Question about land in the occupied areas

Postby pantheman » Mon Jan 14, 2008 6:00 pm

I have a few questions for the people in the know.

If a GC has land in the occupied areas, is he free to sell this land?

Assuming he has the title deeds of course.

If a TC has land in the free areas is he allowed to sell as well?

Are there any rules the regulate what can and can't be done?

Where can one find the official standing on this please ?

Any info would be appreciated.

Regarding the qustion

A TC can sell his/her land in the south if he/she left Cyprus before 1974.
If he left after 74 or is living in the north, you must reside in the south for at least 6 months before you can apply to have your property given back to you.

A GC can apply at a the property commission in the north, after applying you can end up with different situations,

1. You can sell your property to the TRNC gov.
2. Have it switched with a TC property in the south
3.It may be given back, if it is not in a military zone or has not been given to another TC as compensation for land lost in the south. If you choose to take it back you can only claim it after a settlement to the cyprus problem.

I don't know if there are other alternatives, these are just some of the cases I've heard about.

I looked into this about a year ago and I was told the same so I agree with the above post ~ unless they have changed the goal posts since which I very much doubt
