Six reasons buyers choose Cyprus

A Mediterranean way of life

Long, sun-filled seasons, a slower rhythm and a culture built around the table, the sea and the village square. Cyprus offers the Mediterranean as a daily reality rather than a holiday.

Within the European Union

Cyprus has been a member of the European Union since 2004 and uses the euro, which gives many buyers a familiar framework for banking, travel and residence.

English spoken, English-based law

English is widely spoken in business and everyday life, and the Cypriot legal system is rooted in English common law, so contracts and conveyancing feel recognisable to many international buyers.

Between three continents

Set at the meeting point of Europe, the Middle East and Africa, the island is served by international airports at Larnaca and Paphos, with Limassol's marina and port on the south coast.

Coast and village living

From Limassol's seafront and marina to Paphos and Larnaca, and up into the hill villages and vineyards of the Troodos foothills such as Omodos, the island offers very different ways to live within a short drive.

Healthcare and schooling

Cyprus has public and private healthcare and a choice of private international schools, an important consideration for families relocating to the island.

Before you buy

Appoint an independent lawyer in Cyprus who acts only for you, before you sign or pay anything. HomeHaus members have access to one of the country's leading law firms, in the same place as their property search.
Ask your lawyer to check title deeds, planning and building permits, and any charges on the property. The HomeHaus legal partner can carry out these checks for you.
Buyers from outside the EU generally need government permission to acquire property; your lawyer handles the application. The HomeHaus legal partner can manage this for you.
Budget for taxes and fees such as VAT on new builds or transfer fees on resales; your lawyer will confirm what applies to you.

Questions buyers ask

Can foreigners buy property in Cyprus?

Yes. EU citizens can generally buy on the same terms as Cypriots. Buyers from outside the EU can also buy, usually with permission from the authorities, which an independent lawyer applies for on your behalf. The HomeHaus legal partner can guide you through it.

Do I need a lawyer to buy in Cyprus?

We strongly recommend it. An independent lawyer checks the title, permits and contract, and protects your position throughout the purchase. Through HomeHaus, you have access to one of Cyprus's leading law firms, alongside property discovery and concierge services, all in one place.

Which areas of Cyprus are popular with international buyers?

Limassol, Paphos and Larnaca on the coast are the best known, while hill villages such as Omodos offer a quieter, vineyard setting. The right choice depends on your lifestyle and plans.

What taxes and fees should I expect?

Depending on the property, these can include VAT on new builds, transfer fees on resales, stamp duty and legal fees. Rates and reliefs change, so ask your lawyer to confirm what applies before you commit. The HomeHaus legal partner can confirm these for you.
