Frequently Asked Questions

  • Kleanthous & Platis is a law firm based in Nicosia, Cyprus, at 7 Florinis Street, Greg Tower. We advise local and international clients across litigation and arbitration, real estate and construction, corporate and commercial law, energy, personal injury, immigration, and trusts and succession. We work in English, Greek and Russian.

  • It is strongly recommended. A lawyer conducts due diligence at the Land Registry to check the seller’s title, mortgages and any unauthorised works, drafts and reviews the contract of sale, deposits it with the Department of Lands and Surveys to secure your rights, and handles the transfer of the title deed. This protects you before you pay a deposit or sign anything.

  • Yes. EU nationals can buy property in Cyprus without a permit. Non-EU nationals can also buy, but usually need approval from the Council of Ministers, which we obtain on your behalf. We regularly act for international buyers, including remote purchases completed by power of attorney.

  • You can call us on +357 22 680 330 or email office@kleanthousplatis.com. Our offices are at 7 Florinis Street, Greg Tower, 2nd Floor, Office 202, 1065 Nicosia, Cyprus. For urgent matters, contact Klitos Platis at klitos@kleanthousplatis.com. We aim to respond within one business day.

  • Fees depend on the matter. For standard property purchases and sales, we quote a fixed conveyancing fee before we start, so there are no surprises. For other work we agree the basis of our fees with you at the outset. Contact us with your details for a clear quote.

  • Yes, but it needs careful legal structuring. Many properties in Cyprus, including new builds, auction purchases and assignments of contractual rights, do not yet have a separate title deed. We protect buyers by depositing the contract at the Land Registry for specific performance and by reviewing the developer’s position. Always have the legal pack checked before you bid or sign.
