Our latest article on Unmortgageability Risks in Off-Plan Property Purchases: Commercial-to-Residential Conversions Under Scrutiny

What is an Off-Plan Purchase An off-plan purchase involves committing to buy a property before construction has been completed. Buyers typically rely on plans, specifications, and marketing materials rather than a finished unit.

Between 2004 and 2012, many overseas buyers invested in ๐จ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ-๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ง ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐‚๐ฒ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ. Unfortunately, many buyers were adversely affected by a combination of factors, including high-risk bank lending practices, the absence or delay of title deeds, overvalued or undelivered properties and exposure to foreign-currency loan facilities that subsequently became unaffordable. When difficulties arose, lenders frequently pursued borrowers on a personal basis, including by way of enforcement action, giving rise to significant financial and legal pressure.

We have advised hundreds of clients affected by these issues, adopting a ๐ฉ๐ซ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐œ๐š๐ฅ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ-๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž๐ง ๐š๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐š๐œ๐ก. Our work includes negotiating fair and commercially viable settlements, challenging bank claims where appropriate and working closely with trusted Cyprus-based lawyers and sales agents to facilitate property disposals and settlement outcomes.

Settlement structures have included consensual recovery of the property by the bank, third-party sales with negotiated clearance of liabilities and costs and lump-sum payments enabling clients to retain ownership of their properties.
