Why The Republic of Cyprus
-
The European Legal Framework
Transactions are conducted within an EU member state and in euros; the title is registered through the Department of Lands and Surveys.
-
Investment and Migration Strategy
Certain new properties may meet the requirements for permanent residence.
-
Different Lease Models
Long-term urban housing, seasonal tourist accommodations, serviced residences.
-
Cadastral Protection
If a separate title deed exists, the right to a specific property is registered.
Ownership models
-
Completed property with a title deed
A registered right to a specific unit. The owner, property registry, and any mortgages are verified.
-
Completed property without title
Contractual rights prior to the establishment of individual title.
-
Off-plan
Protection depends on the contract, its filing, and the permits
-
Hotel/Service Unit
It may be a share, a rental pool, or a contractual right to income.

Taxes and Expenses
| Tax | Rate | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| VAT on the Purchase of a New Property | up to 19% | The preferential rate of 5% applies only to a primary residence |
| Transfer fees | on a scale | No fees are charged if VAT has been paid |
| Stamp duty | based on the contract price | The amount is verified as of the date of signing |
| Sale | Possible capital gains tax | Calculated based on the tax base and deductions |
The €250,000 Commercial entry does not mean that the investment meets the threshold for permanent residency (€300,000). Purchasing real estate does not grant citizenship.
How We Help
The full cycle—from candidate selection to closing the deal.
-
Property Selection
We compare the purpose of the purchase, budget, location, title status, and liquidity.
-
Legal and Technical Review
We coordinate with an independent Cypriot attorney to verify the title deed, encumbrances, and permits.
-
Transaction Support
We coordinate banking compliance, escrow, title transfer, and property transfer.
-
Post-Purchase Support
We assist with management, leasing, tax compliance, and immigration services
A 5–7% return is not guaranteed. A contract without a separate title deed does not constitute a registered property right.
