Frequently Asked Questions about North Cyprus
Why Invest or Buy Property in North Cyprus
Why should I invest in North Cyprus real estate right now?
Property values in North Cyprus are rising rapidly as the island becomes the “new Dubai” of the Mediterranean. Early investors enjoy high capital growth and strong rental returns. The market still offers affordable entry prices compared to Southern Europe.
What makes North Cyprus different from other Mediterranean destinations?
It combines European lifestyle, year-round sunshine, and extremely low taxes. You can buy luxury sea-view properties at half the cost of Spain or Greece. Legal ownership is secure, and every purchase is fully registered with government authorities.
Are property prices in North Cyprus still affordable?
Yes — prices remain up to 50% lower than in comparable regions like Malta or the Balearics. Investors get high-end quality and prime locations for far less money. This gap means massive future growth potential.
Can I earn good rental income from my property?
Absolutely. Tourism, universities, and digital nomads drive high rental demand all year. Many owners earn 8–12% annual returns from both short- and long-term rentals.
Can I earn good rental income from my property?
Yes — ownership is guaranteed by the North Cyprus government and registered in your name. There are three title types, all transparent and verifiable. With the right legal support, transactions are secure and fast.
Do I get residency if I buy property?
Yes, property buyers automatically qualify for residence permits. This allows you to live, work, and stay long-term in a tax-friendly, English-speaking environment. It’s one of the easiest and most flexible residency programs in the region.
Can I buy property using cryptocurrency or foreign currency?
Yes — North Cyprus accepts multiple payment methods, including EUR, USD, GBP, and crypto. Transactions are private and fast with no restrictions on fund sources. This flexibility attracts modern global investors.
How high are property taxes in North Cyprus?
Extremely low compared to Europe. There’s no annual property tax for many residential units and minimal transfer fees. This makes ownership highly profitable and easy to maintain.
What are the best areas to invest in?
Top investment zones include Iskele Long Beach, Kyrenia (Girne), Famagusta, Esentepe, and Yeni Boğaziçi. Each offers unique advantages — from vibrant city life to tranquil beachfront living. New developments in these areas show the strongest appreciation rates.
How can Cyprus Prime Property help me invest safely?
We work only with the most experienced developers and verified projects. Our team assists you from property selection to legal transfer — all in English, German, and Turkish. You invest securely, profitably, and stress-free.

Question about renting in North Cyprus

Most tenants are European expats, students, and long-term digital nomads. The island’s safe environment and low living costs attract high-quality renters. Investors benefit from consistent demand and timely payments.
Modern sea-view apartments rent for €700–€1,500 monthly, while luxury villas can reach €2,000–€3,000 or more. Short-term holiday rentals often achieve even higher returns. Location, view, and furnishing level greatly affect the rate.
