Making a lot of assumptions

In response to a letter from Mr A.P. Loizou published on August 9, reading between the lines, I suspect the author to be none other than Mr Antonis Loizou of real estate fame, and therefore seriously connected to and in favour of major developers throughout Cyprus.

Either way, what concerns me is that this person is making a lot of assumptions in his letter about a Mr Davis of Droushia, and I wonder whether this Mr Davis is unable to accept Mr Loizou’s rude advice to leave the country because he cannot sell his property because he does not have a title deed.

I wonder if Mr Loizou owns any property where the developer refuses to give him the title deed. I seriously doubt it.

The land office needs organising to issue all new title deeds on the day of a property sale completion, just like the rest of the EU.

and the banks need to police their development loans effectively in order to prevent lending on sold properties so this situation never arises again.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
