Real Estate Sales and Bad Publicity

We all know that the regional property market is refraining well and also it complies with the European open markets in a down fad. We, nevertheless, like Cyprus, have an additional issue, that of self-destruction. Yes, there are scoundrels all over the place (worldwide) banks which currently, throughout the challenging times, obtain more unreasonably hostile as well as demanding, the building amnesty which is intending to help alleviate the circumstance on titles, has been stopped at the House (no justification in all) after year, etc, etc.

Yet when people have problems in selling their property, there is no possibility missed not publishing negative records on Cyprus real estate market. All kinds of specialists surface area digging out E.U. regulations (which may or may not use) the lack of titles is blown out of all proportion (yet each year around 15.000 titles are provided) offering the impression to newcomers “not to buy”.

This situation has been especially obvious in Pafos, where there appears to be the hub of the reaction and because this district has the largest trouble in regards to sales. So the very same individuals, that, in their effort to apply stress, are damaging their very own market. So it is not strange that the Pafos potential purchasers are in their bulk requesting for titles as well as do not accept also a bank assurance (using a reimbursement of the cash paid if the titles are not released within a certain day), a situation which is not apparent in other areas.

If any type of purchaser follows our 10 Structure Commandments when buying, he is protected in numerous areas. Not comparable to a title obviously, however, it is 90% there. Should we then maintain fairly that all is well and act like nothing is taking place? Certainly not, however excessive surfacing of the issues postpones possible clients, lowering demand/ residential or commercial property values, and also positioning included distress on individuals with monetary troubles and with eager interest to the market.

Our Federal government is a great deal to blame in the whole scenario, considering that whereas the Lands Office has the capability to create around 15.000 titles p.a., it can not handle the backload of the 120.000 titles. Efforts to utilize more land surveyors (the major stumbling block in the title issue) have not been resolved, whereas the red tape procedures are not dealt with either, going by the structure amnesty propositions.

So what is the remedy? Yes keep grumbling, maintain writing as well as consulting with Governmental officers, yet considerable global publicity offering the impact “not to touch Cyprus real estate” is trouble considering that this backfires on the same individuals that they have a problem.

A Russian customer of ours in his email called for “no Pafos home since it has a titling trouble!!”. He gladly acquired a property in Limassol nevertheless !!

An included problem that has actually just recently appeared on purchasers is the scenario where one buyer buys from one more previous one without any title. We have a number of instances where the Lands Workplace, in order to allow the transfer of title, has to have evidence that the original purchaser paid or has protected a tax launch on Funding Gains. The concern is, if the original purchaser has not secured a tax launch, where is he to be found, and also if yes will he be prepared to pay?

Since the tax people (around the world) are bent on obtaining whatever they can, this could turn into a major issue, specifically if the previous purchaser did not bother to protect the launch (which he might be not liable for any tax obligation in any case). So in such instances, the final purchaser has a problem with taxes not paid by the previous proprietor. The circumstance will certainly need a great deal of understanding by the tax obligation authority and also we suggest a Governmental direction on the subject, to ensure that the title scenario does not get even worse.
