Property for sale near Evangelismos Hospital

Buying property in Cyprus is relatively easy. It is advisable to contact a real estate agent and a lawyer: they know the market and regulations and how to avoid any complexities.

Property is not as cheap in Cyprus as you might think: recent data (June 2025) do not place it in Europe's top 10 most affordable places.

However, there is a variation in prices depending on location. Some properties in specific areas may be much more expensive than others.

At the same time, you can find affordable houses and apartments in villages (some close to the city) and in cities, just not in the suburbs close to the city centre.

Yes, it is because of rising prices and demand. Demand is high for all types of property, especially apartments. Cyprus real estate is among the most profitable in Europe: apartments, for example, can bring an annual yield of 8,8% (Q3 2024, YoY comparison, data from the Central Bank of Cyprus). The rental yield for apartments was 5,42% for Q4 2024 (RICS), much higher than the mortgage rate in some banks.

Cyprus is strategically located in the Mediterranean, has a sunny, mild climate, and has a low cost of living. Therefore, it is highly popular with businesspeople, entrepreneurs, retirees, or people seeking a pleasant place to live. The economy is strong, and the government and the private sector support entrepreneurial activity. There is a large ex-pat community, and most people speak English.

Therefore, property in Cyprus is an excellent investment choice. It can give you a steady cash flow and a stream of passive income with long-term appreciation. Nevertheless, you should seek personal advice from professionals (like a financial advisor or a real estate agent) before deciding to invest.

Yes, with permission from the Council of Ministers. This is a simple procedure, done by submitting Form Comm. 145 to the District Officer in whose district the property is situated.

The land, house, apartment or building must not be larger than necessary for the purpose you need. The land plot must be large enough for a residential home, with a maximum size of 4,014 sqm.

The relevant law is The Immovable Property Acquisition (Aliens) Law, Cap. 109.

The process usually takes 1-2 months, depending on the circumstances and the property involved. If, for example, you need a mortgage or Council of Ministers approval and the property is still under construction or in the renovation process, it might take longer.
