Property for Sale in Cyprus.
Apartments, villas, new developments and investment property across every Cyprus district — with current prices, full buying costs and residency guidance.
Cyprus is the eastern Mediterranean's most established property market for international buyers: an EU member state with English-language conveyancing, common-law contract principles, no inheritance tax, and a permanent residency route that opens at a €300,000 purchase. Lextrus lists property for sale across all six districts — from Limassol's marina towers and Paphos golf-resort villas to Larnaca seafront apartments and Famagusta-coast beachfront homes.
This page covers what property costs across Cyprus in 2026, the full purchase-cost stack, the step-by-step buying process for EU and non-EU buyers, and where each district sits on yield versus capital growth. Every listing below is live from our own inventory.

How to buy property in Cyprus, step by step.
- 1Reservation
A €5,000–€10,000 reservation deposit takes the property off the market, usually for 30 days.
- 2Legal due diligence
Your independent lawyer verifies title, checks for encumbrances and confirms planning and building permits.
- 3Contract of sale
Signed and deposited at the Land Registry within six months, which protects your position as buyer under Cyprus specific-performance law.
- 4Council approval (non-EU)
Non-EU buyers apply to the Council of Ministers for acquisition permission — routinely granted for standard residential purchases.
- 5Completion and title
Balance paid, keys handed over, and transfer of title deeds at the District Land Office once the developer's separate deeds are issued.
Buying property in Cyprus — FAQs.
Can foreigners buy property in Cyprus?
Yes. EU citizens buy on exactly the same terms as Cypriot nationals. Non-EU buyers may acquire one residential property — up to two units on a single plot — subject to Council of Ministers approval, which is routinely granted for standard residential purchases.
How much is property for sale in Cyprus?
Entry-level two-bedroom apartments start around €180,000 in Paralimni and €200,000 in Nicosia, rising to €450,000 for Limassol seafront. Villas typically range from €350,000 inland to €10M+ for prime Limassol hillside and branded seafront stock.
What are the total costs of buying property in Cyprus?
Budget roughly 3%–8% on top of the purchase price. That covers legal fees (1%–1.5%), stamp duty (0.15%–0.20%, capped at €20,000) and transfer fees on a 0%–8% sliding scale — waived entirely where VAT has been paid on a new build.
Does buying property in Cyprus give residency?
Yes. A qualifying purchase of €300,000 or more from a Cyprus developer supports an application for the Cyprus Permanent Residency programme, which covers the applicant, spouse and dependent children and carries no minimum-stay requirement beyond a visit once every two years.
Is Cyprus property a good investment?
Cyprus combines EU membership, a 12.5% corporate tax rate, a non-dom regime with 0% tax on foreign dividends, no inheritance tax and gross rental yields typically between 4% and 6%. Limassol has led capital appreciation over the past decade; Larnaca offers the clearest medium-term redevelopment catalyst.
How long does it take to buy a property in Cyprus?
From reservation to completion typically takes six to twelve weeks on a resale property with issued title deeds. Off-plan purchases complete on the developer's construction schedule, with staged payments against build milestones.
Where is the best place to buy property in Cyprus?
Limassol for liquidity and capital growth, Paphos for value and residency-threshold villa stock, Larnaca for redevelopment upside, Nicosia for long-term rental yield, and the Famagusta coast (Ayia Napa, Protaras, Paralimni) for beachfront and short-let income.
