FindWelle is an AI-powered property discovery platform that helps you find your ideal property in Cyprus through natural conversation. Instead of using complex filters, you simply describe what you're looking for, and our AI finds the best matches from our curated database of verified properties. ### Is FindWelle free to use? Yes, FindWelle is completely free for property seekers. We're funded by our partnerships with verified agents and developers who list their properties on our platform. ### How is FindWelle different from other property portals? Unlike traditional portals where you browse hundreds of listings, FindWelle uses AI to understand your needs and show you only relevant properties. We also provide honest matching – showing you both what fits your criteria and where there might be compromises. ### How do I search for properties? Simply describe what you're looking for in the search box on our homepage. You can include your budget, preferred location, number of bedrooms, lifestyle preferences, or any other criteria. Our AI will understand your requirements and find matching properties. ### Can foreigners buy property in Cyprus? Yes, foreigners have the right to own property in Cyprus. EU citizens enjoy unrestricted purchasing power, while non-EU citizens typically need a standard approval from the Council of Ministers, which allows them to own one residential unit or a plot of land up to 4,014 sqm for personal use. ### What is the Golden Visa program? Cyprus offers a Permanent Residency program for non-EU investors who purchase property worth €300,000 or more (from a developer). This allows you and your family to live in Cyprus with various benefits. ### What are the typical costs when buying property? The 2026 tax reform abolished stamp duty on property contracts, reducing upfront costs. Buyers should now budget for legal fees (1-2%), VAT (5% for eligible primary residences or 19% otherwise), and transfer fees (3-8% on resales, though these are often reduced by 50% or waived entirely if VAT was paid on the property). ### Are the agents on FindWelle verified? Yes, we only work with verified and licensed real estate agents and developers in Cyprus. We vet all our partners to ensure you have a safe and professional experience.
