North Cyprus koçan types: four title-deed frames
Koçan / title deed
Four koçan languages are discussed in North Cyprus: Turkish, eşdeğer (equivalent), tahsis (allocation) and Greek (Rum) koçan. Type changes by parcel and project; this page is not legal advice.
Greek (Rum) koçan land: a risk frame
Koçan / title deed
Greek koçan is market language for parcels named with a pre-1974 owner record. It is not a sales promise; international and domestic legal risk is discussed separately.
What is Turkish koçan?
Koçan / title deed
Turkish koçan is market language for a title frame close to Republic registration. It is not a ‘problem-free deed’ slogan; annotations and permits are still asked.
What is equivalent (eşdeğer) koçan?
Koçan / title deed
Equivalent koçan is the frame named with post-1974 exchange and registration practice. It is not the same thing as Turkish koçan.
What is allocation (tahsis) koçan?
Koçan / title deed
Allocation koçan is discussed as a use and future-registration frame. It should not be read as a completed Turkish title.
İskele investment 2026: a risk and process note
Region and intent
İskele carries search intent around the Long Beach off-plan corridor. This guide is not a list of ‘projects in İskele’; it separates handover uncertainty, koçan and off-plan risk.
What is the PTP purchase permit?
2026 framework
For foreign buyers the purchase permit (market language: PTP) is an administrative step. 2026 rules can change; this page is not an application manual.
Decree 89/2026: what changed, what did not?
2026 framework
Regulation 89/2026 sits at the centre of 2026 foreign-purchase talks. The current official text is the source; blog figures are not law.
North Cyprus title fees: what should you confirm?
2026 framework
Title fees and related costs change with tariff and exemptions. We do not publish a fixed percentage table.
Buying in North Cyprus with a power of attorney
Buying remotely
From Turkey, especially via the Adana office, the process can run with a power of attorney. The content of the power is written by a lawyer.
Buying a home in North Cyprus from Turkey
Buying remotely
Process: shortlist, stock confirmation, contract, permit, title. The sales office is in Adana; projects are only in North Cyprus. We take you to Cyprus and walk the island projects on site.
Zero-deposit / no-down-payment projects
Payment
Akol, NorthernLAND and Noyanlar periodically use zero-deposit or long-term campaigns. A campaign depends on stock confirmation; not every home is deposit-free.
What does launch price mean?
Payment
Launch is early-reservation language. A sterling starting range is not an offer sheet; the language changes when stock runs out.
