Buying land in Northern Cyprus

Foreign citizens have the right to acquire any desired property in North Cyprus and there are no limitations whether buying land, villa, apartment, commercial or Investment property.

Landowners or developers may also take out mortgages on land. If you sign a contract and there’s already a mortgage, loan or claim on the land, you’re likely to become liable for that mortgage should the landowner declare bankruptcy.

Ask a lawyer to check for mortgages placed on the land through the Land Registry. If you’re made aware of a mortgage before signing a contract, it’s unlikely you’ll obtain deeds in your name until the mortgage is paid off.
