Real estate investment in Limassol
Limassol is the financial and lifestyle capital of Cyprus — an EU member state with one of Europe's most investor-friendly tax environments. The city has attracted significant wealth from Europe, the Middle East, Russia, and Asia over the past decade, driven by its non-domicile tax regime, strong English-language legal system, and Mediterranean quality of life. Limited coastal land supply, a growing international business community, and consistent inbound demand make Limassol one of abuda's core cities.

Why Limassol
- 1EU member state with full property ownership rights: Cyprus is a full EU member, meaning investors benefit from EU legal protections, transparent title registration, and predictable regulatory frameworks — with no foreign ownership restrictions.
- 2Non-domicile tax regime: Cyprus non-dom status exempts individuals from Special Defence Contribution (SDC) on dividend and passive interest income — a material tax advantage for high-net-worth investors who establish Cyprus residency or structure investment through the jurisdiction.
- 3Structural supply constraints on premium coastal inventory: Limassol's coastline is largely built out, with new seafront and marina-adjacent supply highly limited. This scarcity, combined with persistent international demand, supports long-term capital values on well-positioned assets.
Frequently asked questions — Limassol
Can non-EU nationals buy property in Limassol?
Yes. Cyprus allows non-EU citizens to purchase residential property on the same terms as EU nationals. Transactions are completed via a licensed Cypriot lawyer, with title transfer registered at the Department of Lands and Surveys.
What are typical gross rental yields in Limassol?
Gross yields on well-located Limassol residential assets typically range from 4–6%. Sea-view and marina-adjacent properties can achieve higher short-term rental performance, particularly during peak seasons.
What is the Cyprus non-dom tax regime?
Individuals who were not resident in Cyprus for the 17 years prior to taking up residency can apply for non-domicile status. Non-doms are exempt from the 17% Special Defence Contribution on dividends and passive interest received — a significant saving for investors with dividend-heavy or passive income portfolios.
What purchase costs should buyers expect in Cyprus?
Transfer fees are 3% on the first €85,000 of purchase price, 5% on the next €85,000, and 8% above €170,000 — though VAT-applicable new-builds may be exempt from transfer fees. Legal fees are typically 1–1.5% of purchase price. Stamp duty is a nominal cost.
