Our country guides explain how buying property works outside Turkey, in the other markets where Keyholders International helps buyers. At present they cover Northern Cyprus and Dubai.
The rules differ from country to country: who may buy, which permits you need, how ownership is registered and which taxes and fees you pay. Do not assume that what applies in Turkey applies elsewhere. Each guide sets out the process for one country, step by step, with the official sources we checked. Read the guide for the country you are considering before you commit, and confirm the current position with an independent local lawyer.
Guides by country
- Buying property in Northern Cyprus: permits, title deeds and costs for foreign buyers.
