Fuel price increase
The price of diesel will gradually be increased by 12 cents per litre over
the next two years during the lead up to EU accession.
The price of petrol will be increased by 4 – 4,5 per cents per litre over
the same period. As a countermeasure, diesel car owners will pay less road
tax than they do at present.
The government can and probably will waive the tax on fuel used for household
heating.
Motorists will have to pay full prices. The government is not entitled to
make any reductions for vehicles as a result of EU rules.
=======================================
Incoming bill for illegal parking
Local authorities are due to designate certain areas as no parking
zones, these will be properly marked and signed. Offenders will either be
clamped or towed away, depending on how long the vehicle has been parked
illegally. To get the clamps removed the owner of the vehicle will have to
pay CYP12.00.
If the vehicle is towed away, to get it back will cost CYP60.00.
Additionally, local municipalities also have the right to impose a CYP50.00
fine for the offence.

Progress Reports
We are happy to announce a new service for our clients. Our property progress
reports give you peace of mind. When you buy a new property we will visit
the site 3-4 times on your behalf during the construction period.
We take digital photos and write a detailed report, which is then posted
to password protected pages on our website for you to view. You will be
able to monitor the building process from your home, whilst having us representing
you over here. We are offering this service free of charge to our clients.
