The area I’ve worked in the longest

I help you buy for living, for holidays or to rent out: new builds by the sea, ready apartments and villas. I explain how Northern Cyprus differs from the South and which risks to consider.

I work with developers and lawyers I’ve vetted myself. Most of the deal can be done remotely, and you fly over when it suits you to see the property.

Questions about Northern Cyprus

Can I buy property without flying to Cyprus?

Yes, most of the deal can be done remotely: I send video tours of the properties, a lawyer checks the contract, and documents are signed by power of attorney.

Still, I advise seeing the property with your own eyes — I’ll help plan the trip.

How does a developer’s installment plan work?

Many developers offer interest-free installments until the house is completed: a down payment, then payments on a schedule.

Terms differ from one to the next, so I compare them in advance and fix them in the contract.

Does buying give the right to a residence permit?

Property owners can apply for a residence permit. The requirements change from time to time, so I’ll go over the current terms at the consultation.

How is Northern Cyprus different from the South?

They are different jurisdictions with different purchase rules, prices and risks. Northern Cyprus is cheaper and easier to enter, but there are nuances with land title documents and recognition.

I’ll tell you honestly what this means for your goal, before you choose a property.
