Property Purchase Procedure in TRNC

Purchasing property in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is a rewarding investment, but it comes with legal steps that must be followed carefully. With the right guidance, it can be a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Main Taxes & Fees

  • VAT (5%) – Based on the contract value, usually applicable when buying from a professional developer.
  • Transfer Fee (12%) – Paid to the Land Registry before transfer of ownership, based on assessed value.
  • Stamp Duty (0.5%) – Must be paid within 21 days of contract signing for registration.

Total estimated taxes and fees: ~17.5% of the purchase price.

Working with a lawyer is highly recommended to protect your rights and ensure a secure transaction. Services typically include:

  • Land Registry Search – Verifying property ownership and ensuring no debts or encumbrances exist.
  • Contract Preparation – Drafted according to your needs, including price, payment plan, and all terms.
  • Registration – Ensures legal protection and prevents resale to third parties.
