Hi Aidy,
I suggest you ignore Thrill's rather pointed response. I doubt he's spam emailed you as this is an illegal practice anyway. What he's trying to say is that you should make yourself fully aware of the implications of living in northern Cyprus. If you rent accommodation, it is still possible that the place you will rent could be built on land that pre-1974 was the home of a GC forced to move south. If you buy, the pitfalls are even more obvious and I'd suggest you look at the Foreign Office advice on buying in northern Cyprus.
I think it's simply a case of doing some background reading on the Cyprus problem, if you're living there you will be living with it after all.
I'm also not sure what your status would be if your address was in the north. You would probably not be permitted to apply for RoC citizenship since you are not living in territory under its control. The working visa situation is less problematic because as an EU citizen you are entitled to work in the RoC regardless. Whether some of the employers would give you a job if your address is in the north is another question. What I'm trying to say is that this is a
very touchy issue for most Cypriots and one that you should approach with a great deal of tact and caution.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
