In Cyprus, the title deed is the Land Registry record proving legal ownership. Ideally, you buy a property with a separate title deed already issued.
If a deed isn’t available yet (common in new developments), you’re relying on the contract structure and the developer’s path to issuing separate titles.
Reduce risk by:
(a) confirming the property’s legal status through a Land Registry search,
(b) ensuring the Contract of Sale is deposited at the Land Registry, and
(c) verifying what completion certificates and registrations are still needed before deeds can be issued and transferred.
