Revelations of Building Violations Following the Limassol Fire

July 31, 2025

The fire in Limassol revealed building law violations that had been hidden for years. Homeowners need to prove that their properties are legal to receive compensation; otherwise, they will only get 25% of the restoration costs. It is estimated that 20-30% of the damaged buildings lack the necessary permits. The licensing process may be more favorable for some houses within designated residential areas.
