Real Estate in Cyprus

Last updated on Feb 05, 2024

Summary: An expat should search for a home to buy in Cyprus by researching the local real estate market and consulting with a real estate agent who is familiar with the area. It is also important to consider the location, size, and type of property desired. Foreigners are allowed to purchase property in Cyprus, however, there are certain restrictions in place. For example, foreigners are not allowed to purchase property in military zones or areas that are deemed to be of strategic importance. Houses in Cyprus typically include amenities such as air conditioning, central heating, and a private garden. Many homes also have a swimming pool, terrace, and/or balcony.

How do I find a place to live in Cyprus?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Cyprus is to search online for rental listings. Websites such as Airbnb, HomeAway, and Expedia offer a variety of rental options in Cyprus. Additionally, you can search for rental listings on local classifieds websites such as Cyprus Property Finder and Cyprus Property World. You can also contact local real estate agents who specialize in rental properties in Cyprus. Finally, you can also ask friends and family who live in Cyprus for recommendations," explained one expat living in Cyprus.

"I lived in the area for 3 months trying to decide where I would choose to by my house. I found my house through an estate agent," said one person in Frenaros.
