Conveyancing

Lawyers don’t do conveyancing. But they charge you CYP300+. There is a group of conveyancers in Paphos. In Paphos they can be found at the kafenio next to the Land Registry. The do work for the lawyers and the developers but not private clients. They charge CYP70 per transfer which they conduct at the Land Registry. They know the Land Registry staff very well and most things that would become problems for you and I are dealt with very effectively and pragmatically. It looks like a closed shop and I doubt whether the conveyancers or the Land Registry would allow any outsider to get involved.
Developers pay their Property Transfer Tax in cash so that they can get the Title Deeds in a few days issued locally. If payment is made by cheque then the processing is done in Nicosia where it takes about 3 months
