Hi, we are thinking of investing in a property in North Cyprus and wondered if anyone has any advice, bad or good experiences of doing this? Any advice would be appreciated

Hi John, just general things really, the main problem we have is we have heard that maybe one day when things get back on an *even par* with southern cyrus that they will claim the land back from northern areas and people that have purchased will have the property snatched back!!!

The best thing you can do is come out and have a look if you haven't already,as far as there being a settlement in my opinion that is many years away if ever,what we have seen since we have been here is that the Greek's seem to hate the Turks & the Turks trust the Greeks about as far as they can throw them which would be not very far. This problem has been going on now for 33 years & I can see no way that the Turkish Cyps would ever give up this part of the Island & go back to being ruled by the Greeks which is what a settlement would mean.

I have yet to meet a Turkish Cyp that is in favour of reuniting with the Greeks I think that say's it all.

If you want to know any details about living here let me know & I will try to help

No, I live in the legal part of Cyprus. I don't know how anyone can countenance living in property that has been stolen from someone else due to war. Shame on you.

If you want to try either of these BB I am sure you will find them most helpfully with your electric question.

Alassa you presume to much, you know nothing of my circumstance nor weather I live on Turkish land Greek land or pre 74 International title land, from your bigoted attitude I can only assume that you are a GC if that is not the case you are a very uneducated Ex-Pat

Now you see John, no where in my post does it accuse you directly of anything. You sound very defensive, I wonder why? As for me being uneducated..... try using the spell check before posting.

Hi all.

I'm new to this thread after having been thwarted in my attempts to buy a flat in Goa.

I've bought off plan with Yigor in Arapkoy at Chesley Village.

I don't feel worried about the title issue at the moment as I feel the stand off between the 2 sides is pretty well the norm for the future.

I was advised by my Cypriot lawyer that the TRNC are issuing titles and that they are effectively underwritten by the Turkish Govt.

Takes about 2 years at the mo due to the backlog.

Frank and Joan are a couple of Brits very happily living in Northern Cyprus and what they don't know about it doesn't seem to exist. They have a very entertaining site relating their adventures and daily life there. Good luck!

I would tend to agree with this but then, when did morality ever mean anything in the Cypriot property market? As for any such deals being underwritten by the Turkish Governement-well whats that worth?

I think its a very brave move to buy property somewhere with such an uncertain future. Frank and Joans diary state:
which may be the case- except after visiting other parts of Cyprus, for some reason I'm just not convinced. Every Cypriot we got chatting to in various areas was keen to tell us about the day they will reclaim their land, how their family was massacered and their houses stolen. None we met seemed to have moved on or accept they had lost part of their country.
We noticed all the telephone boxes STILL list a Famagusta dialing code with the notice "temporarily out of service"- um just a bit!
With Turkey keener than ever to enter the EU and Cyprus already in there.....I wouldn't be holding my breath nor investing life savings.
