Hi Nicky



Solicitor cost is GBP 800.00 am using...



MUSTAFA GURYEL LAW FIRM in Kyrenia. I met them and they seem really nice, very helpful so far.



The stamp duty which is 0.5% over the contract Sale Price is payable upon signing of the Agreement of Sale. 3% transfer fee as first time purchasers and 5% VAT is payable (over the assessed value when your permission to purchase is issued by the authorities) approximately after two years of signing the agreement, at the time of the registrtion of the title deed from the Vendor's name into the name of the purchaser at the land registry office.



You may also want to check if you have to pay anything to have the water and electricity connected as I know some people have been court by this if they haven't budgeted.



I have bought in Augustus, the views are amazing !!

what about you ? long time no hear, hope all is well with you! Yes had a fantastic time at both the wedding and in Dubai, thanks, cant believe its all over :(, aww well, closer to cyprus time . Christmas was great too, what about you, did you have a good one? Havent been to Ikea yet, we were told it was going to be really busy for the first few months and to stay away, but we promised my granny a new kitchen and shes busting to get it, so I guess I'm going to have to make the journey soon!! Last I heard for the apart was 15th Nov 2008, which to be honest I cant see, I think it will be the start of 2009? yes the pic on the website is really lovely, we are heading over on the 21st March, so I will take loads of pictures for you . Anyway have a very happy aand healthy 2008, and I'll maybe see you there

Hi Sarah,

We had a great christmas thanks, we are all keeping well. As of yet we didn't make it down to IKEA, with the Euro currently very good against GBP guess we will make the trip around the new year. I'm hoping for a later finish on the our appartment in the Brutus block.....suits me to have a little more time to get the final payment sorted out. Have you heard anymore regarding water connection or furnituure packages available?

We still have to decide when to go over most likely will be August / November time. Best of luck with you're new year celebrations.

hello,

I'm interested in buying at the Caesar Resort but I cannot find a date for when the complex should be finished. All I can see is a '24 month' completion date - 24 months from when? And is it on schedule?

Also does anyone know how much the rental yield should be?

Thanks

Hi Conor, yeah suits me too for a little later finish!! No I havent heard anymore about anything to be honest, which I'm sort of glad about, means I dont owe anything yet!! But whatever you want to no about anything, pictures you want me to take or anything else, put it all in an email before we go in march. But I will speak to you before that, anyway have a very happy and healthy 2008 to you and your family and I'm sure our paths will cross this year at some stage !!



Hi Shona, welcome to the forum, our apart in the first phase is due to be finished in nov'08, with the whole development mid 2009. As far as we know it is on schedule. Rent is prob as much as you want it to be, I'd be happy with £50 a week to cover the mortage but then others in other aparts already completed are asking between £100-£200 a week in the high season. good luck

You may want to look at the Blossom Kyrenia project in the area behind the Club Zeus. With a 10% guaranteed rental income they have several three bedroom units.



You make take a look at their website: http://www.blossomproperties.co.uk .



Locally Unwin Estates and Hillcrest are handling this project.

The problem as per Ceasars Resort is the location and no guranteed rental. The areas is flooded with rentals available with not enough renters. This does not look to me like a good investment.

Whats wrong with Ceasars Location Tim ? Looked pretty good to me when i was there. Being so family orientated (Didn't see anywhere else on the Island like it) I cant see any problem renting, whether the developer guarantees it or not. There is a superb golf course in Esentepe you are right, but I know for a fact that one has been given the go ahead to be built right next to Caesars, so to me Caersars will then have everything, beaches, family orientated, golf course, right next to famagusta and also only 30 mins from larnanca where Kyrenia is about an hour and a half.

Can someone explain to me how anyone can guarantee a rental income as there is so much rental property available and no tourists to fill them. The travel companies are having problems filling the planes let alone the accommodation they have on their books. I don't think we've been on a full plane for about 18 months/2 years.



About 3 years ago when the housing boom hit the island the planes were completely full and you had trouble getting on now they run half empty.



If anyone buys with a view to getting an income from rentals then I'd personally think very carefully and read the smallprint.

Well said Karen.



When we came over in November there were 12 people on the plane. Nearly all TRNC home owners. Most of the hotels, bars and restaurants we visited were deserted with husband and I often being the only customers around. If we did manage to bump into other people they were usually people looking to buy property or checking up on the progress of property they had purchased.

Tim10 think you might need to do a bit more research? Get on owners abroad and look at the availability of the many villas and apartments throughout the TRNC. Its nothing to do with the area as I'm sure you will see.

Quite simple Kazzie. Over inflate the sale price by the percentage amount of rental income you are guaranteeing for however many years, and then give it back to the customer over the agreed period. Developer then has a better chance of making the sale because the prospective purchaser 'thinks' it's a good rental investment (even if it isn't!). They also get to invest some of your money over the same period at good interest rates but only have to give it back in small chunks. Good eh!!

The location is fine -- but a good location must also carry an promise of good rental income or capital appreciation -- this is missing.

Good rental income, however, can be found in Kyrenia because of a lack of rental properties for the students at the universities. Most locals own their own house. To rely on tourism in the area of the Resort is questionable and would only be seasonable. A good rental should provide income all year long.

When i was in Kyrenia recently I viewed loads of apartments there that were available. Looks to me like there are more places there than needed. Don't get me wrong I thought Kyrenia was a beautiful place, but for me Famagusta way, yes there are plenty of villas, but family orienatated beach front apartments no !

Has anyone who is currently buying a property in TRNC heard about the new rule that came in on 02.01.08 regarding contracts of sale being registered within 21 days of the date they were signed? And are your solicitors putting up their fees (as are ours) to accommodate this. Does anyone know when these new rule changes were first aired as they just seem to have been implemented without any prior knowledge.?

There is another link here where the new law is being discussed

http://www.cyprus44.com/forums/1332.asp



it has already attracted 127 messages in 7 days. People are very angry that solicitors have started demanding hundreds of pounds on top of their original fees for getting a document stamped. The word theft springs to mind.



If thie government doesn't step in and stop this daylight robbery everyone will lose trust in turkish solicitors and nobody will be buying (or selling) in trnc.

Hi SJW yeah I have just paid it. To be honest i've only recently purchased mine (December) so when i met the solicitor they told me aboutit at the time so it hasn't just been sprug on me out the blue. It's the only fee i've had to pay the solicitor so i'm not too worried, but was just wondering if it was a legitimate charge or not ?



Also does anyone know how long it takes to drive from Paphos to Bogaz ?

Apparently it costs about 40 turkish lira to deposit the sales agreement at Land registry. Solicitors are charging between £200 stg and £350 stg to take it there.
