North Real Estate Secrets
As a general rule, electricity can be brought to any place in Cyprus provided one is prepared to pay for it. Be careful, however, with the general belief that if there is an electricity line close to the property the cost of providing electricity will not be much. This is not true at all and it is best to examine the approximate electricity provision cost with the EAC District Officer.Telephone lines are a problem for out of built-up areas. If one is needed at your “spot”, examine this possibility with the CYTA District Officer.
Another factor which is also related to the price, is the payment terms. A developer could be asking a high price for flats but he could be offering very attractive payment terms over a long period. Compare, therefore, not only the extent, quality etc. of a flat, but also the payment terms in order to ascertain who is offering you the best deal.
Upon the issue of the covering permit or, if this is not required, an application must be made to the Appropriate Authority for the issue of a certificate of final approval.When this is issued, it will have to be deposited at the District Lands’ Office so that the registration of the building on the title deed of the land is effected.
If you buy property but the property is not transferred in your name immediately, you are urged to deposit your contract with the District Lands’ Office within two months from signing. If you do not deposit your contract and the seller changes his mind about the sale, then, your only remedy for the breach is damages, whereas if you deposit your contract you can seek (through the Courts) specific performance (i.e. the transfer of the property in your name). The depositing of the contract operates also as a charge on the property.
