Worried About Government Interference with Your Property?

Owning property should come with a sense of security—but what happens when the state steps in and disrupts that? Whether it’s a forced expropriation, a change in urban zoning, or unexpected planning restrictions, these interventions can leave property owners feeling powerless and uncertain about their rights.

At Demetriou & Demetriou LLC, we understand just how complex and frustrating these situations can be. That’s why we’ve built a strong legal team focused specifically on cases involving state intervention in property rights. From expropriation and requisition to planning permissions and return of unused properties, we’re here to stand by your side and protect your interests every step of the way.

With extensive experience in this niche area of property law, we’ve helped numerous real estate owners across Cyprus navigate these challenges—and win. We act quickly, precisely, and always with your best outcome in mind.

How Can We Help You Defend Your Property Rights?

State decisions don’t have to go unchallenged. If your property has been affected by any form of state action, we can help you take the necessary legal steps to question, reverse, or negotiate those decisions. Here’s how working with us can benefit you:

  • Expert Legal Strategy: Our lawyers specialize in state-property disputes. We understand the legal framework, the loopholes, and how to effectively push back against unfair or unlawful actions.

  • Handling a Wide Range of Cases: We deal with everything from forced expropriations and urban zoning changes to planning restrictions and claims for the return of properties not used for their original purpose.

  • Strong Representation: Whether you’re filing an application against the administration or negotiating compensation, we represent your interests with strength and precision.

  • Clear Goals, Clear Communication: We believe in being transparent and proactive. You’ll always know what’s happening, what we’re working toward, and what your options are.

  • Peace of Mind: Property law is stressful enough without legal uncertainty. With us on your side, you’ll feel supported, informed, and confident throughout the process.

Many property owners don’t realize that they have legal options when the state takes action against their land. But with the right legal team, you can stand your ground, protect your investment, and in many cases, achieve a fair resolution or reversal of the decision.

At Demetriou & Demetriou LLC, we don’t just know the law—we know how to apply it where it matters most: to your property, your rights, and your peace of mind.
