Types of real estate documents in Cyprus

Before examining the types of real estate deeds in Northern Cyprus, it is necessary to know a brief introduction to the history of the dispute between Northern and Southern Cyprus. After the end of the Cyprus civil war about 40 years ago, a border wall was erected between the north and south. The northern part was renamed the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and the southern part was renamed the Greek Cypriot Republic. In the meantime, the property of some people lived on one side of the border and themselves on the other. Suppose a person owns property in the territory of Northern Cyprus and is a native of Southern Cyprus or vice versa. Therefore, different civil documents emerged after the peace negotiations.

Real estate documents in Northern Cyprus are divided into three categories:

Turkish Cypriot title deed (Turkish Title)

The document belongs to the land that was originally owned by the Cypriots and the people of Northern Cyprus and is now located in Northern Cyprus. This means that there has been no dispute over the ownership of this property. This type of document is the most expensive type of real estate document in Northern Cyprus.

Cyprus Real Estate Exchange Type

Since both sides and the governments had lands on the other side, after the peace talks, the governments exchanged the lands by valuing the lands. That is, a number of lands within the territory of Northern Cyprus that belonged to the Southerners were legally and officially exchanged by paying money to the Southerners or by transferring the Northern Cyprus lands located in the Southern Territory to them. Most of the land in Cyprus is like this, and if you ask the registry office, they are exactly the same land as the Turkish document.

Suspended property deed

These properties do not have a specific status or are in the process of being exchanged. Purchasing and construction on these properties should be avoided as much as possible, as it is possible to terminate the ownership in the context of the connection and integration of the northern and southern parts and the formation of the Republic of Cyprus.

Note: All properties offered and transferable by us with official inclusion in the document have Turkish or exchange documents and can be inquired from the Cyprus Registry.

Possibility of unification of Northern and Southern Cyprus

If peace talks between the two Cypriots succeed at the UN, Northern Cyprus will be considered part of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus, a member of the European Union, which, according to experts, will increase housing prices by 2.5 to 3 times. At the moment, the price of a property in Southern Cyprus is up to 2.5 times the price of a property in Northern Cyprus.
