As a complete novice to this site, does all this mean that it would be folly for a Brit to consider buying a property in the north? Does it also help to explain why such properties are so cheap? Finally, would it be possible to visit the south and the north via Larnaca to compare the two or would that be impossible?

lion you can visit both sides of the divide no problem....with regards to property you are a very brave person bringing it up on this forum.

don't you have enough thieves in the north?

and what's the thief quota these days?

lionheart69uk welcome to the forum.The Brits are well know as easy targets by the Spanish" mafia" dealing in time share , these crooks are mostly Brits themselves and know their own better than most. One thing they know well is innocent gullibility of Brits buying abroad. In the occupied part of Cyprus - I use the word occupied since the entire world , excluding Turkey , the occupiers , refer to it as such.
Now here we have Brits again running "estate agencies ! in the occupied part dealing in mostly property that does not belong to the seller and does not have deeds that are internationally recognised as official collateral. Try borrowing money from any Bank in the world by offering deeds issued by the non recognised "trnc"
Now why do Brits buy in the occupied part , Simple . Cheap , same as goods off the back of a lorry .

The UK foreign office has an official warning when it comes to purchasing in the north of Cyprus . Get their advice and act accordingly.

Slight correction you can borrow on these deeds in Turkish Lira, US Dollars, Sterling and Euros in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus from most local banks.

This is from the official site of the UK Foreign office >

""""Property issues are closely linked to the political situation. There are a number of potential practical, financial and legal implications, particularly for those considering buying property in the north. These relate to the non-recognition of the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus", the suspension of EU law in northern Cyprus, the possible consequences for property of a future settlement, and the many thousands of claims to ownership from people displaced in 1974. There is also a risk that purchasers would face legal proceedings in the courts of the Republic of Cyprus, as well as attempts to enforce judgements from the courts of the Republic of Cyprus elsewhere in the EU, including the UK. """"

Just to repeat what I posted earlier. NO INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL BODY WOULD CONTEMPLATE LENDING MONEY WITH COLLATERAL AS THE DEEDS OF PROPERTY ISSUED BY THE "TRNC" Such deeds are recognised only by the issuing" authorities" as well as the occupiers , Turkey. There no other arguments here the case is closed.

Again another slight correction....Turkiye İş Bank, HSBC, Ziraat Bank, Garanti Bank, Halk Bank, Turkish Bank, are all internationally recognized financial institutions and can all be found doing business in the TRNC.
