Hi Denise,
That's exciting. You'll enjoy the blue skies just about every single day! It's a beautiful island. Feel free to ask anything if I can be of help.
Olive.

Thank you and Hi there

Thank you Olive. We really appreciate all the friends and help that we can get in this important phase of our lives. Xx

Hi Olive,

We have a little problem when looking at properties on line.
We have 2 small dogs and are definitely bringing them with us, the problem is that we don't know if the properties we would consider buying would allow the dogs. It's not like here where you buy a property and it's up to one whether we have pets or not.
Have you any idea how we would find out if the dogs would be welcomed, without contacting the agent about every property we like?
Sorry if I am disturbing you but it is important to us.
Kind Regards x

It may be harder as many complexes don’t allow pets but some do if they’re well behaved and smaller dogs ... I think you need to make that a condition of the search criteria when approaching an agent ....  good luck in your search

As Toon said, best to state this. Don't feel you are bothering the agent, it's important to know before buying the property. Some advertisements for property also state rules about pets, but it is best to have clarity.

One of the most important issues about buying a property in Cyprus is title deeds. Only buy somewhere with title deeds ready to be put into your name. A friend of mine has had issues with this.
Olive.

Thank you both for your help. It is appreciated x

Many properties here are advertised as deeds available this usually means the owner hasn’t got them or hasn’t applied for them so it’s an extra cost or you negotiate down to cover those costs and this might be upto €10k. Others are advertised as with title deeds so go with those unless you are happy to get a massive discount for not having deeds, and are prepared never to ever get them .....Also be aware many properties will never ever get deeds as the developer despite having sold the properties he may not have completed the works and until he does title deeds cannot be issued. Note that developers do a runner or have gone bust leaving those owners with an almost unsalable property.      This happens a lot here.. Many owners will never get their deeds.
