Southern Cyprus — the Republic of Cyprus — is a Mediterranean island nation and full EU member state, known for over 300 days of sunshine a year, a stable legal system, and one of the most established freehold property markets in the Eastern Mediterranean. For foreign buyers, Cyprus real estate combines EU-level ownership protection with some of the region’s most competitive prices, making it a leading destination for second homes, rental investment, and permanent residency.

Popular Areas for Buying Property in Southern Cyprus

Our current listings are concentrated in and around Paphos, on the island’s southwest coast — by far the most active area in our Southern Cyprus portfolio, followed by the nearby resort areas of Peyia, Venus Rock and Polis. Other established markets include Limassol and Nicosia.

Can Foreigners Buy Real Estate in Cyprus?

EU citizens can buy property in Cyprus with no restrictions. Non-EU citizens need approval from the Council of Ministers, which is granted in the vast majority of cases for the purchase of one residential property or a plot of land up to 4,014 m².

Buying real estate from €300,000 + VAT in a new-build development opens the door to Cyprus’s Permanent Residency programme via the fast-track Regulation 6(2) process. Approval typically takes 2–9 months, the permit is valid for life provided the property is retained and the island is visited at least once every two years, and after 8 years of residence holders can apply for citizenship.

Tips for Buying Property in Cyprus

• Confirm the property has (or will receive) a separate Title Deed before paying a deposit
• Use a licensed lawyer who is independent of the developer
• If permanent residency is your goal, check that the specific unit qualifies under Regulation 6(2)
• Compare areas on liquidity and rental yield, not just price per square metre — Paphos and Limassol currently offer the deepest resale markets
