Start a Protaras holiday-property sale with the documents
A property marketed as Protaras, Pernera or Kapparis needs to be identified by its actual address and registration information. Ask what is registered, whether a separate title is available and whether an existing purchaser’s contract is involved. A resort-area description does not establish the legal route to ownership.
If a management company or another person has dealt with the home while you were abroad, obtain the current documents rather than assuming the original purchase file is complete. Record which statements are current and which need updating. The case room helps show gaps; it does not turn an old document into a current legal confirmation.

For an apartment or managed complex, explain shared pools, access, gardens and maintenance arrangements accurately. Ask whether parking, terraces or storage have documented rights attached to the unit. The buyer’s lawyer should be able to examine the relevant documents and identify obligations that may continue after the purchase.
Prepare an inventory if the sale includes furniture or equipment. Identify items that belong to a manager, tenant or other third party. An agreed price means little if the parties have different assumptions about what remains in the home at handover.
Discuss the buyer’s intended use before committing
A buyer wanting occasional personal use may ask different practical questions from someone planning full-time residence or a rental activity. Record the intended use and ask which permissions, arrangements and costs need checking. Neither an advert nor a shared case status confirms that a proposed use is lawful or financially viable.
Where seller and buyer live in different countries, record availability, communication preferences and the lawyer’s requirements early. Online preparation can reduce repeated emails, but signatures, certification, permissions and official attendance still depend on the individual transaction. Keep travel plans provisional until the responsible professional confirms the next step.

- Match the advertised area to the registered property.
- Request current management and common-expense information.
- Identify ownership of furniture and equipment.
- Have proposed use and remote-signing arrangements checked.
A fixed-fee alternative to scattered calls and manual chasing
A traditional sale can involve separate agency, legal and administrative conversations with no common record of the next action. Properly gives the practical process a shared digital home. You prepare the brief, conduct viewings and decide which offer to accept. The appointed lawyer handles the professional work agreed in the engagement.
The €3,995 price includes VAT and is paid at the start after scope and engagement are confirmed. It does not rise with the sale price and is not a completion-only commission. Compare this with your actual alternative quote, including whether that provider conducts viewings and when payment becomes due. A fixed package does not guarantee a higher price, faster completion or lower costs in every case.
Buying property in Protaras with the right assistance
Bring the home you have found into a buyer case, or accept an invitation from the seller. Record financing, intended use, practical questions and the documents you want reviewed. Properly has no public property catalogue and does not recommend an investment or certify market value.
Identify who represents you before relying on legal advice. A lawyer in the shared room may represent the seller, and the buyer may need a separate adviser. Practical shared messages are not a confidential channel for one party. Ask the appointed professionals to explain the ownership route, contract, deposit conditions and payment instructions for the actual purchase.
From preparation to the official transfer
- Record the property, ownership, documents, mortgage and known issues.
- Arrange seller-led viewings and record practical follow-up questions.
- Invite the identified buyer or seller into the shared case.
- Confirm suitability, professional identity, represented client and written scope.
- Prepare proposed terms for the lawyer’s contract work and agreed checks.
- Coordinate lender, payment, document and official transfer requirements with the responsible professionals.
The property purchase money follows the lawyer and banking arrangements, not Properly’s public website. Taxes, registry charges, debt repayment, inspections and work outside the scope remain separate unless expressly included. Opening a case is free and does not appoint a lawyer or buy a package.
Questions about your next move.
Can I organise a Protaras sale digitally?
Yes, preparation and shared coordination can take place in the case room. The lawyer confirms which official requirements remain offline or require authorised representation.
Will a shared lawyer advise both buyer and seller?
Not automatically. The lawyer’s represented client and scope must be established. Shared practical coordination does not remove conflicts of interest or the need for separate advice.
What does selling through Properly in Protaras cost?
The digital sale package is €3,995 including VAT, paid at the start after suitability, written scope and professional engagement are agreed. Optional marketing is €1,900 including VAT. Taxes, official charges, debt repayment and work outside the agreed scope are separate unless expressly included.
Can I get help buying property in Protaras?
You can bring a property you have found into a private case and coordinate with the seller. Confirm who represents you and which professional work you need. The package purchaser and scope must be agreed; opening a case does not automatically charge both parties.
Does a digital sale avoid the Land Registry process?
No. The platform organises preparation and shared progress. The appointed lawyer confirms required documents, signatures, representation and official steps. A case status does not register ownership, release a mortgage or move money.
