LIGHTSTEEL LIVING · NEW-BUILD HOMES ACROSS CYPRUS
We design and build light steel frame homes across the Republic of Cyprus: warm in winter, cool in summer, designed for energy class A. Build on your own plot, or register your interest in our homes with land in Stroumbi, in the hills above Paphos.
Construction takes from 6 months on site. Design and planning permits usually add about 3 months.
One half of a semi-detached pair in Stroumbi, 15 minutes from Paphos. 152 m² over two floors, plus 45 m² of covered terraces, on its own fenced plot with a garden and a carport. Sold off-plan and turnkey, from €290,000 + VAT.
Options such as a facade upgrade, furniture, a fireplace, smart home and appliances are priced separately and listed in your price example.
Plans and visualisations are indicative and subject to planning permission. The final specification is attached to your contract.
Register your interest
Lightsteel Living is based in Paphos. Each home is delivered by one team that we put together and answer for: an architectural practice with UK experience, a frame manufacturer with more than 700 projects behind it, and a general contractor with over 15 years in Cyprus.
We have completed homes in Paphos built with an earlier version of our system, before we added the poured mineral wall core. The first homes with our current system start on site in winter 2026/27.
We're updating our 2026 price examples for each specification:

Yes. It's a load-bearing steel structure, not a prefab cabin. The frame is engineered in 3D and made in a factory to the millimetre, and the walls are filled with a solid mineral core. It's a solid-walled house, assembled in a different way.
The steel is galvanised and sealed inside a closed, dry wall, between cement boards and the mineral core, so it has no contact with the weather. There's nothing organic in the wall for termites, rodents or mould to live on.
The wall core is a mineral composite classed A1, non-combustible, under EN 13501-1. With our Signature facade, the outer layers are A1 too. Fire resistance for a particular home is set in its design, and we'll show you the figures for yours.
A lighter building carries less mass, so the earthquake load on it is lower, and steel bends rather than cracks. Every structure is calculated to Eurocode 3 for its own plot by the project's structural engineer.
Since 2020, the walls of a new home in Cyprus may let through no more than 0.40 W/m²K. Ours let through 0.26 to 0.28, about a third less, with a continuous layer of insulation outside. The house warms up slowly and costs less to cool.
The walls are 232 to 307 mm thick, with 150 mm of dense mineral core. Mass is what stops sound.

Design and planning permits usually take about 3 months. Construction then takes from 6 months on site.
Your contract price is fixed for the specification you choose. Before you sign, we show you exactly what's included and what isn't, such as land, VAT and permits.
If we build on your plot, you own the land and its title deed before we start. Our Stroumbi homes are built on land that Lightsteel Living owns outright: the title deed was registered in July 2026 and shows no charges. You buy from the owner, your lawyer deposits the sale contract at the Land Office, and the title deed for your home is issued once the building is completed, as with any new build. We recommend your own lawyer checks the terms.
Yes. As non-EU citizens, UK buyers need a routine permit to buy property in Cyprus. Your lawyer applies for it on your behalf. Buying a new home from a developer may also qualify you for Cyprus permanent residency; we'll connect you with an immigration lawyer.
Lending rules differ from bank to bank, so we provide the full technical package (structure, thermal performance, material certificates) to any bank or valuer you choose. When you sell, the home goes with the same documents as any other: planning permit, title deed and energy certificate. We don't make predictions about resale prices.
No commitment and no deposit. Tell us about your plans and we'll send you price examples, our buyer's guide and an invitation to see a finished home in Paphos.

Independent consultant for international buyers, working with Lightsteel Living
Elena is a lawyer with extensive experience working with international clients. Four years ago she moved to Cyprus herself, so she knows the move from the buyer's side, not only from the paperwork side. From your first enquiry to the keys, Elena is your single point of contact: she answers your questions, arranges a visit to a finished home, and walks you through every step of the purchase, including the contract and the permission that non-EU buyers need. She works in fluent English and replies to every enquiry personally.
