Transfer fees payable

Transfer fees are paid once, when the title deed is transferred into your name at the Land Registry, not when you sign the contract.

For a €250,000 property you will pay €6,600 in transfer fees at the Land Registry. The 50% reduction is included.

How it is calculated

  1. Transfer fees are progressive on the declared or Land Registry value:

    Property valueFee
    up to €85,0003%
    €85,001 –
    €170,000    		5%
    above €170,0008%

  2. If the purchase is not subject to VAT (resale), fees are reduced by 50%. If VAT was paid (new build), no transfer fees are due.

  3. When the property is registered in more than one name, the value is split and each buyer uses the bands separately, which usually lowers the total. Stamp duty on sale contracts was abolished from 1 January 2026.

Frequently asked questions

Do I pay stamp duty in 2026?

No. Law 239(I)/2025 abolished stamp duty on property purchase contracts from 1 January 2026. Contracts signed up to 2025 paid stamp duty at the old rates (0.15% up to €170,000 and 0.2% above that, capped at €20,000).

Is there a purchase tax like the UK's stamp duty land tax?

No. In Cyprus the buyer pays only the Land Registry transfer fees or, on a new build, VAT (5% for a main home under conditions, otherwise 19%). There is no separate purchase tax like SDLT, and the fees here are usually far lower.

Does the 50% reduction apply to all property?

It applies to transfers not subject to VAT. Property bought with VAT pays no transfer fees at all.
