Questions, answered
Before we begin.
Why does the title deed matter so much?
Because a property can be sold subject to encumbrances the buyer never sees. The search is what surfaces them.
What is specific performance protection?
Depositing the contract at the Land Registry within the statutory period protects the buyer's right to compel transfer.
Can non-EU nationals buy property in Cyprus?
Yes, subject to Council of Ministers permission, which is routinely granted for a qualifying purchase.
