Key figures
Entry prices in our catalog
Developer price lists as of 4 Nov 2026: Grigio Court apartments in Polis (Paphos district) from €170,000 + VAT, Aphrodite Court in Paphos from €200,000 + VAT, Melania Begonia from €300,000, Avora Court from €315,000, Galaxy Residences from €320,000 + VAT. Villas in the district start at €350,000 + VAT (Zephyros Village 3). We confirm the current price and availability with the developer before you reserve.
Full cost
Example: an apartment at €200,000 + 19% VAT = €238,000. If the property becomes your main residence and the conditions are met (first 130 m², value up to €350,000, total price up to €475,000, 10 years of residence), part of the price is taxed at 5% (PwC). No transfer fee is charged when VAT is paid (gov.cy), and stamp duty was abolished from 1 January 2026 (Harneys).
What we check
- whether the price includes VAT and which rate will actually apply;
- the building permit, encumbrances on the land and when the title deed will be issued;
- protection of payments during construction under Law 132(I)/2023;
- the Comm.145 permit for buyers from outside the EU (Cyprus Ministry of Interior);
- for permanent residency - whether the unit qualifies: a new home, first sale, from €300,000 excluding VAT.
