on managing complexes.

The lawyer running the seminar confirmed that people who don't pay their communal fees can be banned from using communal facilities (including a swimming pool.

Hi Jordan

You should be paying communal fees to the management committee. Whoever you pay is a member of the committee.

Hello daisyanne and welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, many Management Committees have been forced to close communal swimming pools due to the high cost of running them - and in particular the cost involved in paying for a lifeguard (a legal requirement.) When they buy property in a complex, many ...

Hi Jordan and welcome to the forum. You need to speak with the Management Committee, which is responsible for maintaining, repairing, insuring and managing the building. A Management Committee is required by law and you pay communal fees to the committee, which are calculated on the size of your apa...

Hello Vendela

There is obviously something wrong.

Hi Bailey10 I can't help you with this one as I don't have the specialised knowledge. The architect who's helping with the building permits should be able to advise - alternatively a specialist in the field.
