Borrowers seeking to join Cyprus’ Mortgage to Rent Scheme have been granted an additional two months to submit their applications, after the Ministry of Finance announced an extension in response to strong public interest.
The application deadline, which had been due to expire on 31 July 2026, has now been extended until Wednesday, 30 September 2026, giving eligible homeowners more time to apply for the government-backed housing support programme.
Extension follows increased demand
In a statement issued today, the Ministry of Finance confirmed that the extension was approved due to the growing number of applications received in recent weeks.
The scheme reopened in May 2026, allowing eligible borrowers another opportunity to participate. While applications resumed earlier this year, the eligibility criteria and participation conditions remain unchanged.
The decision to extend the deadline suggests demand for the programme has accelerated as the original closing date approached.
(According to KEDIPES, a total of 4,269 applications were submitted between 2023 and 31 July 2026, including 929 received between 4 May and 31 July 2026. Of these, 1,211 applications have been approved, with 846 properties already transferred to KEDIPES.)
Applications must be submitted in person
Although application forms are available online as well as from regional offices, the Ministry has reminded applicants that completed applications must be submitted in hard copy only at one of the regional offices of the Cyprus Asset Management Company (KEDIPES).
Applications can be lodged at KEDIPES offices in:
- 7 Grigori Afxentiou Street, Nicosia 1096
- 97 Gladstonos Street, Oasis Complex, Block E, 3rd Floor, Limassol 3032
- 5 Giorgou Christodoulidi Street, Larnaca 6041
- 7 Kinyras Street, Corner of Koroivou Street, Galaxias Building, Shop 4, Paphos 8011
- 4 Griva Digeni Street, 1st Floor, Paralimni 5281
Applicants should ensure all required documentation is included before submitting their forms.
