Property and Immigration Law

Property Law

Cyprus’ real estate sector has historically been a major pillar for the country’s economy. It is also a sector that attracts the interest of both local and international clients for a plethora of reasons. The favorable tax schemes, the reliable legal framework, the well-established business environment, and the living conditions are only a few that qualify the real estate sector as an attractive economic area.

In Cyprus, The Immovable Property Law (Cap.224) regulates all matters related to tenure, registration and valuation of immovable property following the principles of the Cyprus Land Registry, in which immovable property is defined, recognized and valued.

In practice, property law involves a varied and often highly complex set of activities centering on sales and acquisitions, title, land use, development, leasing, finance, joint ventures, restructuring and workouts, and litigation.

• Property due diligence;
• Land registry search;
