The procedure is simple and usually occurs within 2 months. Once You choose property, You will need to remove it from the market by making a Deposit in the amount of from 2000 to 5000 euros. The Deposit is not refundable if the buyer from the purchase subsequently refused, but may be moved from 1 property to another. In case of any problem with the seller, the Deposit will be returned.
The signing of the contract of sale should be held within 1 month after making a Deposit. It should be remembered that in the execution of all documents necessarily involved a lawyer. The contract is signed in two copies, is mandatory for the buyer and the seller and must be fulfilled on all counts. It should be clearly described object and specified the order of payment. When signing a contract to pay 10% of project cost.
A lawyer by the buyer brings all the necessary information required by the district Office for the registration of land transactions, guaranteeing that a seller of real estate is its actual owner, the buyer acquires a valid right of ownership to this property.
If You have any questions, please ask, I'll be glad to answer them.

Alain, good day!
The procedure of purchase of real estate standard. Describe it below. If You mean payment options, it all depends on which object You select. If this is new construction and the Builder has a representative office in Moscow, we can discuss payment options (for example partly in Moscow, partly in Cyprus, etc.). It is also possible to use for payments mission of the Russian or international banks (since now many are afraid to contact the Cypriot banks).
Also an important point that buying a property worth more than 300,000 euros, You are entitled to receive from permanent residence - a permanent residence permit in Cyprus.
The following describes an exemplary procedure for registration of the transaction of purchase and sale (for example, the scenario in which a buyer purchases a new ready-made housing through mortgage lending).
The buyer makes a Deposit for the selected property. Usually the Deposit is a few percent of the cost of housing. After payment, the property was withdrawn from sale and reserved for the buyer.
At the same time the buyer enters into a contract with Cypriot lawyer for legal advice. Also, the buyer gives the attorney the necessary powers of attorney.
Simultaneously the buyer submits documents to the Cyprus Bank mortgage loan. Then the buyer goes to his home.
The property is for the buyer reserved, as a rule, one - half to one month. This month, the lawyer prepares the contract of sale, it negotiates with the parties to the transaction. The Bank prepares the resolution on the issuance of mortgage loan.
In a month or a little more, the buyer receives the information that the contract is ready and the deal is agreed upon, and that the Bank is willing to issue a mortgage loan. The buyer arrives in Cyprus, signs the contract of purchase and sale and makes a payment in the amount of, for example, 50% of the cost of housing.
The buyer along with a lawyer and a representative of the developer shall:
The payment of Stamp duty (Stamp Duty)
Escrow agreement the Land Committee (District Land Office).
After paying the Deposit agreement, the lawyer carries out two steps:
Preparing a statement for permission from the Council of Ministers of Cyprus for property acquisition. This procedure is, in General, a formality. The state only checks for two things - the buyer should not be problems with the law (his name should not appear in lists of the Interpol) and purchased housing must be first (for citizens of countries outside the EU)
Preparing the application for VAT exemption
After signing and Deposit of the contract the buyer enters into a contract with a Bank for a mortgage loan.
Then within a few days the Bank transfers the money to the developer.
Immediately after that the buyer takes possession of their property, getting the keys from her. Begins the phase of construction of the property. The buyer can count on the full support of the Alliance in this matter.
On state Land, the Committee after thorough testing built real estate issues a Certificate of ownership (Title Deed) on it.
After receiving the Title Deed the buyer pays the Tax on transfer of ownership (Transfer Fee) and becomes the registered owner of the property.
The scheme of action may vary depending on specific conditions. It should be modified if, for example:
The buyer does not resort to mortgage lending
The property is purchased at the construction stage
Bought a secondary property, are subject to VAT, etc.
