Is buying property in North Cyprus a good investment?

Yes, investing in North Cyprus property is currently highly regarded due to its significant capital appreciation potential (driven by tourism growth and rising demand from international buyers) and strong rental yield potential, especially in key areas like Kyrenia, Esentepe, and Iskele. Property prices are generally lower than in South Cyprus or other Mediterranean locations, offering a competitive entry point for investors.

Can foreigners own freehold property in North Cyprus?

Foreign nationals can legally purchase and own freehold property in North Cyprus. However, there is typically a limit of one property per person (or per couple). The process requires obtaining permission to purchase (PTP) from the Council of Ministers, which your legal representative will manage. This process ensures the property is registered correctly under your name.

What are the buying costs (taxes and fees) for property in North Cyprus?

The main costs associated with buying property include: **Title Deed Transfer Fee** (6% of the contract price, often reduced to 3% for first-time buyers); **VAT (KDV)** (5% for new properties); and **Stamp Duty** (0.5% upon signing the contract, or 6% if paid at the title deed transfer stage). Legal fees for solicitor services are additional. We recommend budgeting approximately 10-12% of the purchase price for all associated costs.

Is the title deed (Koçan) secure in North Cyprus?

The security of the title deed depends on the type of title deed held. **Turkish Title Deeds** (pre-1974) and **Exchange Title Deeds** (issued to those who exchanged land in the South for land in the North) are widely considered the most secure and internationally recognized. **TMD/Leasehold** deeds are less common for investment purposes. It is crucial to use a reputable, independent solicitor to verify and guarantee the title deed's security.

What is the capital gains tax on selling property in North Cyprus?

Capital Gains Tax (CGT), also known as Withholding Tax, is paid on the profit made from the sale of the property. For non-professional sellers, there is a tax-free allowance. Once this allowance is used, the tax rate on the profit is currently **4.25%**. For professional sellers/developers, the rate is 6.25%. Consulting with a local tax expert is essential to optimize your sale.
