What currency are prices in, and how do I get a current price?

New build prices in North Cyprus are customarily quoted in pounds sterling. We do not publish price lists because developer prices and campaigns change quickly — request the current price and payment plan on each development's page, in English.

Can I buy remotely from the UK?

Much of the process — shortlisting, comparisons, video tours and correspondence — can be handled remotely. We still recommend viewing in person and instructing an independent lawyer in North Cyprus before signing; ask your lawyer which steps can be completed under power of attorney.

Buying a New Build in North Cyprus: A Practical Guide

Q: Can foreigners buy property in North Cyprus?

Yes. Foreign buyers purchase through a permission-to-purchase (permit) procedure. The rules were updated in 2026: there is a general cap on the number of apartments per buyer, the sales contract must be registered within a set period, and title transfer follows the permit. The exact conditions depend on your nationality and any property you already own.

The right order for buying in North Cyprus (TRNC) is not "browse prices" — it is: first confirm your right to buy, then the real total cost, then the area, and only then the development. Foreign buyers go through a permit procedure, and the rules were updated in 2026. Prices are customarily quoted in pounds sterling — convenient if your budget is already in GBP.

What UK and international buyers should know

Right to buy and the permit: foreign purchases are subject to permission; under the 2026 rules there is a general cap on apartments per buyer (with a higher tier for citizens of certain states), the contract must be registered with the District Land Office within a set period, and duties are paid after the permit is published, followed by title transfer. Key distinction: handover of keys ≠ transfer of title — they are separate stages.
Budget in sterling: quoted prices are in GBP; allow for taxes, duties and legal fees on top of the sale price.
Choosing an area: for year-round living most buyers look at Kyrenia (Girne); for a university-driven rental model, Famagusta; for a holiday-plus-letting mix, Iskele / Long Beach — factor in seasonality (strong summers, quiet winters).
Shortlist and verify: compare developments by delivery date, unit types and location in the current North Cyprus listings, and request the up-to-date price and payment plan on each development's page.
The transaction: instruct an independent lawyer licensed in North Cyprus before signing; agree with them which steps can be completed under power of attorney.

Three common mistakes of remote buyers

Planning around stale prices: prices in videos and old listings date quickly — always request the current price for the specific development.
Confusing delivery date with title date: they are separate stages; check how your contract defines both.
Deciding on a video tour alone: video tours are for shortlisting; make the final decision after viewing in person and completing legal checks.
