@Toon ah yes, thanks for this Toon. We don't plan on ever moving again so resale isn't an issue for us. The vendors started the Trapped Buyers process in 2015 and the separate deeds have been issued to the developer in Jun 2022...so know it could ... Read More

@Samsam6 yeah we're definitely being cautious but have been advised by their lawyer that the title deed transfer to their name is well underway (deeds issued June 2022 and currently in the objections phase). We're speaking with our lawyer next week ... Read More

Transferring car ownership
OK, so we've now (finally!) found our property in Cyprus and had our offer accepted. The owner (who we actually know) has also said we can have their car as they are moving back to the UK and we are going to purchase this as a separate transaction. ... Read More
Title Deeds on Application?
As we are resuming our property search, I've seen a few which say 'Title Deeds on Application'. Can anyone shed any light on this status and any experience of buying when deeds have to be applied for/assigned? I have asked our lawyer but thought ... Read More
New Citizenship Income Requirement for Third Country Nationals by dvb123

So spoken with my lawyer today (who are apparently quite an influential practice in Paphos) and she said within their circles they certainly haven't heard anything about upping the TR financial criteria....so I'm breathing again now (panic over for ... Read More
