North Cyprus property: private buyer representation
NORTHEA is a licensed estate agent in Northern Cyprus offering private buyer representation and acquisition coordination to international clients, families and investors who are weighing North Cyprus property: buyers through Private Acquisition, and discreet representation for owners who sell.
Sensitive documents are never requested through a public web form.
The House
A licensed estate agent.
Northea represents a small number of international clients, families and investors acquiring, holding and selling property in Northern Cyprus. One named advisor coordinates each step, with independent professionals for anything regulated.
Not everything exceptional is listed. Not everything listed is exceptional.

Contract, permission and completion
Contract signature, the purchase-permission application and registration of title, coordinated through to completion.
A licensed estate agent in Northern Cyprus offering private buyer representation and acquisition coordination. Northea is not a listing portal: it gives private clients and institutional investors curated access to exceptional real estate, including opportunities that never reach the open market.
02
What Northea is for
To replace searching with access. The client does not scan inventory. Northea establishes what matters to the client, searches the open market and private networks, presents a considered selection and coordinates the acquisition through to completion.
03
Vision
To be trusted by private clients and institutional investors for careful, well-documented work on property in Northern Cyprus, in the language each of them uses.
04
Mission
Private access. Disciplined curation. Precise execution. To present only what merits presentation, to protect the client's discretion at every step, and to be measured by completion.
Tell us what you are looking for. We search the market for you.
Northea carries out a dedicated acquisition search against your brief, whether the property is a waterfront residence, a private estate, strategic land or an investment opportunity.

The purchase journey, explained before you commit.
Foreign-ownership framework, purchase permission, title and due diligence, costs, banking and residence, each presented as a separate module with its review date and status.
Property ownership, immigration status and citizenship are separate legal matters.

Does NORTHEA offer buyer representation in North Cyprus?
Yes. Buyer representation is one of NORTHEA's services in Northern Cyprus. It is delivered through Private Acquisition, a search-on-your-behalf service for international buyers: a buyer-focused approach that begins with a clear acquisition brief and continues through research, private viewings, comparison, negotiation and transaction coordination.
Who does NORTHEA act for, and how are its fees set?
Northea represents a small number of international clients, families and investors acquiring, holding and selling property in Northern Cyprus. Northea's fees, and whether they are payable by buyer, seller or both, are set out in writing in the engagement letter before any service is rendered.
Can foreign nationals buy property in Northern Cyprus?
Yes, with purchase permission from the Council of Ministers and within limits. Under Decree-Law 119/2026 (TRNC Official Gazette No. 196, 6 October 2026), which repealed and re-enacted Decree-Law 89/2026 of 7 August 2026 (itself re-enacting Decree-Law 63/2026 of 11 May 2026, which repeated the purchase limits of Decree-Law 11/2026 of 12 February 2026), a foreign individual or company may buy, in one of these forms: a plot of up to 1,338 m² with a single dwelling; up to 3 apartments; a detached house on land of up to 3,300 m²; or, within a housing estate or site, 2 two-storey detached villas. Nationals of states that recognise the TRNC and give TRNC citizens the same right may buy up to 6 apartments or 3 villas. A decree-law is temporary unless Parliament enacts it, so an independent TRNC-licensed lawyer confirms the rules in force and your eligibility before you commit.
Where can I follow changes to the foreign-buyer rules?
On NORTHEA's foreign-buyer rules page: a dated change log of the TRNC foreign-ownership decree-laws 11/2026, 63/2026, 89/2026 and 119/2026 and the October 2026 residence-permit amendments, with links to the official Gazette PDFs.
Does buying property give residence or citizenship?
Not by itself. Owning a home in the TRNC that is suitable for living in and used as your residence can be the basis of an application for a short-term residence permit (Residence Permits and Visas Regulation, art. 14(2)(b)). Under the rules in force since October 2026: with a title deed in your name, the permit is issued for 10 years if the property you bought is worth GBP 300,000 or more in total and for 5 years below that, with no income condition (TRNC Official Gazette No. 193, 2 October 2026); with a sales contract stamped and certified by the Income and Tax Office, it is issued for 5 years with no income condition at a contract value of GBP 300,000 or more; below that value, it is issued for 5 years if you prove a regular monthly income of one minimum wage (apostilled home-country document or any bank's document), or may be issued for up to 5 years on a bank document showing such income (TRNC Official Gazette No. 194, 5 October 2026). This Regulation does not grant citizenship; citizenship is governed by separate law. NORTHEA is not an immigration adviser and does not apply for, arrange or promise residence; an independent TRNC-licensed lawyer or immigration specialist confirms whether you qualify.
What does a purchase cost beyond the price?
Transfer fees, stamp duty, VAT on new builds, legal fees, permission and search costs and utility connections. The True Cost calculator shows indicative figures from editable rates with their source and review date.
How does NORTHEA verify a property?
NORTHEA assembles the documents into a dossier with a status for each item and coordinates independent legal review of seller, title, encumbrances, permissions and contract. NORTHEA does not issue legal opinions.
Is the Private Collection publicly listed?
No. Off-market and confidential mandates are shared only with qualified clients after a client profile, advisor approval and, where appropriate, an NDA.
Which languages does NORTHEA work in?
English is the principal language. The named contact, Al Bazarov, speaks English and Turkish, and written replies are given in every language of the site. The website is maintained in Turkish, Russian, German, Arabic, Urdu, Turkmen, Hebrew, Persian, Simplified Chinese, Polish, French and Azerbaijani; Turkmen and Urdu are also available through the advisor desk.
