Cyprus Property Lawyers – Review – TRNC Property Court Case

The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus government was taken to court for their neglect of implementing proper building laws by a lady who has purchased property on the Northern side.

So it appears a development was built without being given official building permission by the government and the purchaser has taken the Turkish Cypriot Government to court over this along with the landowner.

The outcome of the case was ruled in favour of the purchaser which is a first of its kind and both the land owner and the Turkish Cypriot Ministry of Interior were found guilty of allowing building of a project to proceed without proper procedures being put in place.

This is why so many purchasers are in so much trouble right now as the building laws are not being followed and the governments sit back and relax. Well we are pleased for the purchaser who currently resides on the Turkish Republic Northern Cyprus and we are happy of the outcome.

Why should the purchasers always be the one to suffer it is about time this kind of justice was served to those who feel the law is of no consequence to them and that includes government officials and departments also?

Why should those who innocently and in good faith put all their life savings in to such an investment and be left with nothing but headache and continuous nightmares because certain people around the whole of the Cyprus Island think the law does not apply to them.

There will be many more of these cases come forward we are sure of that so for such building that has gone ahead on both sides of the island not just on the Northern side their time in court maybe closer now then they thought possible!

Congratulations to the lady who stood her ground we praise you.

For all those who have similar issues on both sides of the island or for any property issues our expert property law department are waiting for your call.

Cyprus Property Lawyers – Review – Transfer fees legislation

So it is official the government have approved a temporary measure regarding Cyprus property transfer fees.

For a 6 month period only from the 2^nd December first time buyers only will benefit from this measure in that if they pay VAT they will pay no transfer fees and if they do pay VAT they will only pay 50% transfer fees.

The issue will be addressed at the end of the 6 month period to see if a more permanent measure will be put in place.  This measure will definitely help the Cyprus property market and any new comers to the Cyprus property ladder but still does not help existing property owners.

It is thought that many people will now withdraw current contract deposited at the land registration in order to redeposit them to take advantage of this measure however, certain prodedures have been put in place so this is not possible!

The new legislation as we said will only apply to first time buyers and only for properties brought within the 6 month period.

We do applaud the efforts the government are making to help the Cyprus property market start moving once again and we hope these efforts are rewarded and new investors will come and take advantage of this.

It is not a measure that will solve existing issues that many property owners have but it will show good faith on the governments part for new investors and show we are trying our very best to fix the Cyprus legal system with regards to property.

For any property or title deed queries or assistance contact us directly where an expert mebre of staff is always at your service.  We would also like to hear our readers opinions on this issue.

Legal Consultants in Cyprus – review – Cyprus Government New IT System

New technology costing in the region of twelve million Euros is being implemented in governmental offices across Cyprus to speed up public procedures.

The new technology which will be implemented in land Registration Offices and Town and planning offices across the nation will speed up procedures for applications such as planning permits and help provide the public with property information.

It will take a period of 3 years to introduce and fully operate all programmes throughout the island but is thought the end result will give speedier and more efficient results to the departments and the public.

The public will be able to visit an on line site providing them with relevant property information and the ability to make certain applications on line.

Efficiency, paperwork and communication have always been a problem within and between the departments and this new system is here to replace such problems.

So many years late and at a cost of twelve million this new system will cut down costs, increase production and offer top level organization…better late than never is all we can say! There will now be no excuse for lost paperwork or waiting on other departments for such information or procedures.

This is part of the efforts from the government to help investor’s confidence be regained towards the Cyprus property market.  And we do applaud such efforts by Minister Sylikiotis.  The Interior Ministers really has pulled out all the stops with regards to the property issues in Cyprus and we do hope all his efforts will be rewarded and will bring back the investors to Cyprus.

Paralimni Property Lawyers – Review – Poll Results

Top of the props world investment destination poll has once again come around and it is drastic news for Cyprus.

Not so long ago we were joint 8^th place with Turkey now we have dropped several places to number 14 and Turkey has risen 1 place to number 7.

