    It’s actually worse than that. If the developer has outstanding loans and taxes that are not related to your property and the developer holds even just the title deed to the land because the deeds for the properties on it have not been issued, his assets can be sequestered in favour of creditors and you can be invited to pay a share of the debts to keep your home or be kicked out.

  2. The Land Registry may as well issue the deeds on toilet paper because if the developer has outstanding loans and taxes on your property that you have paid for you will not get them. The banks and the government have no need to use good working practices or due diligence because the Cyprus courts use a system compatible to the banks!! The only thing that has any leverage is money so unless they deliver the goods they do not get a bailout from the EU. SIMPLE

  3. @Elizabeth – a Google translation reveals little change from the last report – plenty of hyperbole.

    But we still don’t know what (if any) progress is being made to clear the backlog:

    Backlog – issued = revised backlog for next report

    A child of 10 could manage that without too much difficulty.

    Firstly, last time they gave an update the commentary was in English as well as Greek, what are they trying to hide now?

    Secondly, it would appear that the EU Commission accept that Cyprus is currently not adhering to the bailout MOU reporting requirements, wonder why?

    Please see the Commission’s (incomplete!) response to MEP Daniel Hannan’s question on the matter : Cyprus Memorandum of Understanding.
