Buying Process

Buying Process Fees -

• Solicitor fees are approximately 1% + vat of the purchase price (a minimum fee is applicable)
• Solicitor will complete land searches and carry out full due diligence.
• Your Solicitor will complete a draft contract for approval by all parties which can be officially signed by a POA in the clients absence (POA to be signed whilst in Cyprus) POA cannot be used without written consent.
• Your Solicitor will obtain tax clearance on the property from the tax authorises.
• Once all documents are approved your Solicitor will complete at land registry by exchanging contracts.
• Solicitor can make application for separate Title Deed and drafting of a will.

Stamp Duty fees are based on the selling price stated on the agreement as follows -

The first €5,000: 0.00%
€5,001 – €170,000: 0.15%
More than €170,000: 0.20%

Example

Purchase Price €200,000

€5,000 at 0.00% = €0.00
€165,000 at 0.15% = €247.50
€30,000 at 0.20% = €60.00

Total = €307.50

Assignment Fees (Lodging the assignment agreement at land registry)

This is a set fee of 0.5% and is based on the highest price. For example if the vendor bought the property at 200,000 and the buyer is purchasing at 150,000 the 0.5% will be charged on the €200,000. This fee is normally charged to the buyer. If a title deed is available then the Assignment Fees do not apply as you will be completing via a direct transfer of title deeds.

The fees for the Title Deeds are as follows

Up to €85,000 @ 3%
The Next €85,000 @ 5%
Remaining contract figure @ 8%

If the Contract of Sale is in two names the property valued at € 155,400 in two names would be based on € 77,700 each and levied at the rate of 3% for each purchaser

Title Deed transfer fees are based on the value of the property applied by land registry at the time of transfer. Incentives can apply in accordance with Government directives – current resale 50% discount continues and new build – Zero fees.

Your Solicitor would charge approximately 500 Euros to handle the Title Deed Transfer.