Spain has beaten them all and claimed first place with Portugal running second.  Morocco has risen many places with sudden interest climbing a whooping 9 places coming in at number 10 and the UAE not far behind also climbing a whooping 8 places at number 12.

Well what can we say Cyprus is no longer a favourite and Morocco and the UAE are gaining investors interest at a very fast pace.

There are many factors that Cyprus must address to once again bring the investors back to the island.  Property procedures and laws being a main factor as it is quite apparent this is an area we just haven’t got right.

Business investment and tourism are thriving with little but some room for improvement however, the property industry is in dire need of a revamp and after so much bad publicity Cyprus has received it will take major reform, education and organised implementation to bring them back.

Spain received as much bad publicity as Cyprus if not more but yet they have managed to climb to first place for investor’s interest and if Spain can do it we too can do the same.

Tell us your thoughts on how you feel we can greatly improve the property industry.

Lawyers in Cyprus – Review – Title deed Reform

It’s the thought that counts so they say and when Mr Sylikotis introduced the new Cyprus title deed reform he thought it would work but apparently implementation of his efforts have not worked so far.

Reports show that title deed applications are at an all time high and transfers are not being dealt with as we were promised they would be.

It started out before the title issue was addressed that there were thirty thousand applications outstanding. Then outrage took over and the government were forced to address the issue and immediately bring in new procedures.

However, now reports show there are over forty thousand title deed applications pending…this was not the plan at all.

Not only was the reform rushed through to help combat media and public outbursts but also to help the struggling economy and neither of them has been resolved but worsened unfortunately.

We do not believe this is down to lack of effort but maybe due to lack of organization relating to education, implementation and governmental departments.

To make matters worse many of these title applications are to international buyers, which only feeds fuel to the fire where the media is concerned. It has been reported that over fifty thousand properties have been sold to international buyers yet only 20% of these applications have been processed.  These are not good figures to present to the media in trying to restore investor’s confidence.

We thought the property market would improve but it has not helped in the slightest as potential buyers now want properties with title deeds.  So for those forty thousand wanting to resell they may have a good while to wait unless the government get their house in order quick time.

If you need assistance with your title deed contact our title deed department who deal solely with title deed applications and any title deed issues you may have.

Lawyers inCyprus- Review -CyprusProperty Market and Title Deed Issue

The Cyprus Property News a leadingCyprusproperty magazine recently under took a survey to its readers asking their opinion on what they believe would help revive the Cyprus islands property market.

The magazine reported 1042 people completed the survey and 52% believed that instant title deeds would greatly improve the market and we have to agree with them.  We would not be in the mess we are in if this issue had been dealt with many years before and the fact that some people have waited a couple of decades to get their deeds is just beyond comprehension!

Also mentioned in the Cyprus Property News article is the fact that some countries grant instant Title Deeds on delivery of the property so this is a possibility and one thatCyprusshould definitely consider.

The Title deed issue was most definitely the starting factor in the countries declining property market slump obviously along with the world’s financial recession. So in affect the Title Deed issue must be the main playing factor in bringing the market back…it is common sense!

Only 4% voted for decreased bank interest rates and only 14% voted for economic recovery so these figures say it all.  Fix the title deed issue and we are half way there.

The reform has helped as such but it was not organized and publicised effectively and even now procedures are being added on a temporary basis it is not good enough.

The international public especially need to feel safe and secure and quite frankly it has been a shambles up until now, not that the government haven’t tried to do their best but we feel under public scrutinisation and media pressure the implementation of the reform was not adequate. The legal documents may be in place but the practicalities are not!

Lets hope the government can get it right soon…

Lawyers in Cyprus – Review – Investor Protection

We are the first to say Cyprus has had many problems with regards to the property market and owners property issues. And this has been a wakeup call to every individual within the property industry from the estate agent, the developer, the banks and the lawyers and not forgetting the government.

However, it has also put all of the above in their place and for anyone to take a step out of place now would be suicide for them personally.

Lawyers now have a bigger part to play we strongly believe in the property industry than ever before.  We are the key to making sure nothing can go wrong with any future property sales.  And we therefore must strategically plan and make changes to further protect the buyer.  Lawyers must look back and learn and always be one step ahead of all involved in a property sale.

