Be sure to verify the legality of the transaction, especially when dealing directly with owners, as property laws and regulations in Cyprus can be complex.
It is always wise when looking to buy property in Cyprus to do something on your own which is due diligence. Do your homework. Get the local Land Registry to verify the property's legal status. This includes checking that the property is free of debts, charges, or embargoes, and that the seller has the legal right to sell.
Find a property in Cyprus that meets your needs. This can be done through locally based Estate Agents or the best place to start is through a property listings portal.
