According to Cyprus Today (18.06.16) the good news is that the Auction has been cancelled. The bad news is that this auction which was called as a result of the builder’s original loan being increased to £3m because it had not been repaid is only being cancelled for the Aphrodite 2 site. The builder blamed the 50 property purchasers for not paying for properties despite this one purchaser confirming that they had paid everything only to discover that there was a mortgage on his property. When this was confirmed Aphrodite 2 was removed from the auction which will then continue as planned but will only include ‘bare land’, just as the K5 auction properties were described.

The Lefkosia mayor, Mehmet Harmanci, who did not participate in the voting, stated that this decision would send a message to the officials involved in the project to re-evaluate setting such a high price for the water.
