How to Find the Best Property Deals in North CyprusThis article is being written in direct response to a growing number of emails that we’re receiving from readers attracted by the stunning natural beauty of North Cyprus and the inimitable value for money that property in Northern Cyprus represents, but who want to know how to find the best property deals in North Cyprus and safely and securely realize their dream of owning a home in the sun.

North Cyprus is a country that receives both extremes of positive and negative profiling in the press which makes it hard for those researching their options to make a considered and careful decision about which property deal is the best property deal.  In this article we’re not going to discuss politics, propaganda or projections, we’re going to present facts about which types of property are internationally recognized, which resources can be trusted and how to find the best property deals in North Cyprus.

First things first let’s dispel myths about title deeds in North Cyprus – for those who are totally risk averse or for one reason or another wish to refrain from purchasing title deeds recognized and legalized by the government of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus but who still recognize the fact that property for sale in North Cyprus is undervalued and therefore a fantastic investment commodity, there are actually properties and land available for sale with internationally recognized title deeds.

Properties and land for sale in North Cyprus with Pre 1974 Turkish Title or Pre 1974 Foreign (N.B., not Greek or Greek Cypriot) Title are internationally, globally and universally accepted as legal, legitimate and ‘safe’ to buy.  Properties and land for sale with these title deeds are getting rarer as the profile of North Cyprus is raised and more and more people are rushing to the island to buy investment property, second homes, retirement real estate or a brand new place in the sun…however they do exist!

Anyone who requires truly independent advice about property purchase in North Cyprus should speak to as broad a range of those who have already purchased homes and property investments on the island as possible – but at the same time remember it is always those who have something to complain about who speak loudest!  So while reading forums and blogs is a good starting point, actually traveling to North Cyprus and getting out and about and meeting expatriate home owners (they can usually be found lazing by their swimming pools – jammy people!) and gauging their opinions and garnering their insight is a good idea. 

Another option available to readers of AboutNorthCyprus.com is making use of their free, unique and independent North Cyprus Property Finder Service where you tell them your requirements and they do all the hard work for you.  They take your details and your property wish list and go house hunting for you, you’re under no obligation to buy any properties they find but because they have direct access to the entire property market in Northern Cyprus they usually end up providing more than enough good choices!

And finally, to fully answer the enquiries received from those who wish to learn about how to find the best property deals in North Cyprus we recommend doing as much research into which estate agents represent the best developers and which developers build the best quality properties on the island.  Some research can be conducted online via independent information websites such as About North Cyprus which contains great background reading about living, working, buying and owning property on the island, and some has to be done in person by coming to North Cyprus, driving round, physically touching and feeling properties, examining the quality and speaking to those who have already bought from a given developer.  Only then will you truly understand what represents a good deal and how to go about securing one for yourself- good luck and happy hunting.
