North Cyprus Property

Are you looking for value for money (cheap and affordable property in Northern Cyprus)?  The good news is that the whole of the North Cyprus property market is much more affordable than the equivalent properties in other comparable European countries, especially in South Cyprus.  This includes villas and apartments at both the luxury and economy price levels.  This is the main reason why many people are attracted to buying cheap property in Northern Cyprus as they seek their dream home in the sun.

There are so many reasons other than cheap prices, for buying North Cyprus property.  ”We should also tell you that Senilk Real Estate properties are offered at the bargaining prices cheaper than elsewhere.” Of course – everyone loves a bargain and sometimes gets the genuine property at discounts or grabs resale homes at special prices below market value.   But here is some important advice:  buying the very cheapest property does not necessarily give you the best value for money and can sometimes lead to unforeseen property problems.   We at Senilk Real Estate will help you buy safely and use our 15 years of experience to avoid any issues in the future.

What factors affect the price of the property?

Your starting point is often to use the property listing portal on our website.  You will often start searching purely by size – the number of bedrooms, area, location, price ranges, etc.  You will have built up an idea of the average prices for a studio, 1, 2 3, or 4-bedroom apartment, villa, or bungalow in the North Cyprus property market.  Then you notice that there is a huge difference in the price range between the cheapest properties, of the same size, and the most expensive.

There are obvious reasons why some properties with the same number of bedrooms would be more expensive or cheaper than other North Cyprus villas or apartments of a similar size.  Bearing in mind that new build properties are generally more expensive in any case, here are the main factors:

  • Location and closeness to beach/sea
  • Quality of Sea/mountain views
  • Quality of build/age
  • Whether new build or resale (new builds are generally higher priced)
  • Quality of furnishings (if included)
  • Facilities on the site (if on a site)
  • Closeness to amenities, shops, restaurants, golf course, etc
  • Closeness to Kyrenia or Famagusta cities
  • Rental Guarantees (for new build)
  • Whether the title deed is ready, whether individual or shared and/or in the owner’s name
  • Whether 5% Vat is paid or still due
If you see a resale property like an apartment or villa, for example, which seems to have everything you wish for and yet it is priced well below market value – even as low as half the price of others which seem similar – you should ask the question: Why is this?

Is a cheap property a genuine bargain?

The short answer is no!  We are talking here about used or “resale” property, as this is usually the cheapest. Generally, both owners and estate agents are fully aware of the market value of a resale property.  This is affected by factors such as size, location, views, quality, etc.  There are of course sometimes genuine used property bargains.  Genuine property discounts would be found when for personal reasons of the owner, the property is priced low for a quick sale – sometimes due to needing to return to a home country for family or health reasons, etc.   In addition, both developers and private owners may be willing to offer discounts for cash purchases more readily in the quieter winter months, than in the summer when there are more visitors viewing properties and properties are selling more quickly.

There are, however, less visible factors that would cause the value of a property to be priced cheaper than the market value and which could potentially cause future problems which could require more investment to correct the problems.   These issues are sadly not things that are always explained to potential purchasers during viewings nor are the factors which are easily visible on first viewing.  These include a long-term lack of title deeds, legal problems connected to the site, unpaid management fees of the previous owner, or problems with the management of a complex.

Properly verified before listing

It is extremely important to go with SRE as we do basic checks and verified on all the properties which we list on our website.  However, SRE is NOT responsible in any way for the accuracy of the property descriptions nor the legal status of any property which appears on our portals. The listing portals are only for marketing purposes. Please read our Terms and Conditions as well as the Disclaimers that they have no responsibility for the legalities of any property advertised on their sites.

You MUST use an independent and competent lawyer and never send any deposit or money to anyone unless legal checks have been carried out. At Senilk Real Estate (SRE) we try to check and verified the status of all properties prior to listing.  This means that our properties listed on the websites are well-documented and we oftentimes confirm all listings from other estate agencies and agents.  We refuse to list properties that have issues with their paperwork or other legal issues.   We want you to have genuine value for money whilst buying affordable Senilk Real Estate property with no hiccups!

Questions to as:

A reputable agent should immediately be able to answer and explain why! Every property built has to have 5% vat paid to the government.  You need to check whether it’s been paid on the property you wish to buy.  If the Title Deed is not yet in the owner’s name, you may have to pay it again, even if it has been paid. At SRE we recommend that the deposit is ONLY paid to your chosen North Cyprus-based lawyer. This is because the lawyer still needs to verify the information above, as well as carry out other checks on whether or not there are any outstanding debts, mortgages, or other legal issues associated with the land on which the property is built.

    naturally like your web site however you need to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth on the other hand I will surely come again again.
