The North
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.

The British High Commission in Cyprus gives the following advice:
"You should seek legal advice and be certain that the person from whom you are purchasing the property is the legal owner with pre-1974 provenance.
This is necessary to prevent the possibility of losing your property in the event of a solution to the Cyprus property question"
