Here are the simplified steps to purchase a property in the Limassol district of Cyprus:
Find a home that meets your requirements and budget.
Contact our real estate agent to express your interest.
Arrange a viewing of the property and ask any relevant questions.
Make an offer to the seller. We can assist in negotiating a better price.
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 in Limassol.
Pay a deposit to secure the property and sign a pre-contract (Reservation agreement).
Proceed with signing the contract and paying part of the remaining balance.
If you are a non-EU citizen, obtain permission to buy the property from the Council of Ministers through your lawyer. The application for permission to purchase immovable property in Cyprus is usually granted within a month.
If the property has title deeds, you must get a Land Registry appointment, pay the transfer fees, and transfer the title deed before paying the remaining balance.
