Buyer guidance

A clearer route to the right property.

The exact legal and financial requirements can change. This guide explains a sensible process, not legal or financial advice.

01

Define the brief

Set a realistic budget and decide how you plan to use the property, which locations suit you and what is essential.

02

Build a focused shortlist

Compare suitable homes and developments. Ask about running costs, completion status, access, services and what is included.

03

View and inspect

View in person where possible. For a chosen property, use an appropriately qualified independent surveyor or technical adviser.

04

Appoint an independent lawyer

Choose your own lawyer with relevant North Cyprus property experience before signing documents or transferring substantial funds.

05

Complete due diligence

Your lawyer should check ownership, permissions, encumbrances, contracts and the approvals that apply to your circumstances.

06

Contract, approvals and handover

Proceed only when you understand the contract, payment schedule, costs, permissions and conditions for transfer and handover.
