The lawyer will draw up the PoA & sent it to your MiL & brother. You MiL & brother will have to make an appointment th...

Re: Solar panels Z1 / Z3 zone

Hi nataliab and welcome to the forum. I can't answer your question and I suggest you visit the Paphos Town Planning Department to see if your erect solar panels on the land. Z1 and Z3 are agricultural zones and protected (you can't build dwellings on them.) But the panners may allow you to put solar...

Re: Non payment of communal fees

Hi Keith I suggest you contact BoC - they should pay fees from the date they took (repossessed?) the property. As for the others, you'll need a lawyer to get a court order instructing the Land Registry to place a charge on the properties owned by the debtors. (There's a new law in the pipeline that ...

Re: Hunting in Paphos

Just to add t Pan's comment.

We had friends who lived on the Kamares development in Paphos. During the hunting season shotgun pellets occasionally showered their home.

Live in the city.

Re: Withholding communal fees

Hi Brian This is more complex than I thought. As Pan suggested earlier, I suggest you seek legal advice. If there are roots in the pipework, clearing them out is only a temporary fix - they'll grow back. The damaged pipe needs to be replaced. I'm not sure what you mean by "a proxy can authorise any ...

Re: Legal advice

Hi Irini The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office publishes a list of English-speaking lawyers in Cyprus. You can start your search at In which country do you need a lawyer? . In Paphos, I suggest you get in contact with the Zambartas law firm . I know the firm's principals very well - 'L' ...

Re: Withholding communal fees

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...

Re: T/C Guardianship query - property southern Cyprus

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...

Re: Withholding communal fees

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...

Re: Greek in Canada

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...

Re: Parents Flat - Looking to sell. Father Passed Away.

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...