It is not good enough to make sure the signing of a contract is in order, or after signing runs as should it is before any agreements are made that make all the difference.

The lawyers have an obligation not just to make sure the sale runs smoothly but to make sure before you buy, the investment is secure and free from any unforeseeable financial issues that we have recently encountered and reported in the newspapers.

The lawyer must thoroughly research the developers’ circumstances and the potential investment and if your lawyer is not doing this for you then you have chosen the wrong lawyer.

We at A&G Kouzali are one step ahead and we will not wait for anyone to take a step out of place we will not give them the chance in the first place.

Lawyers in Famagusta – review – Smoking deterrents

Governments are trying to find ways to stop people from smoking.  This we find very hypocritical when they should not have been allowed in the first place and the government use tobacco to make a lot of money in taxes which is why they have not been banned from the shops as yet.

Tobacco is very addictive and this is a known fact for many years yet the tobacco has been on continuous sale and now that millions of people are addicted to smoking they want to find ways of eventually banning smoking this is suicide.

In the UK new laws are being brought in to the effect that cigarettes must not be on show for sale yet kept under the counters out of sight. And in some European countries they are trying to stop the packaging of cigarettes being so attractive and are discussing having all cigarettes being packaged in the same way.

This of course has not gone down too well with the different tobacco companies who have copyrights and laws protecting their products so there will be a big legal fight before this ever happens we are very sure of that.

Keeping cigarettes under the table and changing packaging is not going to help combat no smoking it is too late for that tobacco companies and the governments have seen to this.

At the same time alcohol is just as dangerous so why is this not being taken off the shelves and packaged all the same?  Maybe having free and more accessibility to products that help you stop smoking would be a more beneficial.

Tell us your thoughts on the smoking issue and what you think would help the masses quit.

Property lawyers in Cyprus – review – USA Major Investor

We have an angel in our mist so it appears as reports are that the Cyprus president has met with a big investor of USA nationality who wants to investment major funds into our island.

The details are being kept very hush hush until the investor himself is ready to reveal his identity and details of exactly what kind of investment he is planning to create.

The meeting took place on the 28^th December 2011 with the President, the investor and the Finance Minister so it looks like this could be a very big deal for us!

There are reports of hotels and casinos being built but we will have to wait and see like everyone else. There are also reports that other wealthy international investors are looking to invest in our island which is very good news and very much welcomed.

As long as we preserve the important parts of the Cyprus heritage and culture there is no reason why we ca not make our island the new Dubai.  As sad as it is not everyone wants a cultural holiday they want new and they want modern and they want chic at affordable prices and we have the means and the interest from investors to offer that if the government allow this!

Many people have given up on the Cyprus Island which we feel is a very grave mistake. We have said and we stand by our words that 2012-2013 are going to be the years that the world will see Cyprus come back to life with full force and those who invest now we strongly believe will reap all the rewards.

We are very excited to hear hear more on this secret investor and what is in store for the island of Cyprus.

Lawyers in Paralimni – Review – Russian Flights to Cyprus

In a bid to further increase visitors from Russia efforts are underway to boost further arrivals from Russia. This includes the main airlines introducing new flights from other Russian cities other than the existing routes already in operation.

Aeroflot which is Russia’s main state owned carrier currently flies from Moscow to Larnaca and Transaero privately owned carrier currently flies from St. Petersburg to Paphos.  The outcome wanted from current discussions is to expand both carriers operations to fly from other Russian cities to both Cyprus airports in order to enhance further arrivals to Cyprus.

This would help both Russia and Cyprus with regards to holiday and tourism revenue.  The Russian market has hugely boosted Cyprus tourism, property and business revenue and any efforts to further increase this can only be seen as a positive step.

Both Cyprus airports operated by Hermes Airports in cooperation with the government are increasing incentives to bring in more airlines to Cyprus and their efforts appear to be paying off with many airlines showing such interest in flying here.

