Information For Cyprus Expats On Their Rights In The Purchase Of Cyprus Property
Limassol Land Registry Office
The Department of Lands and Surveys ‘Citizens Charter’ provides information on the services it offers together with the procedures to be followed and the costs associated with various types of applications related to immovable property in Cyprus.
Amongst other aspects, the latest issue of the Department’s ‘Citizen’s Charter’ published earlier this month, contains information about ‘The Sale of Land (Specific Performance) Law No. 81(I)/2011′ that came into force on 1st August 2011. This includes details of “Vesting Contracts” by which a property that has yet to be issued with its Title Deed may be sold without the involvement of its registered owner.
“Vesting Contracts” overcome the problems whereby unscrupulous developers demand outrageous sums of money from those wishing to sell a property before its Title Deed has been issued.
The latest issue of the ‘Citizen’s Charter’ advises potential buyers to proceed with “a lot of caution“ and provides a checklist to help them avoid some of the more obvious pitfalls.

Note that the information contained in the Charter does not constitute full and detailed interpretation of any Laws or Regulations. For more information, you are advised to contact the Lands Offices in each District, or the Department of Lands and Surveys website.
