Re: Are Cyprus banks really cancelling morttgages of Brits?

My UK landlord tells me that is true. He has a Bank of Cyprus mortgage and says they have told him to pay it off before the end of 2025 because of Brexit. He was going to sell the house but will now borrow in UK to pay it off.

Does anyone have experience of having a house painted internally recently ? I am wanting to get a decorator to give us estimates to paint the walls in our 3 bedroom house and any recommendations would be welcome. Just wondering what sort of number to expect, obviously it depends on the size of the h...

Long term rentals

We have lived in Tala, in the same rented house, for 11 years, but because of Brexit (I don’t understand why, but not important to me), my UK landlord has decided that he needs to sell the property. We still have a house in the UK that we rent out, so am looking for a long term rental in the Paphos ...

Re: Suspected Frozen Shoulder

I had a frozen shoulder about 5 years ago. Went to my GP, MRI scan within an hour (pre Gesy). Saw a specialist who proposed physio rather than an operation to fix it. I had put up with it for quite some time and it was quite bad the physio said. 8 months of physio 3 times a week was not an experienc...

Re: Freedom 24 Banking & Savings

Can you use Chase if you are resident in Cyprus ? I thought that you had to have a UK address.

Smoked Haddock

Does anyone know if there is anywhere in Paphos you can buy Smoked Haddock ? We used to get it from the fish shop on TOTK road in Kissonerga but it is now closed. My wife says the fish pie she makes isn’t as good without it.

Re: MUKW/Cyprus Driving Licence

Recently done ours. It is a straight forward process, even if the place is a bit chaotic. Go after 9.30 am, tell the guy at the desk you want to change your licence. He sends you to the door on the left, room 8. When called in they go through your documents then send you back out to get a number and...

Re: Prostate Problems

Trev - I had a similar problem a few years ago. I had an operation called a TURP to remove a lot of my prostate, there is loads of information on it with google. Mine was done privately, under general anaesthetic with one night in hospital. Apart from being a bit tender for a few days, I don’t recal...

Amazon UK only show stock available for delivery to your location. Try a location in in UK as they do not deliver Kindles to Cyprus. Not sure about Amazon.de

Reupholster recommendations

Does anyone have a recommendation for someone to reupholster a three piece suite please. Any experience of this would be much appreciated. My wife has been looking at new suites and now wonders , as it is only the leather that has worn, whether we could just get that replaced.

Thanks in advance
