About the Course
The Cyprus property sector in 2026 is defined by two major shifts: the full digitalization of the Department of Lands and Surveys and the tightening of property acquisition rules for non-EU nationals. For professionals, the “old way” of managing transactions no longer works.
This 6-hour masterclass provides a hands-on roadmap to navigating the 2026 market. We move beyond basic sales techniques to focus on Statutory Compliance, Digital Title Deed Transfers, and advanced Interest-Based Negotiation (Harvard Model). Participants will learn how to protect their margins from unexpected VAT changes and manage the risk of title deed delays in a high-demand economy.
