Property

What kind of information is available on MyDelos?

The MYDELOS property database is one of the Cyprus richest sources of business and residential property information. The database contains information covering almost all Cyprus. The data comes from a variety of sources including Land Registry, News publications, surveyors and estate agents.

Why is my property information listed on MYDELOS ?

MYDELOS aims to provide an individual page for every business and residential property in Cyprus. On these pages we show the transaction history (where available from Land Registry), our automated valuation estimates, and other property type and characteristic data. MYDELOS is designed to bring greater transparency to the Cyprus business and housing market.

Sometimes particular properties will come up at the top of Google searches, but this does not mean that we have singled out the property in any way – unfortunately we have no control over the order of Google's search rankings.

Does MYDELOS cover the whole of the Cyprus?

At present we cover only Cyprus.

How current is the Property data?

Our primary data source is Land Registry's and public sources. This is updated on a regularly basis by MYDELOS

Where does the historic Property sales information come from?

The dataset is supplied directly to us from Land Registry. Land Registry is the official repository of house price information in Cyprus.

Why is a property transaction not listed?

If you cannot find a specific property transaction, the most probable reason is that you are searching with an incorrect search. If you have searched thoroughly by registration number and by address and have not found the transaction you are looking for, there are three possible reasons for it not being listed. Firstly, that the transaction took place recently and has not yet been processed by Land Registry. In this case the details will be available shortly. The recording process normally takes a couple of months. In rare instances (and cases of dispute) this process can last for much longer. A second possible reason is that the property might not be recorded in the Land Registry. The final possible explanation is that through error, MYDELOS may not have added the details to their database.

What if the Property data is incorrect?

Although our data is taken from authoritative sources, discrepancies can sometimes occur. To improve the quality of our data, you can edit details on the specific property page, including the number of bedrooms the property has, its internal area and the type of property it is. You must be logged in to make these changes. Once you are logged in, and you are on the individual property page in question, simply click on ‘give feedback’ and this will allow you to put forward your amendments.

Land Registry provides us with information on historical property transaction prices, dates and property type. Land Registry do not provide information on other property characteristic information. If you think that any of their information is incorrect, please send us an e-mail [email protected].

What if I disagree with the free valuation estimate provided for my property?

The valuation estimate, provided for every property in Cyprus. Sometimes this will be different from the market value, but we make every effort to make the model as accurate as possible. The valuation should be seen as a starting point – it is not a professional valuation. You should always check with a property professional before making a financial decision.

The valuation estimates are updated monthly, as more information becomes available. Therefore the accuracy of the valuation estimates should improve over time. Unfortunately we cannot manually alter individual valuation estimates.

Can you tell me who owns a particular property?

No, we do not disclose any details on any particular individual.