The airports are a first step in boosting tourism.  If flights are too expensive we will not get the airlines or the passengers thus, the rest is self explanatory.  This is a good step taken by Hermes Airports and the government which should now be followed by the rest of the tourism industry in enticing further tourism.  Regulating everyday products in tourist areas is just one example.

Any decisions are yet to be announced but we do believe summer 2012 will be an even better season for Cyprus and we will most certainly see more arrivals from countries such as Russia, Germany and the UK we feel.

Property Lawyers in Cyprus – Review – Rise In Property Claims

The recent decision by the European Court of Human Rights to grant millions in damages from the Turkish government to 13 applicants claiming rights to their property in the Turkish Republic Northern Cyprus has shocked many, and also made many think twice about what they are doing to claim their rights to their property.

But, it is not just the Greek Cypriots wanting to claim their rights, Turkish Cypriots are also standing up and seeking their rights to property on the Republic of Cyprus. Specializing in such cases we have noticed the rise in queries regarding both properties on the Turkish Republic Northern Cyprus and on the Republic of Cyprus.

The ECHR will no longer hear cases for claims to property on the Turkish Republic Northern Cyprus. The ECHR will only hear cases when all other options are exhausted.  All applications must be made to the Immovable Property Commission which is now legally recognized by the ECHR to legally and fairly deal with any property issues.  And of course the courts in the Republic of Cyprus hear the cases for claims to property in the Republic of Cyprus.

Our specialized members of staff are now dealing with many new applications in both courts from both Greek and Turkish Cypriots. Individuals are not happy to sit it out and wait for the peace talks to end. Both communities want what they feel is legally theirs and they want it now.  And rightly so!

Once you have provided us with the relevant information and required documents we will immediately go ahead and put your case forward.  If you do not have the relevant documents we can help you to obtain these.

No matter where your property/land is situated or if you are Greek or Turkish Cypriot or even if you are resident or no longer resident in Cyprus, we strongly believe in one community and fairness for all …we are here to assist the people of all of Cyprus.

Immigration Lawyers in Cyprus – review – Cyprus Residency Laws – Completed 5^th February 2012.

Residency in Cyprus is becoming a very much talked about subject in Cyprus for the simple fact that there are many very affluent individuals who would like to reside in Cyprus but are a little off the mark when it comes to the strict criteria for residency.

The government has pledged to speed up the process for those who pass the criteria and we reiterate this should have been the case all along.  Prolonging such applications prevents investment revenue and potential business revenue.

Why should such an affluent individual be kept waiting when they have the money to invest in any country of their choosing they actually do not need us we need them.

The issue now is the criteria this is where we need the government to really sit down and take a good look before we truly miss the boat to the rich and wealthy. The age for example should not be an issue if a person is sitting on hundreds of thousands of pounds!

With the growing ties between countries such as Israel and the Middle East we have to adjust to accommodate such affluent nations.

Permanent residence is vastly more complicated for Non – EU citizens in that the individual or family must invest funds into Cyprus.  Through buying property and opening a company and depositing a certain amount of funds in the company this will help the application. It must be deemed that a person can support themselves and their family without having to use any state money.

And for those who can quire easily do this or maybe a little off the mark should be given complete priority in helping the Cyprus Economy.

Property Lawyers in Cyprus – Review – Qatar/Cyprus Nicosia Project

The Nicosia – Qatar deal has been very much talked about in the public media as to whether it is to go ahead or not go ahead.

First there were problems with financial issues and the price of the land and the amount that Qatar were prepared to match with the Cyprus governments’ valuation.  Then we heard rumours that Qatar was not happy with the slow pace that Cyprus works at. Then there were issues of the army camp being situated on the land where construction is due to begin.

There have been many issues, rumours and stories published but it appears that the deal for the luxury new development is definitely under way.  The army camp that was said to have delayed construction has now ceased to operate and the go ahead for it to be demolished has been given.

So construction should very well start soon enough putting paid to all rumours’ and stories and showing the public the deal is cemented and 100% going ahead.

