Cost of Building a Swimming Pool on a Property in North Cyprus
The most common sized swimming pool would be 4 X 8 meters, this would cost around £16,000 to build. The cost of a 5 X 10 meter pool is around £21,000. It is very important to get planning permission if you are going to get a swimming pool built, or to check that the property you are buying has the necessary planning permission if it already has a swimming pool. It is routine to receive the planning permission, but there is a cost involved as the plans need to be made by a qualified architect. Once building permission has been granted and the swimming pool is completed, then the pool should been checked by the Land Registry that it has been built as per the building permission, and then final approval is granted. The next step is to register the pool on the title deeds.
