North Cyprus Property Developments offer value for money

The officially known Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has upped its stakes in the overseas property game with a recent announcement by the Government to declare the Northern sector of Cyprus a tax-free shopping haven, in the hope that it will provide a further boost to North Cyprus property investment. Non-Resident Shoppers can claim a complete cash or credit card refund of their 15% value added tax (KDV) on Jewellery, clothing, fabric, perfume, electrical goods, mobile phones, sunglasses, computers, cameras and shoes at dedicated tax refund offices as they leave the country via main air and seaports. This further reduces the prices for goods that are already far cheaper than mainstream Europe and constitutes massive saving for shoppers. Further tourism encouragement comes in the form of VAT reducing on local handicraft items aimed at highlighting North Cyprus as a shopping haven similar to that of Gibraltar.
Property prices in Northern Cyprus remain lower than its Southern counterpart mainly due to often unfair generalisations leading to uncertainty surrounding the legal status of property in North Cyprus. However the ‘YES’ vote in 2004 to the Annan Plan for peaceful reunification of Cyrpus resulted in EU aid and an direct increase in Foreign Direct Investment leading to improvements in infrastructure, amenities and the decision by many to invest in North Cyprus property development.
Latest releases onto the North Cyprus property market include:
Sweetwater Bay enjoys a stunning seafront location east of Kyrenia below the picturesque village of Tatlisu. Access via the new coast road improves travel times to Ercan airport (serviced by Cyprus Turkish Airlines) from several UK airports. The development site has been designed to include a wide range of property types from to garden apartments and penthouses with prices starting at ₤48,000 rising to ₤142,00 for Bungalows and villas. Onsite attractions comprise a variety of public features and facilities, including swimming pools, dining, recreation and access to a private beach.
Property construction will be completed over three phases (November 2007 (phase I), May 2008 (phase II) and November 2008 (phase III). Public facilities will be completed within phase II.

foreign) Title. The safest and best, but almost impossible to find nowadays, especially close to the sea TRNC Esdeger (Exchange) Title means that the Turkish Cypriot owner has been given this land in exchange for the equivalent piece of land they owned in the South.

Do you know anything about Wellington Estates Ltd who are developing in Nothern Cyprus, and if so, are they a good company?

Guy,
My best advice to you is to go and look for some Northern Cyprus property forums and see if anyone has posted on the specific company you are interested in.

I believe, whoever buys property in Northern Cyprus, is entering into costly legal battles. Under no circumstances such an investment can be considered a wise one in terms of profit or in terms of common sense. Buying land from people who stole it from their legitimate owners is definately not a very smart move and can not stand in court! Not to mention that it is a highly unethical transaction.

Dear Tatiana
I guess that you are not biosed at all in regard to TRNC and the property development going on over there.
).
But one should analys the situation and understand that it is a done deal - nothing could alter the situation. TRNC is there to stay and so are the properies.
Trying to ’scare’ people is just a waste of time - it is your right to waste it - but I ‘advise’ you not to.
About the stealing so called - once you have some proof you could present them - not to mention the land of the turkish ppl who got killed by the ‘not turkish’ ones(can you gggguese by whom???
So dear Tatiana - I’m sure you are always on track for the right facts and doing it in good faith.
Take Care

I have just returned from North Cyprus,and found it to be a fabulously beautiful country.The people were fantastic.
I went to investigate buying property,and was stunned.The quality and value for money must rate amongst the best in Europe.The number of 5 star hotels under construction indicates to me,that a lot of powerful players are moving in,and that it is only a matter of time before the doors open.
I was so impressed,that my global search is over,and I am now in the process of buying my fantasticslly cheap villa there.
Don’t beleive the hype,join in before it is discovered.
