Cyprus, is the 3rd largest Mediterranean island - covering 9,251 square
kilometres, 240 km from west to east and 96 km from north to south - with a
population of approximately 700,000. Being at the cross-roads of three
continents - Europe, Asia and Africa - it has one of the oldest histories of the
world, dating back 9000 years. Its strategic position, its wealth in forests and
mineral deposits, as well as its skilled craftsmen, made it the prized
possession of the powers of the day. Cultural influences came from all
directions - all major regional civilizations left their mark on the island,
contributing to the development of a very rich and diverse cultural heritage.
Communications - Cyprus is served by
approximately 30 major airlines, linking it to the four corners of the world
through its international airports at Larnaca and Paphos. Driving is on the left
in Cyprus and distances between towns are relatively short, covered by a good
network of modern roads. Cyprus telecommunications are among the best in the
world - an important factor in establishing the island as an offshore business
centre. Government - Cyprus is an independent sovereign republic with a
presidential system of government. Its fully democratic system retains the
respect of individual rights and encourages private initiative. Cost of Living - The relatively low cost of living in Cyprus has an added
appeal for the potential buyer, offering a full, but comparatively inexpensive
lifestyle. Crime Rate - Cyprus enjoys a remarkably low crime rate,1/6 of the
European average. Banking - Banking practice, the range of services offered and the methods
of management and control closely follow the British pattern. Education - There are both junior and secondary schools of a high
standard catering for English, French and Italian speaking pupils. Language - Greek is the mother tongue of the Republic, however English is
readily spoken and understood almost everywhere. Pets - Cats and dogs are permitted to be brought into Cyprus provided a
licence has been obtained in advance.
Cyprus Major Cities
Nicosia (around 200,000 population) -
Nicosia lies at the centre of Cyprus, no more than one and a half hours from any
mountain or coastal resort. As the administrative centre and the seat of
Government, the city is dotted with the various ministries and diplomatic
missions. Limassol (around 160,000 population) - Limassol, on the south coast of
Cyprus, is the country's second largest city. It lies between the sites of two
important historic city kingdoms that dominated the island in antiquity: Amathus
to the east and Curium a few miles to the west. Larnaca (around 70,000 population) - The graceful row of majestic palms
lining Larnaca’s seafront are a reminder of the 17th century, when Larnaca was
the diplomatic and trading capital of Cyprus. Paphos / Pafos (around 45,000 population) - The mild, healthy climate and
beautiful countryside surrounding this south-western coastal town have attracted
visitors to Paphos throughout history. Legend has it that the Goddess Aphrodite
was born in its warm, translucent waters.
Buying property in Cyprus - Compared to many
countries, the logistics of property purchase in Cyprus by foreigners are
relatively simple & easy. Title Deed - Transfer of ownership from vendor to purchaser is
accomplished by a simple procedure through the Cyprus Land Registry Office,
either by the buyer in person or by appointed third party with a Power of
Attorney. Transfer fees - Upon transfer of the property and registration in the
purchaser’s name, the District Land Registry Office will charge Transfer Fees,
which are based on the market value of the property at the time of purchase, and
are calculated as follows:
Value up to €85.000 : 3% / €85.001- €170.000 : 5% / more than €170.001 : 8% Immovable property & service tax - The annual immovable property
ownership tax imposed by the government is approximately €100-200 per year,
depending on the value of the property. Capital gains tax - Property sales in Cyprus are subject to Capital Gains
Tax at the rate of 20% on the gain, however the first €17,000 are tax-exempt.
Inheritance Tax - Inheritance tax is not imposed. Legal safeguards for foreign investors - Contrary to the risks inherent
in the purchase of property in some countries, Cyprus has never been involved in
the nationalization of any sector of the economy, nor in the expropriation of
property owned by foreigners. Tax privileges - Personal effects, household goods, furniture & cars can
be imported duty free by immigrant retirees. Financing Facilities - C4P offers various long term payment schemes to
assist its purchasers. In addition C4P may assist you to obtain from a
Commercial Bank in Cyprus a housing loan at favourable conditions.
