Title Deeds
Communal Areas – Information
This note briefly explains communal ownership; no action is needed.
Ownership: The communal gardens and pool legally belong to the whole Peyia Crown plot: the apartments and four villas. Only the apartment owners may use them.
In Cyprus, land is often not fully divided when complexes are completed. Here, the communal land has not been separated for the four apartments alone.
The communal land includes the gardens and pool. We own about 25%; the four villas own about 75%, as recorded in the title deeds. Each apartment also uses an unofficially assigned garden area.
The villa owners are not involved in managing our communal area. In practice, both sides keep separate, but shared ownership still carries legal responsibilities, including privacy, health, and safety.
Deeds & Horizontal Plans
The horizontal plans cover all three levels. Our deeds show private and communal areas, but plan errors affect their accuracy.
Storeroom behind 101: Not shown on the horizontal plans or deeds.
Lower communal area, including the 101/102 and pool levels: This area is wrongly labelled as a “room” rather than a “yard”; its square metreage matches the gardens and pool, not a room.
Spiral stairwell stonework for 201: Still shown in its original planned position.
Deed Amendments
Ideally, the four apartments would own all communal land, with gardens formally allocated and the pool/shared space divided between us. The errors could be corrected, but updating all deeds would likely be too costly.
