Here are the simplified steps to purchase a property in the Famagusta district of Cyprus:

1. Arrange a viewing of the property with our real estate agent.
2. Make an offer to the seller. We can assist in negotiating a better price.
3. Once the offer is accepted, hire a lawyer to handle the legal aspects of the process. We can help you find a reliable property lawyer.
4. Pay a deposit to secure the property and sign a pre-contract (Reservation agreement).
5. Proceed with signing the contract and paying part of the remaining balance.
6. If the property, or the land it is on, is registered in the seller's name, deposit the signed contract at the Famagusta District Lands Office within six months of signing. This brings in the Specific Performance Law, which aims to protect you if the seller fails to meet the contract.
7. Buyers who are not citizens of Cyprus, the EU or the EEA need a permit to buy from the District Administration, with a few exemptions in the law. It takes 2 to 3 weeks.
8. When the property has a title deed, you and the seller transfer it at a District Lands Office by appointment. Pay the rest of the price at the transfer.
