Since 1974, the Cyprus has been divided in two by the “Green
Line”, which separates the Greek-ruled Republic of Cyprus
in the south from the Turkish-ruled north of the island.
For more information on a town and its surrounding region within
Cyprus, please select the area:
The north, which accounts for 37% of Cyprus, is an illegal
state recognised only by Turkey, and although talks to resolve
the situation are occasionally held, Cyprus remains a divided
island. The north is just starting to open up to more intrepid
foreign property investors. However, anyone considering investing
here should do thorough research, make sure they understand how
the system works and take independent legal advice to avoid any
issues with illegal land ownership.
No such problems exist in the South, where the majority of British
people buy their property in Cyprus. By far the most popular place
is Paphos, where 60% of British property buyers in Cyprus invest,
followed by Limassol with 20%.
In addition to the benefits of good-value properties in a beautiful,
sunny location, foreign buyers are tempted to invest in Cyprus by the low cost of
living, low crime rate, warmth of the Cypriot people and relaxed
way of life.
