You truly can hope for your dreams to come true when buying your home in Cyprus, in fact it is a truth that buy sell cyprus is the buzz phrase all over the island.

Cyprus is a very rich country in natural resources down to its perfect location and excellent all year round climate.

This is boosted up with the nearly 3 million European tourists that visit Cyprus every year.

Two differences that you should be aware of are that as a non-resident of the island it is only permitted for you to own one piece of property on Cyprus (although there is a possibility of this changing in the future) and that when buying new Cypriot property, it is quite likely that the title deeds will not be received for up to five years after completion. Importantly this does not prevent sale of the property before the documents are received, in fact some people already sell on their properties before construction is complete.
