Increase in Property Sales in Karpassia Raises Concerns for Heirs
February 17, 2026
The sale of properties in Karpassia has increased due to the involvement of Turkish, Turkish Cypriot, and Greek Cypriot intermediaries. There is concern that heirs, often unaware of their properties' existence, are being approached with offers to sell. These transactions are not officially recorded, making it difficult to understand the phenomenon. Original owners have either passed away or lost contact with their properties. The government expresses concern over the strategies used by intermediaries to persuade heirs to sell their assets.
