A new online land registry portal will soon be available, Senior Land Inspector Elikkos Elia said on Monday.
The new portal aims to help people who want to use the services of the land registry database by making it easier and faster and more efficient.
“The Department recognizes the importance of providing information to citizens in a simple, understandable and friendly way through its website,” Elia said.
“The Land Registry Portal is making the necessary changes to improve and make it easier for citizens to find the information they need about the application process, required documents, the fees they have to pay, and information about the progress of the application they have submitted,” he added.
In addition, Elia encouraged all property owners who have not yet done so to create an account on the land registry portal.
Once registered, property owners can access their personal page to track the progress of their applications.
“The Land Registry Portal is a central point of reference for all applications submitted, as well as a platform for two-way communication with citizens, while minimizing the need to ask questions, both electronically and by phone, saving department staff time,” concluded Elia.
