Around 28,000 Title Deeds issued since 2009
Interior Minister Neoclis Sylikiotis has said that around 28,000 Title Deeds have been issued since 2009 following the introduction of new mechanisms and greater coordination between the relevant services. Speaking before the annual general assembly of the Cyprus Association of Real Estate Agents in Nicosia, the minister highlighted the legal and administrative initiatives taken by the government to solve the problem of pending Title Deeds." The general assessment of the four bills promoted by government and passed recently by parliament is that they constitute a significant reform of the legal framework governing the legitimacy of thousands of buildings and the issuing of Title Deeds," said Sylikiotis. "As a result of the new mechanisms introduced at thee Land Registry and the coordinated effort by all relevant services, around 28,000 Title Deeds have been issued from 2009 until now," he said.
