Published on 27 November 2006 by Shelter Offshore in Property in North Cyprus
A small team of young British expatriates living in North Cyprus have teamed up to offer their fellow overseas buyers the advice and assistance needed when buying property in Northern Cyprus.
In addition to lending a helping hand with all of the paperwork, legalities and intricacies of both the buying process and the relocation and residency process, this group of expats have teamed up to get the best property prices in North Cyprus for overseas buyers too…sounds like a tall order? Well, we took a closer look…
The British Residents Property Finder Service is a fee free, no obligation service available to anyone thinking about buying a property in TRNC - whether that be their dream home, their retirement villa, an investment property for their growing portfolio or a holiday home in the sun - and it works on a first come first served basis; i.e., if the team are overrun with requests for assistance they put their service on hold temporarily meaning that anyone requiring assistance with buying a property in North Cyprus should get in quick!
The way the property finder service works is very simple - anyone contemplating buying a property or in the process of searching for suitable real estate in TRNC is invited to make contact with the expat service via their website http://www.AboutNorthCyprus.com where they will also find a wealth of independent information about living in, holidaying in and retiring to the island.
All a property hunter has to do is complete a short form on the website that asks for information about the ideal home being searched for. Property buyers are invited to give as much information as they would like to give about the property type they want e.g., villa with pool or apartment on a complex, about the preferred location e.g., mountainous, near the golf course or in Kyrenia and about budget e.g., would like to pay no more than GBP 150,000. With all of this information and a contact email address, those running the service immediately get to work…they address any questions and concerns raised by their fellow overseas buyers and they ultimately offer up suggestions of well built, well located and ideally suitable real estate for the particular buyer in question.
Ongoing, the team works with the individual to firm up on the location, property type and budget based on examples shown of what is available where and for how much, appointments can then be made for a coffee and a chat, for independent advice and for accompanied viewings of potentially suitable real estate.
In terms of getting the best price – because all of those involved in the British Residents Property Finder Service live and work in North Cyprus and have extensive experience of the property industry both in the UK and the TRNC and they approach the industry from various different backgrounds that include conveyancing, estate agency and construction, and because all involved have experience of and influence within the property industry in Northern Cyprus, they haggle, negotiate, argue and deal with the developers, estate agents and vendors, they get extras added on, discounts given and the best price possible secured on each and every deal. It’s a pleasure to watch it happen!
Ongoing, having helped their clients to find the ideal home and having negotiated the best deal, the British Residents Property Finder Service go through the legal stages of the buying process with the purchaser so they know what to expect and navigate the process without stress, they maintain a watchful eye on the progress of any off plan property purchased and can send regular updates with photographic evidence of progress made, they can help the buyer import their worldly goods to North Cyprus, get residency and even get a Turkish Cypriot driving license!
All in all this is an exceptional and original independent service, it really does work and anyone seriously interested in buying property in North Cyprus would be mad to try and go it alone when they could have all of the help, advice and practical help they need for free!
