Property and Real Estate Law
Careful advice for property purchases, sales and leases in Cyprus. We help local and international clients understand the transaction, identify legal risks and progress towards completion with a clear view of their obligations.
Protecting your position before you commit
A property transaction involves more than agreeing a price. The available title, registered encumbrances, contractual terms and documentation can affect how a purchase or sale proceeds. We review the relevant material and explain the issues that require attention before you enter binding commitments.
Purchases, sales and contract negotiations
We advise buyers and sellers on residential and commercial transactions, including reservation arrangements, sale agreements, contractual protections and completion requirements. Our work includes drafting and negotiation, due diligence, title and encumbrance checks, and the relevant Land Registry procedures.
Leases, transfers and complex transactions
We prepare and review leases, advise on property transfers and address title-related matters. Where a transaction involves unusual ownership arrangements or outstanding legal issues, we assess the available options and coordinate the necessary legal steps with the parties and their advisers.
A practical route towards completion
We begin by understanding the property, your objectives and any deadlines. We then identify the documents required, outline the legal work and discuss fees before the engagement proceeds. As the matter develops, we explain outstanding issues and the steps needed for completion.
Frequently asked questions
When should I speak to a lawyer?
Preferably before signing a reservation or sale agreement or paying a deposit. Early advice gives you an opportunity to understand the terms and investigate relevant risks before committing.
What should I send for an initial discussion?
The property details, any draft agreement, available title or ownership documents and the proposed timetable are useful starting points. Send sensitive documents only through a channel agreed with our team.
Can you assist clients living outside Cyprus?
Yes. We advise local and international clients and explain which steps may be handled through authorised representation and which may require additional documents or attendance.
How much will the legal work cost?
Fees depend on the transaction and the work required. We assess the proposed matter and explain the fee scope and anticipated additional expenses. Taxes, registration charges and third-party costs are separate where applicable.
Discuss a property matter
Contact our Limassol office to arrange an initial discussion. Please avoid sending sensitive documents before agreeing a suitable channel with our team. An enquiry does not by itself establish a lawyer–client relationship.
