Mortgage adviser in Limassol
Mortgage adviser in Limassol: request quotes from local professionals and compare prices, timings and terms.
Most buyers in Cyprus finance the purchase or build of a home with a housing loan. When you build, the bank usually releases the loan in stages after a valuer confirms progress on site, and it takes a mortgage over the property and requires insurance. A mortgage adviser or the bank itself can help you compare rates, terms and costs and get the paperwork in order. Government housing schemes may also be available, and these change from time to time.
Limassol has a lot of new building, from apartment blocks and high-rises to seafront renovations. Humidity and salt near the sea wear out metalwork, window frames and exterior finishes faster, so ask about corrosion-resistant materials. Demand for trades is high, so it pays to request quotes early.

FAQ
How does drawdown work for a self-build?
Usually in instalments that match stages of the build, such as frame, walls and finishes. Before each one the bank sends a valuer to confirm progress.
How big a deposit do I need?
Banks usually lend part of the value and you cover the rest. The proportion depends on the bank, the property and your profile, so get offers from more than one bank.
Can I get a loan if I live abroad?
Yes, several banks lend to non-residents, often on stricter terms. Ask what proof of income they will need.
