There is no official policy other than all title deeds are now considered "Turkish" and guranteed by the "state".

But what if the 'state' no longer exists?

I doubt the majority of expat buyers gave a single thought to the ECHR or the rights of the legal owners before buying. Most probably don't know what the ECHR is without Googling.

And for those bleeding hearts who will come up with excuses, the European Court of Human Rights issued repeated decisions clearly saying that the original owners are still the legal owners and that the occupation and acts of the regime do not change that legality.

If inspite of the judgements of Europe's highest court they went ahead and bought, well, tough!

I think it's brown trousers time for a hell of a lot of people when that happens, as I think it will. And I can't see Turkey picking up the tab. Banks are happy to lend when they know they can seize a property in the event of default. So I think the compo will have to be paid by the final occupier.

Ex pats , buying in the occupied part , are generally cheapskates , wanting something on the cheap , they dont give a shit as to legalities and illegalities . I know of one and I know that he is a cheapskate !!
Who on earth would invest money in a part of Cyprus that Turkey occupies and RULES , and the entire international community DOES NOT recognise. A cheap Brit !!

This is what I say regularly on a couple of the NC BBs, although I have to phrase it a different way because I get threats and some pretty vicious abuse. Bear in mind that there are (a few) people who refuse to touch anything unless it is 100% legal and not a displaced person's property.

hey you i'm not a cheap skate. they all purchased greek cypriot property. if you want a cheap house thats what they do. my renovation has cost me much much more than it would have done to buy a house off plan on greek land. some of us brits do have morals. in the event of a solution the trnc will become part of the eu. hence clearing lots of the criminal scum from cyprus. the case with the orams is up for a conclusion before the end of september so i have read. just to let you know friends of our bumped into the infamous orams. they also have another greek owned property in the salamis area. nice people! lots of the expats here are selling up, panic is setting in to some extent. still lots with their heads stuck in the sand. mr t's office did make a statement regarding property. he said that the time had come for a solution, a solution for all cypriot people.the propertyissues would be dealt with according to international law. the way i read into this was, that he was selling the expats out under international law but the cypriots would all be looked after. trouble is they change their minds like the wind.

Rose ... general rule of thumb ... do not trust the word of a Turk! ... (the TCs are no different, except that they also possess a superiority complex above that of the Turks).

The Brits that have become embroiled with the Turks will one day, like the unfortunate GCs ... come-a-cropper!

I don't understand why some unethical British, Scotish and Irish morons support an illegal regime built on stolen land assumed through violence and war. end of story/

I have no particular axe to grind with someone who has bought a TC property (pre 74 deed, not any of the other phoney deeds) in the north of Cyprus.

What I have a problem with is the greedy fuckers who have bought stolen property and land and now have a vested interest in NOT having a solution.
