What is the buying process in Cyprus?
A typical Cyprus purchase follows:
(1) agree price and terms,
(2) your lawyer completes due diligence, including a Land Registry search for mortgages/charges,
(3) sign the Contract of Sale,
(4) lodge/deposit the contract at the Land Registry (often a crucial buyer protection step under Cyprus “specific performance” protections),
(5) pay any applicable taxes/fees and complete payments,
(6) transfer of ownership and title deed into the buyer’s name when available. If you’re buying new build/off-plan, the “title deed timeline” becomes a major point to verify upfront.
Most estate agents and developers in Cyprus will be able to assist you with this process, however we recommend using an independent lawyer for any property purchase or investment in Cyprus.
What are “title deeds” in Cyprus—and should I buy without them?
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.
For more information on buying an off plan property in Cyprus or seeking legal representation please reach out to our in house Cyprus Property Consultants.
What taxes and fees should I budget for when buying property in Cyprus?
Buyer costs in Cyprus typically include a mix of: VAT (commonly for new builds), Land Registry transfer fees (commonly for resales), legal fees, property insurance, surveys/inspections, and local/utility set-up costs.
Whether you pay VAT or transfer fees depends on the property and transaction structure, and there can be reductions/exemptions in some cases.
Also budget for ongoing ownership costs such as municipal fees, utilities, and maintenance/management (especially in complexes).
Because rates and rules can change, get a written cost estimate for your exact property before you sign.
What’s different about buying property in Dordogne compared with other parts of France?
Buying property in Dordogne often means older stone houses, farmhouses, and rural plots, so condition and utilities matter as much as location.
Beyond the standard notary checks, focus on septic systems (assainissement non collectif), roof and damp issues, and whether barns/outbuildings were legally converted.
Many Dordogne buyers also target gîtes or holiday rentals, so confirm what’s realistic for access, internet, and year-round liveability before you commit.
