Six thousand buildings without a committee
The Land Registry counted the jointly owned buildings in Cyprus and the ones with no registered committee. The number is national. What it means for Limassol is our own arithmetic, and we say so.
In April 2026 the Department of Lands and Surveys put numbers on something everyone in the trade knew: a large share of the apartment buildings in Cyprus have no registered management committee.
The numbers, as published
| Buildings | Residential units | |
|---|---|---|
| Jointly owned buildings, Cyprus | 20,919 | 219,635 |
| With a registered committee | 14,208 | 159,659 |
| Without one | 6,711 | 59,976 |
One publication, reported in the press on 22 April 2026, from the Land Registry’s own figures. Roughly one building in three, and about 60,000 apartments, have no registered committee.
What “no registered committee” means
Nobody the law recognises holds the building’s money, signs its contracts or answers to the owners. In some of these buildings a committee exists in practice and simply never filed the form. In many, nobody has called a meeting in years. Either way, no management company can sign with a building that has no committee, and no bank will open an account for one.
Limassol, our arithmetic
The Land Registry has not published the figures by district. By Limassol’s share of the country’s apartment stock, the number of such buildings in the city is somewhere between 1,500 and 1,800. That is our own calculation, on a share, and it should be read as an order of magnitude, nothing more precise.
What we do with it
These buildings are the slow road. They will not sign in a week; they need a meeting first, then a committee, then the form. We walk that road with them, and the page for it is here.
