General Purchasing in Cyprus
Posted: 25 Jan 2017 16:28
Hi,
I am hoping to find a house in Paphos initially as a family holiday home I have family that live on the island. I have read the commandments and am a little confused with the process of buying. I'm not quite sure how to locate a surveyor to check the property is structurally sound, I was hoping there was a list on line, also even though its normal to be part of the build up of title deeds and have to wait which seems quite risky what would your solicitor give you to confirm no one could borrow on the property and that this was indeed not a risk, while the deeds are making there way to you, we are looking at properties only with title deeds. however on some sites you have the option of FULL TITLE DEEDS and TITLE DEEDS not sure of the difference.
Is it enough for safe guard that by having an independent solicitor and surveyor and a Real estate agent which are part of the real estate agent association that it cuts down on risk would that be fair to say?
Opening a bank account on Cyprus for transferring utilities and communal charges etc is it ok to walk into any bank to open an account or do
certain rules apply.
Much appreciated for any feedback given.
thanks
