ROSIE Charalambous interviewed me last evening on the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation’s programme ‘Round and About’ regarding the Liasides situation and move by the Alpha Bank to auction eight plots of land owned by Liasides at Anarita, Pegeia, Mesa Chorio and Armou.
You may listen to that interview, which lasts 14 minutes – and you may download the Alpha Bank applications, which contain details of the eight sites.
As I explained to Rosie during the interview, one of the aspects that the Director of the Land Registry at Paphos must consider before deciding whether or not to approve the Alpha Bank’s applications is all objections raised to the auction that are raised by interested parties. (In this case, those who have bought homes on any of the Liasides plots at Anarita, Pegeia, Mesa Chorio and Armou).
Liasides buyers act now
Liasides buyers need to file objections to the auction of the plots with the Director of the Land Registry in Paphos quoting the case number, as shown in the applications above, their Contract of Sale reference and their reasons for objecting (i.e because they have homes on the land and stand to lose them if the Alpha Bank auction applications are approved).
Letters of objection should be addressed to:
The Director
Paphos District Land Office
New Governmental Offices
P O Box 60008
8100 Pafos
Those wishing to file their objections in person will find the office near the Paphos Court.
During my interview with Rosie, I spoke of a letter that had been written on behalf of the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior to an MEP in which an assurance was given that:
“buyers of immovable property are protected, once they deposit the Contract of Sale at the appropriate District Office of the Department of Lands and Surveys according to the Sale of Lands (Specific Performance Law, Cap.232.”
This assurance is very misleading and may give added weight to the objections raised by Liasides buyers and I suggest they include it in their letters to the Director; a copy may be downloaded by clicking here.