This deal was so important to Cyprus and for it not to go ahead would have been very damaging in relation to other rich countries investing in our island.  If the Qatar deal fell through this would give other countries room for doubt when looking at countries to invest and also Qatar are looking to invest in other projects in Cyprus which could not afford to be jeopardised.

Not only this, the new project is hoping to bring millions in revenue which would definitely make a difference to the Cyprus economy.  So there is a lot riding on this deal and we are very happy to welcome the new development and Qatar as an investment partner.

Tell us your thoughts on this issue we would like to hear from you.

Property Lawyers inCyprus- Review -CyprusProperty Market – Completed on 10th December 2011.

We wanted to bring nothing but good news for the festive month of December but it is not possible regarding theCyprusproperty markets as they are looking gloomier than ever.

Sales figures show that November has seen the biggest drop in a continuous property market slump which has been declining now for well over a year and to make matters even worseNicosiawho has really stayed a running favourite along with Limassol has seen the biggest drop of all. That for starters is not good news.

2 years ago the market collapsed and the recent figures are lower than this particular period so we can safely say we are in trouble!

The bad publicityCyprushas received was the first bomb to hit the ship and the fact that it is virtually impossible to get a mortgage here now is another blow to the already sinking ship.  The government have no choice but to implement further procedures in favour of the investor before we completely go under and time is of the essence.

The government and the banks must act quickly in order to salvage the property market and property prices will still have to be reduced even further to allow investors to buy. Despite this, the cost of living on the island now and the lack of employment and threat of taxation to businesses is another turn off to investors.

It is ok offering loans and reduced house prices but if people can not afford to live here what is the point in buying here?

Paralimni Property Lawyers – Review – Cyprus Property Market – Completed 2^nd January 2011.

Official figures for 2011 property sales are absolutely abysmal we must sadly report. In fact abysmal is quite an understatement as we have not seen such low figures since the year 2000 before the boom

Many factors have led to this and we must now find ways to move forward and recuperate our property market.  We have managed to get the tourism market back on track and the business sector is very much in demand so now we must put all our efforts into the property industry, which is obviously an area the government are just not getting right.

In the final month of 2011 Famagusta was hit the worst with figures falling by three quarters compared to the same time last year followed by Paphos, Limassol, Nicosia and Larnaca beating them all so to speak with sales down a third on last year.

Not very good news for us on the East Coast with only 8 properties sold for the whole month of December…this issue we must now pull together and seriously address.

While figures were looking brighter earlier in the year on a whole for 2011comapred to 2010 contracts deposited at the land registry office were down by little under 20% …wow!

That is it folks that was 2011 for the Cyprus property market. We do hope with the new policies the government are bringing in for the reduction of VAT and transfer fees will help and we hope they have lots more up their sleeve to pull us through this crisis.

We feel all officials working within the property industry must put their brains together and come up with ideas and you the public must also put your ideas forward on how you think the property market could be helped. The government actually do need our help with this area that is for sure.

For all your property queries, issues or problems contact our expert property department today we look forward to hearing from you.

Legal Consultants in Cyprus – Review – Cyprus airways at paphos airport

Unfortunate news for Paphos with Cyprus Airways pulling out of the airport altogether no flights incoming or outgoing!  They will still operate at Larnaca airport as normal but Paphos is off the books.

Also with no Ryanair deal in place as yet this is really not a good time for Paphos tourism. Any Ryanair deals are not off the table as yet there is still hope and it would be very beneficial to entice this carrier to operate at airport as this will bring in high tourist numbers on a major scale.

Of course new flight carriers will be sought and the tables will open to hear any potentials deals from airlines but as it stands the shock of Cyprus Airways pulling out is still being felt.

Ways of enticing more flights with existing carriers will be address along with ways of upgrading and developing tourist’s attractions for the existing tourists markets that visit the area.

Paphos has had a very bad time lately and deserves some good luck we feel.  The property market has greatly suffered, the tourist market has decreased and many businesses have packed up and left.  Yet Paphos is such a beautiful area of Cyprus and has so much to offer.

