| Help. Having researched into buying a home in Cyprus I came across some information which I need help with. If I want to buy I have to provide a police check from the local police station in my home UK address. Back in 2006 I was stupid enough to obtain a criminal record. Does anyone have experience of this? How strictly are the checks applied? What can be done to overcome this issue? Any information would be helpful. Thanks |

| If you have researched buying a house in Cyprus, you'd have come to the conclusion 'Don't buy, Rent!' |

| The police check is purely to check that you are not wanted for a crime currently and does not concern old convictions, so I am told !! |

| I think having a criminal record to reside over here is a mandatory prerequisite!!!! On a serious note you would probably be best discussing this with a local solicitor AND you may be in the difficult (and rare) position of having to complete your PTP process before you buy (big time delay) just to be absolutely OK before parting with large amounts of cash. Could I suggest you buy the property in your husband's name.. then no problem about your criminal record biting you at all? |

| I just heard the other day that somebody's sale fell through because the buyer had a criminal record and would not be allowed to purchase. This is just hearsay though. I don't know for sure. |

| Would that be the same Asil Nadir who allegedly had a certain Finance Minister filling envelopes with cash and arranging for them to be taken offshore. Does that mean he threw them in the sea? |
