Introduction
Purchasing real estate in Northern Cyprus is a rewarding opportunity, whether you’re looking for a holiday home, a rental investment, or a permanent residence. However, to ensure a smooth and legal transaction, it’s essential to have the correct documents prepared. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the key documents needed and explain how Özeray Investments simplifies the process for buyers.
Required Documents for Buying Property in Northern Cyprus
1. Valid Passport
A valid passport is required for all foreign buyers as proof of identity. This document will be needed at multiple stages, including signing contracts, tax registration, and transferring the title deed.
2. Sales Agreement
The Sales Agreement is a legally binding contract between the buyer and the seller. It includes:
- Property details (size, location, specifications)
- Agreed purchase price
- Payment schedule
- Legal responsibilities of both parties
At Özeray Investments, we ensure the contract protects your rights and is aligned with Northern Cyprus property laws.
3. Proof of Address
Buyers must provide proof of their residential address, such as:
- Utility bills (electricity, water, or internet)
- Bank statements with a home address
This document is required for tax registration and official legal processes.
4. Tax Identification Number
Foreign buyers must apply for a Tax Identification Number in Northern Cyprus to comply with tax regulations. This number is essential for:
- Paying property-related taxes
- Registering ownership in your name
Our team at Özeray Investments will guide you through this process to ensure compliance.
5. Bank Transfer Receipts
Since real estate transactions require financial transparency, proof of payments is necessary. Buyers must provide receipts of bank transfers to confirm:
- Deposit payments
- Installment transactions
- Final balance settlements
These receipts are vital for legal records and ownership transfer.
Step-by-Step Process for Foreign Buyers
1. Select Your Property: Choose a property that suits your needs, whether it’s an off-plan project or a ready-to-move-in unit.
2. Sign the Sales Agreement: Once the terms are agreed upon, both parties sign the contract.
3. Apply for Council of Ministers Approval: Foreign buyers must obtain approval to purchase property, which takes 6–12 months. Özeray Investments will handle the application process.
4. Complete Tax Registration & Payments: Pay applicable taxes and fees (stamp duty, VAT, title transfer fee).
5. Title Deed Transfer: Once approval is granted and payments are complete, the property’s title deed is officially transferred to your name.
