Cyprus Property Forum for Buyers, Sellers & Investors

Hi Blackbird

There was obviously a mix up somewhere - at least you got your money back.

REgards,

Dear Rollwithit, There is information on the Cyprus Department of Labour Inspection website. If you visit http://www.mlsi.gov.cy/mlsi/dli/dli.nsf/AdvancedSearch_en?OpenForm&q=&p=1&w=&t=&s=lifts&L=E&e=&i=1 you will find several documents relating to the legislation on lifts. Some of these are in Gree...

Hi LoveCyprusGAL and welcome to the Cyprus Property Forum. The Cyprus property market is depressed at the moment, but if you want to find out the value of your husband's land you will need to get it valued. There are a number of property valuers here - I will send you an email with the contact detai...

Hi Filip and welcome to the forum,

Unfortunately, details of properties and their ownership are not generally available in Cyprus. Someone else asked this problem a short time ago - you can read more about it at viewtopic.php?f=21&t=371

Hi Alan, It is certainly possible to establish and register a Management Committee even though Title Deed shave yet to be issued. Take a look at Louise's article at http://www.news.cyprus-property-buyers.com/2010/01/31/managing-cyprus-apartments-and-building-complexes/id=003397 Once registered, the ...

Hello giseladimis - and welcome to the forum. Generally speaking in any agricultural plot, assuming it is of a sufficient size, you can build a single house. In certain circumstances, for example if there is a sufficient supply of drinking water, you can build up to four houses. But I have to say th...

Nigel, you could just get a search done at the land registry. If you have the cadastral plan of the area incorporating the plot. Unfortunately, the Land Registry will not give out the information unless you are an 'interested party' - but that is different if you know them or have contacts. There's...

Thanks for the info Louise,

I guess you have a problem here because CYTA want a deposit from you because you do not have your Title Deeds.

Hello again, I suspect that Title Deeds are in the process of being issued. Let me see if I can explain about this charge: When you bought the property you took out a mortgage - and at that time, your developer acted as your guarantor. This was because the property you were buying was not registered...

Hi mdonnelly and welcome to the forum, You will find a 'Guide to obtaining a Title search' in my magazine at http://www.news.cyprus-property-buyers.com/2010/05/16/new-title-search-procedures-in-cyprus/id=004888 It is near the bottom of the article and has links to download all the forms you need.

I would be very interested to hear how you found out. Someone else here wants to do the same.

Hi bern,

I have sent you a PM with the name and contact details of someone who may be suitable.

Hi Rollwithit - thanks, I had a nice break in Lebanon - it's well worth a visit if you ever get the chance. Unfortunately, non-payment of communal charges is a very common problem - particularly when many of the residents are absent. As for insurance, you need to look at your contract of sale - this...

You're welcome fortyacres - and thank you for your comments. In answer to your question, there is an excellent chance that the undeveloped land will be registered at the Land Registry. And it may be possible to find out who owns it from the local Community Office - some of these maintain local recor...

Hello fortyacres and welcome to the forum, Unfortunately, it is not possible to search the Land Registry here in Cyprus as it is in the UK. In England and Wales The Land Registry operates an open register which means that copies of all documents referred to on the registered title can be obtained by...
