Cyprus Private Property

Reliability: Be very careful to whom you are giving your money. A developer's past performance is the best form of guarantee but if you are afraid that the block will not be completed (and it is not the first time such a thing happened) ask for a bank guarantee. It is most important for you to deposit the sales contract with the Lands' Office within two months of the purchase, so that you will have some form of a right to claim and/or seek specific performance if something goes wrong.
Development of land into villas in estates is now very common in the Paphos area, mainly on the hills between Paphos and Polis. Projects are developed to take the form of villages with the individual villas designed in traditional architecture. There are, of course, cases where the purchaser may have a good say in the design of his villa. The same type of projects are now being carried out in Limassol and to a lesser extent in the Larnaca area.
Such treaties combined with very favourable tax rates for international business entities in Cyprus open the doors to significant tax planning opportunities. The fact that Cyprus is not considered a tax haven but rather a country offering tempting tax incentives expels the distrust that international tax havens often arouse.
To date, double tax haven treaties exist between Cyprus and the following countries: Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Kuwait, Malta, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden, Syria, United Kingdom, South Africa, United States and Yugoslavia.
Prices are usually quoted as pounds per sq. metre. It is important, however, to ascertain the square metres of which area you are paying for. Certain developers include part of the common areas (staircases, lifts etc) while others include the verandahs and so on. If therefore, you are shopping around for the right price, make sure that you are comparing the same area.
