With unbeatable property value, a low cost of living, wonderful weather and scenic beauty, Northern Cyprus is becoming one of the top overseas property markets for the astute investor.

Over £2 billion of foreign investment has poured into Northern Cyprus in the last two years and around 9,000 individual overseas buyers have discovered that this small country offers a very attractive potential return on investment - and yet encouragingly property prices remain very low indeed.

Market specialists expect these to leap spectacularly over the next few years as ever increasing numbers of people continue to wake up to the unmatched opportunities in the region.

Northern Cyprus has gorgeous countryside with a wealth of historical castles, abbeys and ruins. The country also boasts miles and miles of stunning coastline with beautiful and often deserted beaches.

Time passes slowly and the local people deserve their reputation as the most friendly and hospitable in the Mediterranean - their warmth matching the marvelous Mediterranean climate with 340 days a year of sunshine.

The legacy of British colonial rule can be felt all around you with English widely spoken and cars driving on the same side of the road as the UK. The legal system is based on English law as well.

Crime is virtually non-existent, eating out is about half the cost it is in the UK and average council tax bills are less than £50 sterling per year!

Property buyers relocating here are able to enjoy an exceptionally high standard of living at a fraction of the cost of other destinations in Europe.

One of the most exciting investment opportunities available in Northern Cyprus is Turtle Bay Village. Situated close to the village of Esentepe on the northern coast of Cyprus, Turtle Bay Village is located 500 meters from the only golf course in the whole of Northern Cyprus, a championship course which is due to be opened in September 2005. This wonderful development is expected to set a precedent for all future projects in the North.

Please note: Because the ‘property issue’ in Cyprus - on both sides of the divide - is complex and highly sensitive, 999today recommends that investors take appropriate legal advice before purchasing property.
