Mortgages are available in Cyprus. 70% mortgages are now available in any currency, however getting a mortgage in CY£ can be expensive so you should compare this rate with the Euro and sterling rate to see which offers the best deal. Euro mortgages have only been available in Cyprus since February 2005 and often offer the best value for money.
Documents required for a mortgage application
- *Passport
- *Copy of last P60
- *3 months salary slips

The rate of exchange can vary enormously and can make a huge difference to the amount you eventually pay, it is therefore advisable to use a corporate currency broker who specialise in this area. Through these specialised companies there are a number of options available to you, one of which is the forward purchase scheme, which guarantees rates for up to 2 years (ideal if you are purchasing a new build property).
