We wish you all well during these worrying times. Busy Bees have ensured, however, that your dreams for owning a property in the sun need not be broken. Several of our vendors have agreed to FREEZE the price of their properties, and subject to a larger reservation fee will hold property until the worldwide situation is much more stable.

That means you can still buy! The sellers on all the following properties are prepared to take a 20% downpayment, and they will FREEZE the price, and take it off the market, until such a time that you can travel to the Turkish Embassy in your own country to give power of attorney to an acting solicitor here for the purchase, or indeed you are able to travel yourself to North Cyprus to instruct a solicitor, HOWEVER LONG THAT MAY TAKE!!

• The first downpayment is 20% of the property price.

• NOTHING ELSE IS DUE NOW UNTIL YOU ARE ABLE TO REACH THE TURKISH EMBASSY IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY TO GIVE POWER OF ATTORNEY TO A SOLICITOR IN NORTH CYPRUS TO ACT ON YOUR BEHALF FOR THE PURCHASE, OR, YOU CAN COME IN PERSON TO NORTH CYPRUS TO INSTRUCT A SOLICITOR IN PERSON.

• When this time comes, no matter how long this takes, you will then need to send £1,400 solicitors fees, stamp duty (0.5%) vat if applicable (mostly not on resales) and the full amount of the property you have purchased minus the initial 20%.

• The transfer of deeds is 3% normally payable with 10 months of the above payment unless you have citizenship in which case it will take place as soon as you make the above final payments.