Paphos is still very much in the race for Culture Capital 2012 and has a very good chance of winning it is no consolation short term but big things may be happening for Paphos in the long term we have strong beliefs on this.

Lawyers in Cyprus – Review – Karayiannas V O’Dwyer case – Completed on 27^th December 2011

The O’Dwyer V Karayiannas Developers case continues with Mr O’Dwyer now being granted legal aid to continue his fight against the Cyprus developers.  This is a first for Cyprus to be granted legal aid in a civil case.

O’Dwyers case has been ongoing for many years and has also been made a very public affair with O’Dwyer setting up a website, appearing on TV, staging protests in the UK and also here in Cyprus.

The case started with Mr O’Dwyer claiming he had brought a house from the developers and the house was then sold again to somebody else.  Issues then escalated and Mr O’Dwyer claimed to have been attacked outside the said property which is situated in Freneros of which the developer was again taken to court and charged with assault.

After all the court cases and legal fees Mr O’Dwyer has no savings left and applied for and was granted legal aid by the Famagusta court to carry on civil proceedings.

Legal aid is usually granted in criminal cases and human rights cases not in such civil cases so this is definitely new to the Cyprus legal system which could lead to many more homeowners in Cyprus claiming for legal aid against property developers.

The legal aid will not only pay for lawyers and court fees but will also pay for accommodation and travelling costs from the UK.  If the legal aid had not been granted all these years of fighting his case could have amounted to nothing.

So the case continues and the outcome patiently awaited.

Tell us your thoughts on this issue we welcome your opinion.

Paralimni Property Lawyers – Review – Cyprus Capital Development – Completed on 5^th February 2012.

Cyprus will soon be the lucky recipient of a magnificent Cultural and Arts centre. We are currently the only country in the EU not to have one.  However, tenders are now open for this huge project to be constructed in the centre of Nicosia.

The construction of the centre will cost little under one hundred million Euros and is hoped will influence many visitors to the island along with strengthen ties between the Middle Eastern countries.

The centre itself will consist of numerous performance halls and a main theatre seating approximately fourteen hundred people.  There will be a smaller music hall for entertainment and rehearsals seating approximately four hundred people along with other types of classes and a library and a dining venue and shops.

Construction is expected to start in the third quarter of 2012 and it is hoped the project will be finalized within 3 years.

This is another great development for Nicosia who will also benefit from another major development funded by the Cyprus and Qatar government offering a vast conference centre and leisure facilities along with residential and commercial investment.

It is good to see such development going ahead and being processed at a speedy pace this is exactly what we need on our island.

The Cultural and Arts centre will bring worldwide entertainment, music and dance to the centre of Cyprus and many worldwide and ethnic visitors to Cyprus.

Congratulations let’s hope we have much more such developments to come!

Legal Firm in Cyprus – Review – Cyprus marinas – Completed on 23^rd December 2011

The Limassol Marina is in front of schedule and will be operational by the fall of 2012 being able to accommodate boating vessels and fully completed in 2014. Work started in 2010 and the progress made is exceptional.

The Marina has been devised to birth 650 boating vessels from small vessels to super yachts. There will be 274 residential properties of which 188 will be luxury apartments and penthouses the other 86 will be luxury villas.

The marina will also comprise Cypriot tavern’s along with other international dining venues and bars. There will also be boutiques and designer shops and state of the art leisure facilities. The marina will offer 24 hour security, wireless internet, fresh water and a boating repair service.

While Limassol is bathing in such positive and progressive news other coastal towns expecting new marinas are not so lucky. The Paphos marina project is still in tender stages with companies battling it out. The Agia Napa marina is very quiet at the moment yet construction did start on this project but is now on hold. And the Larnaca marina is reportedly still going ahead as planned.

It is very important these marinas get going and completed to bring in the clientele that marina life attract.  Marinas are all year round attractions and our island must have these developments available.

It has been reported that due to the countries declining deficit many planned projects will not go ahead for the time being  this is discouraging news and we do hope our islands luck turns around in 2012 we still have faith and believe we will pull through with flying colours.
