Buying Property in Cyprus from Abroad

Starting the process from another country

Buying property in Cyprus from abroad often begins with an assumption: that you need a local broker or intermediary before you can speak with a developer. That assumption adds a step, a cost and usually a delay.

It is not required with BERKOS. Enquiries are handled by the in-house team that plans, builds and delivers the projects, so questions about availability, specifications and timelines are answered by the people responsible for them. You can review the current BERKOS developments in Limassol before you write, or simply describe what you are looking for.

Do international buyers need a local intermediary?

No. You can contact BERKOS directly for project information, availability, floor plans and initial guidance on the buying process.

That said, direct contact with a developer is not a substitute for independent advice. Legal, tax and financing questions should be reviewed with your own qualified professionals. For general background on the process itself, see our guide on buying property in Cyprus as a foreign investor.

How direct contact with BERKOS works

The process is the same whether you are in Limassol or in another country.

1. You send an enquiry through the official BERKOS contact page

The buyer sends an enquiry through the official BERKOS contact page, by email, by phone or on WhatsApp. No local broker or intermediary is required to open the conversation.

2. The BERKOS team asks about your objective, property type, budget and timeline

The BERKOS team asks about the buyer's objective, preferred property type, budget and timeline, so the response covers projects that are actually relevant.

3. Relevant projects, availability, floor plans and specifications are provided

Relevant projects, availability, floor plans and technical specifications are provided, including current stage of construction and estimated delivery.

4. You arrange a call, an online meeting or a property viewing

The buyer can arrange a call, an online meeting or a property viewing in Limassol, whichever suits the stage they are at.

5. If you decide to proceed, the next steps are explained

If the buyer decides to proceed, the next steps and the relevant professional processes are explained, including reservation, documentation and the parties involved.

What to prepare before contacting a Cyprus property developer

A short set of notes makes the first reply far more useful. Before you write, decide:

Whether the property is for investment, personal use or relocation

Preferred location

Approximate budget

Number of bedrooms

Preferred purchase timeline

Whether financing is required

Whether you plan to visit Cyprus

Any questions about availability, specifications, delivery and payment terms

Questions international buyers should ask

These questions apply to any developer, not only BERKOS:

What units are currently available?

What is included in the advertised price?

Is VAT included or additional?

What is the current stage of the project?

What is the estimated delivery date?

Can I receive the floor plans and technical specifications?

What are the proposed payment stages?

What after-sales support is available?

Who will remain responsible after the property is handed over?

Answers to the last two questions depend on how a developer is organised. Ours are set out in how a BERKOS project is delivered from land to handover. Tax and legal answers depend on your own circumstances and residency, so obtain independent professional advice rather than relying on a general answer.

What happens after the first enquiry?

After your enquiry reaches the team, the sequence is straightforward:

Initial qualification of your objective, budget and timeline

Matching you with the projects that fit those criteria

Sharing current availability and project documentation

Arranging a call, an online meeting or a viewing

Answering project-specific questions on specifications, stage and delivery

Explaining the reservation and purchasing process when relevant

If specification and build standards are part of your assessment, it is worth reading what quality construction looks like in Cyprus before comparing offers.

How to reach the BERKOS team

Phone and WhatsApp are separate numbers. Use whichever is easiest from your country.

Phone calls: +357 77 788 776

You can also contact the BERKOS team directly through the contact page and the enquiry will reach the same in-house team.

BERKOS internal results

Based on BERKOS internal enquiry tracking, direct international enquiries increased by 42% after the contact process was simplified. During the same period, the average initial response time improved from approximately two days to under four hours.

The improvement followed changes made to the website and contact process and was observed within approximately three weeks. These are internal operational figures, not an external study or an industry benchmark.

Frequently asked questions

Can I contact BERKOS directly from outside Cyprus?

Yes. Enquiries from abroad are handled by the in-house BERKOS team in English, by contact form, email, phone or WhatsApp.

Do I need a local intermediary before contacting BERKOS?

No. You can request project information, availability and floor plans directly. You may still choose to work with your own independent advisers.

What information should I prepare before making an enquiry?

Your purpose for buying, preferred location, approximate budget, number of bedrooms, timeline, whether financing is required and whether you plan to visit Cyprus.

Can BERKOS provide current availability and floor plans remotely?

Yes. Availability lists, floor plans, technical specifications and payment stages can be sent by email without travelling to Cyprus.

Can I arrange an online meeting before travelling to Cyprus?

Yes. Calls and online meetings can be arranged, and a viewing can be scheduled later when you are in Limassol.

Does BERKOS provide legal or tax advice?

No. BERKOS provides project information and coordinates the purchase process. Independent legal, tax and financial advice should be obtained from qualified professionals.

What support is available after handover?

The same in-house team remains responsible after handover, covering after-sales support, defects and property management questions.
