Cyprus Property Forum for Buyers, Sellers & Investors

Hi Brian I've been looking through your posts. Have you seen the problem for yourself? Typically, a sewerage system is just a series of pipes that direct the brown waste to a septic tank. The tank retains the solids and the liquid drains into the subsoil. The tank has to be emptied occasionally, but...

Dear Maddy Welcome to the forum. I can't help you with this and you'll need someone here to make enquiries on your behalf (a lawyer). Do you have the Title Deed for the property? Or perhaps the Cypriot ID of the person from whom you inherited the property? The Department of Lands & Surveys, which is...

Dear Brian Welcome to the forum. The Management Committee (MC) can request and pay for contractors to carry out remedial work, with monies collected from the owners as part of their communal fee contributions. Regarding the new sewerage system, the MC should have requested warrantees on the labour a...

I stand corrected Pan. I mis-read the entry requirements at https://www.visitcyprus.com/index.php/en/practical-info/entry-requirements : Passports and Visas Admission and Transit Restrictions Entry regulations apply only to the areas controlled by the Government of the Republic of Cyprus. A passport...

Hi Irini and welcome to the forum. I think it would be wise to get a Greek passport. There are four Missions of Greece in Canada that you can find at https://www.mfa.gr/canada/en/about-us.html If you enter Cyprus on a Canadian passport you'll probably get a 90-day stamp in your passport. This will l...

Hi JK Pleased you managed to find the paperwork. Many people register their Wills with the Registrar at their local court, which ensures the Wills do not get lost. Unfortunately you cannot change the lawyer who's named in a Will as the executor as this would go against the final wishes of the deceas...

Rather than Pan's "Tell them to take a walk", I'd tell them to go forth & multiply.

Cheers,

David

Hi David,

I published the article in Cyprus Property News - Ministry to axe building permits for low-risk developments.

If your lawyer received 300+ letters, imagine how many thousands were sent to other lawyers.

All down to the incompetence of MPs.

Hi HappyCamper The law was introduced in February 2021 that levied 0.4% tax of all sales of immovable property. The 0.4%, was to go towards supporting Greek Cypriot refugees for their inability to possess, have access to, or otherwise gainfully use their land in the occupied north. However, the law ...

Hi RobertJ and welcome to the forum As he's attached a port to your property's exterior wall, he's probably guilty of criminal damage. He needs to remove it and pay the costs of repairing your wall. As Vendela has noted he's probably built the porch and made changes to his car port illegally. Regards,

Hi Pan A general search of the DLS database will not show who owns the property, etc. , but it will show the location of the property, its size, and a few other bits and pieces. (I've done this before for those wanting to know how their communal fees are calculated.) At least I'll be able to see if ...

Hi Dave

If you can send me the details on your deed through my contact page that are highlighted in yellow on this image.

I'll see what I can find on the DLS database.

Hi donotjudge

The best people to ask about this is a bank, but I believe it should be possible to use the land as collateral for a loan.
