Summary: For foreign buyers of property in North Cyprus a new free independent service will help them get the best deals
Now that property prices are on the increase again in Northern Cyprus after a brief period of stagnation whilst the wider world waited with baited breath for Cherie Blair to win Linda and David Orams’s North Cyprus property rights case at the High Court in London, a group of British residents have come up with a clever way to help their fellow country men and women pay less for property in North Cyprus by establishing a property finder service.
The service is run by those who have been there, seen it, done it and bought the house in the sun and who know the local market, have contacts with developers and agents in Northern Cyprus, have an understanding of Turkish and who are in a far stronger position to negotiate on behalf of their fellow property buying countrymen – and best of all the service is sponsored independently of the property market in Cyprus making it free, independent and no obligation for the buyer…ShelterOffshore investigates.
For the average price of a studio flat in South Wales or a two bed terraced house in South Cyprus (GBP 101,218 at the time of writing this article) you can get a 160 square meter private villa on an extensive plot of land with sea and mountain views, a private pool and covered garage with air conditioning thrown in in Northern Cyprus…
You see property prices have been kept artificially low by the attack on foreign owners of property in North Cyprus by Greek Cypriot lawyers and by the fact that Northern Cyprus is lesser known than South Cyprus, suffers from embargos and has yet to be allowed direct flights – but – and it’s a substantial but – the wider world is quickly awakening to the fact that property in North Cyprus is now safe to buy and there are castles, unspoiled beaches, stunning views and exceptional weather in Northern Cyprus to boot!
Furthermore direct flights are provided via airports in the South (and sometimes to Ercan in the North too!), Greek Cypriot claims against foreign owners of property in the North are being thrown out of court (thanks to Cherie Blair), tourism is slowly on the increase, the economy in Northern Cyprus is one of the fastest growing in the world and quite simply the shackles and ties that have bound the North are being shaken off and nothing demonstrates this quite as accurately as the movements in the property market.
Times are a’changing – prices are rising fast and developers and agents are keen and quick to cash in on a wave of interest in the housing market but their intense enthusiasm and commitment to sell a property to each interested party who comes through the door could mean that they become guilty of trying to shoehorn a given client into a particular property whether that property be applicable to their needs or not - which is exactly why the concept of buying a property abroad has become synonymous with stressful experiences and disasters.
The creators of AboutNorthCyprus.com are keen to avoid this becoming the case in North Cyprus and have come up with the unique concept of the British residents North Cyprus property finder service which is an independent service, free to readers of the site, which takes the exact requirements of the potential purchaser as the starting point for a home search and which then works with the reader of the site to hone their requirements, view detailed specifications of suitable properties, arrange visits, collate additional and relevant information and photographs and to ultimately seek out good deals, negotiate hard, bargain freely and come up with not only the perfect home solution for the buyer but the absolute best deal available in the marketplace at that time.
As the service takes up a lot of the creators’ time it is limited to a first come first served basis so that those who are interested are advised to fill in the simple contact form straight away with as detailed a breakdown of their property requirements as possible so that they can benefit from the service rather than be disappointed or turned away. This service is truly one of a kind and we love it - for more information about how British residents are finding clever ways to pay less for property in North Cyprus and how you too can benefit click here.
