Property transfer fees calculator for Cyprus
When you buy property you pay the Department of Lands and Surveys fees to transfer the title.
Enter the property value and whether the purchase carried VAT.
How it's calculated
- The scale is tiered: 3% up to €85,000, 5% from there up to €170,000 and 8% above.
- When no VAT is charged, the fees are reduced by 50%.
- When the same sale is subject to VAT, no transfer fees are due.
An example
For a €200,000 property without VAT, the scale gives €9,200. With the 50% reduction you pay €4,600.
Frequently asked questions
When are no transfer fees due?
When the sale was subject to VAT, usually new property bought from a developer.
Does the reduction apply to repossessed property?
