This will also result in the Title Deeds to their property being issued with notes and potentially, other properties in the development will also be issued with a Title Deeds with notes even though they\u2019ve been built correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news.cyprus-property-buyers.com\/2008\/10\/14\/using-our-apartment-as-collateral-for-a-loan-etc\/id=00508\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Properties with notes cannot be sold<\/a>&nbsp;or mortgaged until any planning infringements have been corrected. Once corrected, properties will be issued with \u2018clean\u2019 Title Deeds enabling them to be sold or mortgaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just last week I was advised that Title Deeds could not be issued for a development for a number of reasons, including: unpaid land division fees, no application or payment for a sewerage licence, roof perimeter walls are too low, landscaping incomplete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In these cases, the developer responsible for causing the planning infringements gets off scot-free \u2013 and it\u2019s left to the property buyer to pay for any remedial work necessary and then sue the developer to recover their money!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A double whammy! (four actually):<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>As property with a Title Deed that has notes cannot be sold, it has no value on the open market.<\/li><li>Despite the fact that properties have no market value, home-owners are required to pay Property Transfer Fees based on the Land Registry\u2019s assessment of its market value at its date of purchase.<\/li><li>The victim (the purchaser) has to pay for the indiscretions of the cowboy builder (developer) in order to obtain a \u2018clean\u2019 Title Deed to make the property saleable.<\/li><li>To recover the cost of any remedial work, the home-owner victim has to sue the developer.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The simplest solution to this gross injustice is for the planning authority to impose fines on cowboy builder sufficient to pay for the remedial work required to remove any \u2018notes\u2019 from Title Deeds, and revoke the developer\u2019s licence to build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Home buyers who insist on buying properties off-plan are strongly advised to insure against any potential losses in the event that clean Title Deeds cannot be issued and their developer\u2019s insolvency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news.cyprus-property-buyers.com\/2021\/09\/23\/title-deeds-backlog-reducing\/id=00164552\">https:\/\/www.news.cyprus-property-buyers.com\/2021\/09\/23\/title-deeds-backlog-reducing\/id=00164552<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interior Minister Nicos Nouris said that the Title Deeds backlog had reduced during his speech at the 15th&nbsp;Land Development Conference in Nicosia on Tuesday.
