I want to buy a property in Limassol? What do I do?
Follow these steps:
- Set a budget and shortlist areas.
- Ask our advisor for current listings and arrange viewings.
- Submit a written offer; we negotiate terms and timing.
- Appoint an independent lawyer to run legal checks.
- Pay a holding deposit and sign a reservation or preliminary agreement.
- Sign the sale contract, pay the agreed stage payment, and settle stamp duty. The contract must be stamped before filing at the Land Registry.
- Your lawyer files the stamped contract at the Land Registry to secure your rights until transfer.
- Non-EU buyers apply for an acquisition permit through the District Administration (often still called “Council of Ministers” approval).
On completion, pay any balance and transfer the title at the Land Registry (or take delivery per contract terms for properties without separate title yet).
