North Cyprus New Property Law

Important News for all Property Buyers and Sellers in North Cyprus

If you follow blogs and forums for North Cyprus on a regular basis you will probably have seen posts about the changes to the TRNC Property Laws that were expected to happen at some stage. Well the latest North Cyprus News is that the law has been passed.

I have just read an article on the New Donaghy and Beyler blog which says that the New Law was passed on the 2nd of January.

There blog explains that this New Law effects all North Cyprus Estate Agents and that Donaghy and Beyler were the 1st non Turkish Cypriot Estate Agents to be licensed. If you want to read the full article yourself you can find it here http://donaghyandbeyler.bravejournal.com/entry/22313

It seems that this new Law has been passed by the TRNC Government in order to safeguard the property buyer in Northern Cyprus. From now on it appears that is illegal for anyone to buy or even sell a property in North Cyprus without an Estate Agent who now must be registered with the TRNC Government. It also seems that all Licensed Estate Agents can be held accountable for the information they give their clients and furthermore they must ensure all information given is correct.

Well done to the TRNC Government.

Relocating to North Cyprus this Year?

First of all, a very Happy New Year to all who read this blog.

Once again, this year will see many people about to or considering relocating abroad just as I did when I moved to North Cyprus.

I made my move over 6 years ago but can still remember the feelings I had to go through.The apprehension excitement and the sadness at leaving family behind, not to mention the tears as I went through departure at the airport.

Then the endless list of things that needed doing, the dreadful job of packing, getting rid of things I couldn't take with me, the task of getting my pets ready to send out, the constant visits to vets and the telephone calls to immigration making sure our dogs were ok to enter the country once they departed the plane.

Well all that’s well and truly behind me now and I can honestly say it was the best move I ever made.

No Regrets, so why am I going on about this now, so many years later.

Well today I read a blog on Donaghy and Beylers new blog site that took me back to those days. It’s a story of a guy who on a whim packed up and left everyone and everything behind, probably expecting to go back to the UK within weeks. It didn’t happen in fact he made a wonderful life for himself, met a girl who he fell in love with and who later he married.

A real story of success, a story that hits at your emotions. So if like I was some years ago, you are about to leave the UK behind and start a new life abroad, but are feeling apprehensive or a little unsure your doing the right thing, searching the web for a little encouragement, have a look at this blog, it may help. http://donaghyandbeyler.bravejournal.com and when its time to start the move may I wish you a happy and successful journey to your new and exciting life overseas.
