Firstly thanks to everyone for the quality information that you post on this forum, I cannot tell you how helpful I find it.
After a fairly long search I am on the verge of putting an offer in on a property in Peyia and wondered if you could offer any advice on the following
1) Currency Transfers: what is the best way of going about this? and what is the typical difference between the daily conversion rate that can be found on google versus the actual rate that it would cost to transfer a large amount of money to purchase a property I.e the exchange rate today is £1 = €1.16 but looking at various currency transfer providers they seem to be offering circa €1.10 to the pound (is this a typical variance?)
2) Can anyone recommend a property lawyer that they have personally used recently?
3) What should I specifically ask the lawyer to check for?
4) How much would I typically expect to pay a lawyer for the purchase of a detached villa? (I guess the value of the villa is a factor so I understand it would be a ‘ball park' figure)
5) Would a lawyer be able to check if there is any future development planned in the area that might affect sea views etc?
Thanks in advance (any help/advice would be most welcome and really appreciated)
