Question 1

Which new build developments does Arvora have for sale in Limassol right now?

Accepted Answer

Two: Arvora Collection I in Columbia and Arvora Signature I in Ekali. They hold eight and nine residences respectively, and both are selling off-plan with staged payments tied to construction milestones. Availability, floor plans and current pricing are confirmed by our sales team on request.

Question 2

Can a non-resident or overseas buyer purchase property in Cyprus?

Accepted Answer

Yes. EU citizens buy on the same terms as Cypriots. Non-EU buyers may acquire one property — a home or an apartment — subject to a routine Council of Ministers permit, which is granted as a matter of course for a clean purchase. We prepare the file with your lawyer so the permit runs alongside construction rather than after it.

Question 3

What are the total buying costs on top of the purchase price?

Accepted Answer

Budget for VAT (5% on a qualifying primary residence for the first 130 m², otherwise 19%), transfer fees, stamp duty of roughly 0.15–0.20%, and independent legal fees of about 1%. We issue a written cost breakdown for the specific unit before you reserve, so nothing is discovered at signing.

Question 4

How does the payment schedule work on an off-plan Arvora home?

Accepted Answer

A reservation fee holds the unit and freezes the price, followed by a contract deposit and stage payments released against certified construction progress. Contracts are lodged with the Land Registry for specific performance, which protects your right to the property before title is issued.

Question 5

Do Arvora homes qualify for permanent residency in Cyprus?

Accepted Answer

New build residential property from €300,000 plus VAT can support an application for permanent residency by investment, provided the income and clean-record criteria are met. Several units in both developments sit above that threshold; we can flag which ones and introduce a specialist immigration lawyer.

Question 6

What rental yield and resale demand should an investor expect?

Accepted Answer

Well-specified new build apartments in Columbia, Ekali and Ayios Athanasios typically return around 4–5% gross on long lets, with stronger figures on furnished executive lets. Scarcity does the heavy lifting: nine-home developments in established residential districts hold value better than volume towers.

Question 7

How long does construction take, and what happens at handover?

Accepted Answer

Roughly 20–26 months from ground-breaking, depending on the collection. You receive scheduled progress reporting throughout, a snagging walkthrough before completion, and a structural and mechanical warranty package at handover. Title transfer is coordinated by your lawyer with our team.

Question 8

Can I change the finishes or combine two units?

Accepted Answer

Yes, within the construction programme. Buyers who reserve early can select from the Arvora material palette, adjust kitchen and bathroom specification, and in some cases reconfigure internal layouts. Later-stage purchases are limited to finishes already ordered.

Question 9

Why buy off-plan rather than a finished resale home?

Accepted Answer

Off-plan gives you the widest choice of homes, time to spread payments across construction, the chance to pick finishes, and a new build with modern insulation and full warranties. You also avoid the repair and upgrade costs that often come with older resale stock.

Question 10

Is my money protected while the building is under construction?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your contract is lodged with the Land Registry, which gives you a legal claim on the specific home before title is issued. Payments are tied to certified construction stages, and your independent lawyer checks permits and title before you sign.

Question 11

Can I get a mortgage on an off-plan home in Cyprus?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cyprus banks lend to residents and non-residents. On off-plan purchases the bank usually pays in parts that match your stage payments, and you pay interest only on what has been drawn.

Question 12

Can I visit the site before I reserve?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We arrange private viewings of both sites in Columbia and Ekali, and video walkthroughs for buyers abroad. Message us on WhatsApp or send an enquiry and we will set a time.
