    What we are up against.....

    There is simply too many people employed by the government and too many levels of beaurocracy to plough through for the most simple of issues. However most people were aware of that before they came over. The quite open backhanders that happened have all but dried up, but at least here those...

    Global Property Resolutions

    The deposit will belong to the administrator so I cant see them squeezing it back. They'll probably just create a discount against a similar overpriced project to make it look like a deposit has been paid, but keep €3000 of your spondoolies.

    €1 billion marina project set to boost Cyprus property market

    Nightmare, the marina is still a long way off, there is still much leal squabblings to work through, accusation and counters etc etc etc the usual. The works you may have seen on the road at Potima bay have nothing to do with the Marina. The road was so poorly constructed that they had to...

    Advise needed

    Clacher, there has been a great deal of sense spoken so far. One thing you must try to do is divorce the emotion from the current financial predicament. Act purely on financial reasoning. You can have a dozen different agents market the property for you, so appoint as many as will take it on...

    DAMN TITLE DEEDS! - any answers???

    This situation is not going to go away and the sooner the Cyprus government realise it the better. In my humble opinion, a slump/recession like we are currently in is the best time to make reparations and lay the foundations and guidelines for the future.

    St georges hills coral bay

    There is so much wind and guff about this developement its becoming an embarassment for the area. In my opinion it looks like a carbunkle perched on what was a pretty hillside. The build does not inspire me, the design does not excite me and the whole project turns me off. Its my chosen...

    Hello Rob Mc, Its certainly not my job to come to pippins defense (big, ugly etc come to mind),however often when taking properties from 3rd parties it is difficult to keep an eye on them. Sadly trying to manage the unrealistic expectations that some clients have for their own resales is a...

    DAMN TITLE DEEDS! - any answers???

    Kismet, although I agree with much of the sentiment in your postings, I would suggest a little caution in the assumptions of developers and hands in pockets etc. Although it may (or may not) be the case, it would be a great shame for any unfounded statement to bring the forum into disrepute and...

    St georges hills coral bay

    , I hope not literally as you will have very little views. Its one of the few complexes we have not recommended to anyone. It is also so remote that any holidaymaker is going to feel and be very exposed in the middle of nowhere, yes some people like solace and peace on a holiday, however 7...

    Target practice with the touts anybody??

    Good post Cornholio, but sadly these regs will take a long time to take hold, and the squirming worms that cheat, and con their way to our wallets will continue to "distribute" in the same and even more underhand ways. We have just been down the harbour and were approached no less than 6...

    Target practice with the touts anybody??

    Sadly the whole marketing process these people use is very persuasive and forceful. Ive known of people who have said, "I wont get taken in." "I'll jus go & force them to give me a freebie". And sadly they end up signing documentation. The canvassing of these schemem should be...

    DAMN TITLE DEEDS! - any answers???

    Sisie, Nigels advice is spot on, and the 18 month estimate is unreasonable and unachievable in Cyprus. Many complexes will never have deeds issued for a couple of reasons. Firstly re your solicitor, check his impartiality and distance from the other parties involved. Use the High Commission...
