Separate properties development |
| Antonis Loizou & Associates |
| We have tried this route without success. In September the Bank said they would separate the seven properties on the development and when we completed our sale and paid in full our property would be released from the mortgage. |

Roof is leaking |
| Antonis Loizou & Associates |
| Now that at long last we have rain, our roof is leaking with rain water. We had a job to find out from where the leak was coming from. We have discovered that the water was coming from the non-properly sealed A.C. pipes |

Concrete wall |
| Antonis Loizou & Associates |
| I have a small question, which no one seems to be able to answer. If a neighbour builds a concrete wall to separate two plots (the old separation being 1,50 high or so), how high can he go by law and without permission of the owner of the other plot? Some say 1,30, some say 1,50 but he wants to go 2 metres. |

Cyprus Gas |
| Antonis Loizou & Associates |
| Do you think that if Cyprus finds gas, demand for real estate will increase? We have some land, yet our friends advise us to hold onto it, because the gas situation will evolve into a bonanza for real estate. We really cannot hold our land for too long, but then we do not want to miss out. |

Fence wall around plot |
| Antonis Loizou & Associates |
| We have a concrete fence wall around our plot. It is affected by damp, but oddly enough it is not, rising damp from the ground/soil. It is found on top and it works its way downward, causing the paint to pill off and in addition to the constant cost of repaint (it reappears after each winter) it is anti-aesthetic. |

Pergola: Building Amnesty |
| Antonis Loizou & Associates |
| My wife and I purchased our house in March of this year and, prior to purchasing, were made aware of the pergola which has been 'built' at the side of the house. The pergola is bolted to the exterior wall and has a solid roof in that it is boarded and tiled (with 'fabric' tiles). In addition, the previous occupant built a fence along the garden wall. |

Building amnesty |
|
| We feel very confused with this new Title Deed Amnesty. We applied with the last amnesty in 2005 only to be turned down as we had increased our property the Town Planning said by 28.7%. |

Time Share of Property |
| Antonis Loizou & Associates |
| We bought a one bedroomed apartment from ... at their '... Resort' for use during 'Yellow' season for a period of one week per year. At the time of purchase we were informed about the facilities at the resort ( it was under construction at the time) and these were to include a private sandy beach area with small jetty, tennis court, volleyball court, indoor & outdoor pools, Jacuzzi, gym, sauna and restaurant. Since then we have bought a house here and only rarely use the timeshare. |

Communal charges |
| Antonis Loizou & Associates |
| Some people do not pay their communal charges and amongst other reasons given, is that the tenants/occupiers should pay and not the owners, the latter having no responsibility – they claim. I do not find this reasonable since the common management committee cannot keep in touch the tenants, especially when the units are on short lets. |

Who pays to repair the roof |
| Antonis Loizou & Associates |
| I am the owner of a ground floor house on a two story building. It is situated in Limassol 100m from the sea and it was build in 1954 with a tiled roof.
There are two separate title deeds and the plot is separated in two parts as shown on the Town Planning map (two different plot numbers). |

Water leaking |
| Antonis Loizou & Associates |
| We have water leaking through our ceiling in the bathroom, we paid for a building and plumber to come and tell us what the problem is, their assessment is that the above flat has a leak in a pipe and that it is finding its way and travelling down one of the metal inserts in the concrete, and as we all know water will find its own level, this seems to be our misfortune that it has come out above our bathroom, we have got a bucket under to catch the water. |
