Property & Construction
We act for developers, employers, contractors, landowners, landlords, municipalities, asset management companies, investors, insurance companies, tenants and individuals. We advise on a wide range of contentious and non-contentious property and construction matters, in relation to planning, funding, sales and acquisitions, ensuring that our clients benefit from market opportunities.
Through our tailored one-stop-shop service that combines legal and strategic advice, property consultancy, and land valuations, our dedicated property team handles real estate transactions of all types and complexities and is skilled in the settlement of claims and court actions. Our Property & Construction department lawyers have extensive, specialised experience in construction law and have contributed, among other things, to the writing, revision and translation of standard construction contracts in Cyprus (e.g. new & revised standard forms for MEDSK contracts, standard forms for the appointment of designers [ETEK forms], standard civil engineer appointment contracts [SPOLMIK], etc). The Head of our Property department was officially appointed by FIDIC as a member of the team responsible for the official translation of the international “FIDIC Yellow Book” contract into Greek.
For non-legal property and land advice, our internal consultant, Andreas Z. Georgiou, a former director of the Cyprus Land Registry has extensive expertise on all land matters and government and public consulting and assists our clients in these areas.
Our department works closely with the recently established real estate consultancy firm, K.E. Makrides Property Consultants & Valuers LLC, which offers additional property related services, within the framework of their extended experience and professional ethos. Clients benefit from a wide range of real estate advice, and prompt, reliable consultation. Services include property valuations for all purposes (sale/purchase/rental, financing, financial statements, feasibility studies, compulsory purchase, etc.), consultancy on all real estate matters and property management services.
