What is Property Law?
Property law, also known as real estate law, encompasses the rules and regulations governing the ownership and usage of immovable property, including both real property (like land and buildings affixed to it) and personal property (movable objects owned by a person). This branch of law covers a wide range of legal aspects, such as the buying, selling, renting, and leasing of property, as well as the establishment of property rights, easements, and land use regulations.
Contract law plays a crucial role in property transactions, providing legal protection to parties involved in property agreements. Should these contracts be breached, Tort law allows affected parties to seek compensation for any losses incurred. Property law also delves into complex issues like zoning, mortgages, and property taxes, ensuring orderly and fair transactions and use of property within society.

What are the legal steps involved in buying property in Cyprus?
Buying property in Cyprus includes selecting a property, conducting due diligence, signing a sales agreement, and securing approval from the Council of Ministers if required (for non-EU buyers). Finally, the title deeds are transferred, and the property is registered in the new owner’s name at the Land Registry.
Can foreign nationals purchase real estate in Cyprus?
Yes, foreign nationals can purchase real estate in Cyprus. EU citizens face no restrictions, while non-EU citizens are allowed to buy up to two properties (a house/apartment and a plot of land/building) subject to certain conditions and approval from the Council of Ministers.
How can I resolve a real estate dispute in Cyprus?
Real estate disputes in Cyprus can be resolved through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration as first steps. If these are unsuccessful, litigation in a Cypriot court is the next recourse. Agathokleous-Neophytou expert lawyers in Limassol can advise you on the best approach for your specific situation.
How does the title deed system work in Cyprus?
The title deed system in Cyprus ensures clear ownership of property. After purchasing property, the transfer of the title deed from seller to buyer is completed at the Land Registry Office, legally confirming the buyer as the new owner. This process is crucial for the legal protection of the property owner.
Are there any specific regulations for leasing property in Cyprus?
Yes, leasing property in Cyprus is governed by specific regulations, including the need for a written rental agreement, adherence to rent control laws for certain properties, and obligations of both landlords and tenants under the Tenancy Law. Regulations aim to protect the rights of both parties in a tenancy agreement.
How is property inheritance handled under Cypriot law?
Property inheritance in Cyprus follows the provisions of the Wills and Succession Law, allowing individuals to distribute their estate through a will. If there is no will, the estate is divided among the closest relatives according to the law of succession. EU citizens residing in Cyprus can opt for the inheritance law of their home country to apply. For more information, contact our law office in Limassol today!
