Currently on our desk.

A hand-picked shortlist of the developments we're actively placing buyers into this season. Deed category and permission status are stated per project, and confirmed by your own lawyer before you reserve.

Deeds

Stated, with the source

We publish a deed category only where we hold it from a named source, and we show what that source was. Where we do not, the listing says so. Your own lawyer verifies it.

7–10%

Projected rental yield

Short-let managed by the developer or an on-site operator, delivered in GBP. Real returns, not aspirational headline numbers.

50/50

Interest-free plans

Off-plan buyers spread the balance across the build. No banks, no mortgage brokers, no interest.

The North Cyprus proposition

Why buyers look at North Cyprus

The honest version: real benefits, each with the qualification it needs. Scroll through.

sunny days a year

Climate

More than 300 days of sunshine

A Mediterranean climate with a long outdoor season: swimming, coastal walking, cycling, golf and terrace dining for most of the year.

Summers can be extremely hot. We say extended outdoor season, not perfect weather all year.

Lifestyle

A wellness-oriented Mediterranean pace

Sea swimming, mountain hiking, fresh Mediterranean food, quieter coastal roads, and resort spas, gyms and saunas where the development includes them.

This supports everyday wellbeing. We make no claims about longevity or health outcomes, and buyers should confirm healthcare cover and emergency provision.

Value

Mediterranean property at accessible entry points

Coastal apartments and villas priced below many mature Mediterranean resort markets, with large terraces, communal pools and landscaped grounds.

Lifestyle value

Space, views and resort living for the money

Sea and mountain views, beach, marina and golf locations, and modern new-build or off-plan specification with generous outdoor space.

Competitive Mediterranean lifestyle costs, depending on location and spending habits. Imported goods, vehicles, electricity, service charges and exchange rates all change the real figure.

Investment

Capital growth potential, honestly framed

Early-stage and off-plan pricing, stage-linked increases as projects mature, improving infrastructure and limited prime sea-view land.

Capital-growth potential based on location, project maturity and market demand. Values can rise or fall, and past performance and forecasts are not guarantees of future value.

Use

Live in it, let it, or both

A home, holiday base, seasonal let, long-term rental, developer-managed rental or remote-working base, depending on the project and local permissions.

Any rental figure is a forecast, not a promise. Our illustrations include service charges, furnishing, management fees, seasonality, occupancy and maintenance.

Residence

A property-linked residence permit route

Foreign owners may apply for renewable property-linked residence permits, annually for the first three years and potentially two-year permits once title is registered.

Property ownership may support eligibility for a renewable residence permit, subject to current immigration requirements and approval. It is not automatic permanent residency, citizenship or unrestricted work permission.

Location

Well positioned in the Eastern Mediterranean

Between Europe, Türkiye and the Middle East, with frequent Ercan connections to Turkish cities and ferry routes across to Türkiye.

Air connections route through Türkiye rather than as ordinary direct international services. Travel via the Republic of Cyprus and the Green Line is possible, but the route used can have legal consequences.

GBP

commonly transacted

Currency

A sterling-based property market

Many developments are marketed and transacted in British pounds, which is familiar territory for UK buyers and removes one conversion step.

Buyers earning in another currency remain exposed to foreign-exchange movements throughout a staged payment plan.

Place

Beaches, mountains and 10,000 years of history

Mediterranean coves, the Kyrenia range, the Karpaz Peninsula, Salamis, castles and traditional villages, with diving, sailing, golf and hiking.

We present this as a lifestyle asset, not purely a financial product.

Amenities

Genuine resort amenities, clearly labelled

Indoor and outdoor pools, spas, gyms, restaurants, co-working areas, managed beach access, concierge, security and rental management.

We only display amenities that are contractually included, funded and scheduled, and we label each one as completed, under construction or proposed.

Terms

Flexible purchase structures, in full

Off-plan projects can offer staged payments and lower entry prices, which makes ownership more accessible.

Off-plan carries completion, construction, developer and title risk. Every listing shows reservation, deposit, stage payments, final payment, completion date, taxes, service charges, furniture cost and cancellation terms.

How we talk about it

What we will not claim

We do not advertise tax-free overseas income, guaranteed appreciation, guaranteed rental returns or increased longevity. Those claims need qualification, so we qualify them.

North Cyprus may offer tax-planning advantages for some international residents, subject to individual circumstances and professional cross-border advice. Individuals settled in North Cyprus are taxable on income from sources inside and outside North Cyprus under the Income Tax Law.

Nothing here is financial, tax, legal or immigration advice. Values can rise or fall, rental figures are forecasts, and permits are subject to approval. Read our title deed and risk notes.
