How Iolouma chooses a plot in Limassol
Zoning, orientation, neighbours, drainage and exit routes — the checks made before a plot is bought.
Zoning before price
The first check is the planning zone: permitted density, height, coverage and setbacks. A cheap plot with a restrictive zone produces an awkward building, and no amount of design recovers it.
What the neighbours will become
We model what can legally be built on every adjacent plot, not what stands there today. A view that depends on a neighbour never building is not a view.
Ground and water
Soil investigation, groundwater level and stormwater routing decide the basement strategy and a large share of the cost. Getting this wrong is the classic source of a six-month delay in Limassol.
