Why British buyers choose Cyprus
Where to buy — the main regions
The long-standing favourite of British buyers — golf, marinas and a large expat community on the west coast.
Cyprus's cosmopolitan business and marina city, with the strongest rental demand and new high-rise developments.
Home to the main international airport and gentler prices — popular for holiday homes and buy-to-let.
Beach-resort living on the south-east coast, strong for seasonal holiday rentals.
How the buying process works
- 1Search and shortlist with EstateRadar — request details or a viewing on any listing.
- 2Appoint an independent Cyprus lawyer to run checks and hold your interests.
- 3Reserve the property and sign a reservation agreement (a small holding deposit).
- 4Lawyer completes due diligence (title, permits, encumbrances); contracts are agreed.
- 5Sign the contract of sale and pay the deposit (typically ~30%).
- 6Apply for any permits, complete the balance and transfer the title.
Additional costs to budget for
- •Transfer fees or, on many new builds, VAT (a reduced rate can apply to a main home).
- •Stamp duty on the contract of sale.
- •Independent legal fees.
- •Currency exchange costs when converting GBP to EUR.
- •Ongoing: local taxes, communal charges and property insurance.
Can UK citizens buy after Brexit?
Yes. UK nationals can buy property in Cyprus. Non-EU buyers may need permission to acquire property, which is a standard step your lawyer handles. Brexit changed residency and time-limits for stays, not your right to own a home.
