Buying property in Cyprus

The procedure, step by step

  1. Shortlist and view properties with 21 Property Finder
  2. Reserve the property and agree heads of terms
  3. Legal due diligence on title and permits
  4. Sign and deposit the contract at the Land Registry
  5. For non-EU buyers, obtain the Council of Ministers permit
  6. Pay transfer fees / clearances and complete the transfer

What to watch out for

  • Reservation deposits paid before due diligence
  • Properties without a separate title deed
  • Non-EU buyers needing prior permission to acquire
  • Currency, financing and tax-residency implications

Why professional guidance matters

A buyer who handles the search, legal and tax steps as one process avoids the common traps. We coordinate the property side; the partner advocate secures the legal side.

From our office — what has changed

Over the last ten years

Foreign-buyer demand grew strongly, contract-deposit protection became routine, and processes around permits were streamlined.

In the last two years

Transfer-fee and stamp-duty treatment changed from 2026 and primary-residence VAT relief stays capped — the partner confirms your net cost.
