Why To Buy Properties in North Cyprus?

North Cyprus is one of the last remaining unspoiled countries in the Mediterranean and has been experiencing a property boom. The opening of the borders of the Turkish North, the stronger attempts to reunify with the Greek South and the possible entry into the EU, has brought a lot of attention to this small but charming country.

Property prices have increased over 200 per cent during the last five years and show no signs of slowing down, as more and more buyers are being attracted in and demand has now exceeded supply. North Cyprus is an ex-British colony which makes it very attractive for the British expatriates. The Pound Sterling is accepted almost everywhere, cars are driven on the left and English is widely spoken all over the island. The excellent Turkish Cypriot hospitality, great food, low cost of living and over 330 days of sunshine, North Cyprus is a property hot spot.

Being so pretty and competitive unfortunately attracts negative attention as well. Northern Cyprus often falls victim to the Greek Cypriot propaganda that the deeds are not safe but there are always two sides to a story and this statement does fall short of the truth.

The Turkish Cypriot Government proudly announces that under the ruling of the Northern Cyprus’ property laws, thousands of successful sales have been made to foreigners, most of them to the British and almost all of them are proud owners of properties without any problems.

There are many opportunities to discover "underwater" Cyprus. Through local accredited diving schools there is plenty of opportunity to experience diving through shipwrecks, open water diving and deep sea diving, as well as being able to watch the remarkable experience of the green turtle laying her eggs or discover hatchlings on the beaches. North Cyprus beaches hosts some of the most important nesting beaches of the green turtle in the entire Mediterranean.

On land, there are many tourist hot spots of castles, monasteries, convents, museums, galleries, parks and scenic villages just waiting to be explored and high quality modern leisure facilities, including the new 18 hole Alagadi Golf Course, just a 7 minute drive away and the Esentepe Football Field is located 15 minutes away by car.
