The Legal System in Cyprus is generally based on the common law and the legislation is largely based on the British equivalent. However, Cyprus Legislation differs from the UK in the area of Immovable Property. The ultimate law of Cyprus, which is its Constitution safeguards the protection of ownership. Subject to the Cyprus Law, Cypriots as well as foreigners have the right to enjoy all rights relating to ownership of their property without any interference either from the State or from individuals.
