Real Estate Advisory & Expertise
Strategic guidance at every stage of the property journey - from land acquisition to long-term ownership.
Land Acquisition Guidance
Purchasing land in Cyprus or Greece involves a series of legal, technical and regulatory checks that, if overlooked, can lead to significant complications. Our team conducts rigorous due diligence on your behalf, investigating:
- Pre-existing mortgages, contracts, writs of sale or legal encumbrances that could affect the transaction.
- Road accessibility - a fundamental legal and practical requirement for any development.
- Exact land boundaries, confirmed through an independent valuation report.
- Utility connectivity, including liaison with relevant authorities where infrastructure does not yet exist.
- The land's Building Factor, which determines the maximum permitted development area.
- Market value, independently confirmed through a valuation report.
- Government infrastructure plans that may result in compulsory acquisition.
Off-Plan Purchase Guidance
Acquiring an off-plan property is one of the most effective routes to investment value - provided the right due diligence is conducted before commitment. Our team draws on direct development experience to assess:
- The developer's track record, credibility and completed portfolio.
- Ownership structure and any joint-title complexities.
- Building Permit status and legal compliance.
- Potential encumbrances on the title.
- Stage payment agreements - reviewed in full before you sign.
The Advantage of Advice from a Developer
Velment's advisory services are grounded in direct development experience. Because we design, build and deliver our own boutique residential projects, we evaluate land, property and development opportunities with the same excellence we apply to our own portfolio - not as observers, but as practitioners.
Whether you are acquiring land for development, purchasing off-plan, buying a resale property or seeking strategic guidance on an existing asset, our team provides the clarity and coordination you need to make confident, well-informed decisions.
Resale Property Guidance
Resale transactions in Cyprus and Greece carry their own set of legal and documentary requirements. Our team verifies:
- That the seller is the registered owner on the Title Deed, or that an appropriate Assignment Agreement is in place.
- Whether a Final Approval Certificate exists, confirming legal construction.
- That all applicable taxes have been fully settled.
- Any limitations or encumbrances on the property.
- The property's independent market value.
Property Management Guidance
Protecting an overseas property requires consistent, professional attention. Our management services cover all aspects of day-to-day ownership, including:
- Tenant selection and screening.
- Rental contract drafting.
- Liaison with local authorities on your behalf.
- Insurance management and property condition monitoring.
- Garden and pool maintenance.
- Rent collection and financial reporting.
