After spending several years in South Cyprus, I have just moved to the North about 6 months ago. Wow! What a relief!
The people are great, the cost of living is less and the property cost me half of what I paid in the South.
With the money that was left over, I purchased a rental propety at "Blossom Kyrenia" that gives me a four-year, ten percent annual guranteed rental income.
Life could not be better. Riddens South Cyprus, Welcome North Cyprus!!!
I agree that the North is the place to be, BUT just as in the South anyone moving North must be careful as to the honesty of the developer.
I bought a property from Evergreen and it was a sham. However, I got lucky and sold it.
If anyone is looking for a good developer, I suggest Blossom Properties. They have a quality build and are very honest and friendly.
Their contact information is:
www.BlossomProperties.co.uk
I suggest speaking to their Managing Director Allen Kleg at +447822101002 or . Even if he does not have the property type you are looking for he will send you to someone who has.
MY HUSBAND AND I ARE RELOCATING TO CYPRUS AND WERE TOLD NOT TO GO ANYWHERE IN THE NORTH BECAUSE OF THE LAND GRAB. IF THE TURKISH PEOPLE GET THEIR LAND BACK AND SOMONE HAS BUILT ON IT IT IS THEIRS. IS THAT TRUE.
I went over to north cyprus and at first was really impressed,but when I looked into buying there I found that the build quality left more than alot to be desired even down to using unwashed building sand in every thing remember concrete cancer in the 70s and the list goes on and on,far to expensive for that standard.
The infrastructure in TRNC cannot keep pace with development.
Many developments now are lacking the bascis of electricty and water and are told they will have to wait for several years in some cases.
Dont buy in the North.
You will just be buying problems.
My friends are beside themselves as their dreams have been shattered. They cannot move into their new home and are now having to pay rental and this could go on for several years.
I'm 19 years old and i travel to Northern Cyprus every year since i was 13 and have travelled all over the north side of the Island. I recommend it to anyone!!! I went to the South for a week one time and seriously didn't like it, it's like a mini England but more hot (of course) I'm currently looking for a full-time job on the North side.
