I'd be interested to know what current values are or what stuff has been selling for even in this rubbish market. I bought a Pre-74 title two-storey old house on half a donum, corner plot, Upper Kyrenia, for £32K Sterling in 2001. I'm probably best to sit on it but I didn't have two small children costing the earth back then! I've never had it valued and probably wouldn't trust an estate agent whatever they said, so any anecdotal evidence is welcome.

The Kyrenia District had fewer Turkish inhabitants/legitimate land owners than all other Districts of Cyprus. If there is a massive drop in land owned legitimately by Turkish Cypriots because it has all been sold to foreigners for holiday homes,the effect will be that even fewer Turkish Cypriots have legal title in this District. What will happen if no Turkish Cypriot actually has legal title to any land in the district? It will weaken the Turkish Cypriot position significantly.

The other thing to observe is unmasking of carpet baggers' support for the Turkish Cypriots for their own means. I find it interesting that during the property bubble Carpet baggers surfaced all over the comments section in Newspapers dealing with the Cyprus Problem posting words to the effect of " Greek Cypriots 'attacked' Turkish Cypriots in the early 1960's therefore our illegal titles bought on the cheap from the back of a truck, should be legalized". I expect a withdrawal of support as property speculators look for somebody to blame (not themselves) for their greed and risk taking.

Has it been modernised yet or is it still the old Cypriot room layout. What about plumbing/electrics?

Spent about £20K at the time overhauling the roof, rewiring, re-plumbing, new bathroom, kitchen etc and changed the layout a bit so it now has four bdrms upstairs. It's got an arch and flagged floors. Presumably a landline counts for something.

Always better to go for the traditional look if you want to fit in with the area, I agree. Troodos a must for the summer. Kakopetria's my personal favourite village.

Also have all my deeds, GC and TC. BTW by "legal" do you mean paying the contractor cash or doing it through the books and copping VAT?
