In connection with new changes to the Law on the sale of real estate to foreigners dated May 21, 2024, a foreigner has the right to be the owner of only one piece of real estate and is obliged to register it in the manner prescribed by law with the transfer of the title to his name.
At the same time, the gap in the legislation of Northern Cyprus that existed before May 21, 2024 did not prohibit foreigners from purchasing more than one property and did not oblige the transfer of title (ownership) to each of the properties.
Thus, by the time new changes to the law were adopted, some foreigners had two or more contracts for the purchase and sale of real estate in their hands.
The law sets a deadline for eliminating the violation that has arisen with the mandatory declaration of “extra” (more than one) real estate objects, payment of a state duty of 1% and the subsequent sale of the second or more objects within 2 years.
For this purpose, Instructions have been prepared on the procedure for declaring second or more real estate properties.
