Greece and Cyprus
We have established a connection to Greece and Cyprus and our latest ongoing case is in relation to property mis-selling in Cyprus.
Over the last 50 years Cyprus has been developing and expanding its property construction sector and selling many off-plan properties. The majority of these properties have been purchased by ex-pats hoping to return to Cyprus or individuals looking for holiday or retirement homes. However, many individuals have encountered problems with properties remaining unfinished or mortgages doubling in value due to inflation. The promise of cheap property prices, with increased rental income and low mortgages has enticed many to part with thousands of pounds. The reality is that there has been a fall in property prices; houses which are incomplete cannot be rented and even if they were completed they do not let for the value which was promised by the developer. The result of this has left many unable to pay their bills at home and in some extreme cases there have been claims made by banks on assets in their country of residence.
We are currently investigating numerous matters involving a great number of units on different developments throughout Cyprus. Our initial aim is to settle these matters using non-litigious solutions. We have already built up a lot of interest from individuals affected by the issue and are representing them as a collective.
