If you are thinking of buying property in Northern Cyprus, please think very carefully.

The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that any property transactions undertaken by the authorities in the North are considered illegal under International Laws.

92% of the legitimate title-deed holders of the North continue to be Greek refugees who were forcibly removed in 1974. Accordingly, it is highly likely that the property you may be asked to buy is constructed on Greek Cypriot owned land.

Under any potential settlement, the right to property will be retained by the legitimate owners (Greek Cypriot refugees) as confirmed by the United Nations and as such any illegal purchases will be nullified.
