Over the past eighteen months, both myself and other British and foreign national property owners that I am in touch with and communcate with regularly, have all confessed that we as a group of overseas investors into Cyprus real estate, have all been forcefully ousted from our properties by the presence of refugees. We own properties in the attached newspaper clip (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-3003199/Video-Former-three-star-Cyprus-resort-400-migrants-lived-squalor.html). Several of properties that have been affected have been completely vandalised, we have video evidence from a number of owners who visited their residential developments last year. Local newspaper reports have disclosed constant riots, outbreak of fires etc. (https://knews.kathimerini.com.cy/en/news/riot-police-move-in-after-chloraka-brawl) Despite owning legitimate properties, we have had our properties broken into, and those residential developments now a home to hundreds of refugees. Some refugees have confessed to us, our property managers and the police that the property developer put them there. The illegal break-ins and theft of our belongings happened during the Covid 19 pandemic when we could not travel due to high infection rates and deaths. This activity is still continuing.There are presently refugees living in our properties without our consent. The affected residential developments have transformed into very dangerous ghettos, declared unfit for human habitation and dangerous.
Reason
My personal concern is how this could be allowed to happen in a European Union country. Our cries for help in Cyprus is all in vain, not enough is being done for us. All victims are looking to Cyprus Government to:
1. Establish a task force dedicated to addressing the property-related crimes affecting us and provide support to affected property owners.
2. Facilitate the creation of a comprehensive legal framework that safeguards the property rights of overseas investors and imposes stringent penalties on those who engage in criminal activities.
3. Ensure that property owners are provided with compensation, and restitution for their homes and losses as a result of these criminal acts.
