It is safe to buy in North Cyprus provided the right title deed applies to the property.
There are three types of freehold title in North Cyprus.
Pre 1974 Turkish (or foreign) Title. The safest and best, but almost impossible to find now days.
TRNC Esdeger (Exchange) Title. This means that the Turkish Cypriot owner has been given this land in exchange for the equivalent piece of land they owned in the South.
This type of land is increasingly hard to find, especially close to the sea. All of Sweetwater Bay is located on Exchange Title land. TRNC TMD Title.
This is where no exchange has taken place, and therefore there may be some compensation payable as part of some future political settlement to the Cyprus issue.
Most developments are being built on TMD land. Sweetwater Bay does not develop projects on TMD Title lands.
