M. Haziq Siddiqi -
Karachi-Pakistan:
“I first visited Northern Cyprus
in the summer of 2004, when I drove up from Larnaca with my family.
We stayed in the Pitoresk Holiday Village and all of us (my wife
& kids) fell in love with the place. The 2 week stay was
idyllic.
But we
had to leave because of my work commitments.
The idea of buying
some property in the TRNC (KKTC) started forming in my mind and I
began looking at websites that offered suitable property
developments. Eventually I settled on Kyrenia Court III, Apartment
No:4.
All my
interaction was with a Ms Julie Bronstein of Remax / Golden
Properties, Girne office. She sent me site details, property
specifications, and answered the host of questions I posed. The
result was that I sent my deposit, and began paying the builder
according to the schedule I was given.
I visited Girne in April this year and
physically saw the site for the first time. I was feeling a bit
apprehensive, and was thinking maybe I had not done a wise thing
just buying on specs without even knowing who I was buying from.
However, my experience
has been superb and my decision fully vindicated by what I have
discovered during my visit.
- The builders M/s Distinctive
Properties are honest and trustworthy, and have a good
reputation.
- All the photographs I had received
when the `sales pitch' was being made are absolutely
faithful to the situation I have found on the site.
- The views from my lounge (living
room) are precisely what was given in the photographs.
- In the local market as well, I
heard M/s Distinctive Properties have a good name, and their
properties KC I and KC II already command a premium resale
price because of the sound construction and the quality
materials that have been used.
| With
all these plus points, I would very happily buy a second property
from the same builders, and I would recommend them to anybody
wishing to make a property investment in Northern Cyprus.”

What sets Distinctive Properties
apart?
Within the past few years, property sales in
Northern Cyprus have soared. Unfortunately, ubiquitous substandard
concrete boxes are now the norm. Stories of leaking swimming pools
and roofs, inferior wokmanship, collapsing garden walls, 2-year old
villas which now need major renovation and surprisingly identical
designs are abundant.
What truly sets Distinctive Properties apart
are ‘distinct’, high quality, low maintenance, thoughtfully and
uniquely designed homes located at prime locations with you and your
family in mind.
Distinctive Properties offers 1, 2, 3 bedroom
apartments and 2 and 3 bedroom penthouses. We prefer to build
primarily in central Kyrenia not only because it is such a charming
town, but also because our experience has proven to us that central
Kyrenia is where our clients get the most value for their money,
both in terms of capital appreciation and rental income. Our clients
are enjoying 20-30% capital
appreciation of their properties in less than a year and
also 8-10% net rental returns per
year (after maintenance costs and taxes on gross rental
income).
We use
international engineering standards for our construction practices
and we take pride in our quality and completion timeframes. Our
properties have a ten year construction guarantee against structural
defects. Our engineers do dynamic, as well as static simulations to
ensure earthquake-proof structures.
You will find refreshing additions to these
homes – the little things which make all the difference to living or
living comfortably – both inside and outside.
For example:
- Spacious (more than 30 m2 with
balconies), well-lighted and airy lounges due to plenty of windows
in order for you to enjoy the Mediterranean Sea and mountain views
and weather.
- All water tanks are hidden within the
design of the roof terrace.
- All rain water pipes are concealed.
- All apartments have covered
parking.
- All A/C unit compressors and piping are
hidden away and the location of additional A/C units are already
pre-designated.
All apartments have a separate ground level
store room for your bicycles, beach toys, fishing equipment etc.
All our projects have
parcelation and construction permits enabling buyers to get
individual title deeds. You can read more on our buyer's guide page
on what to look for when buying a property in Northern Cyprus.
Our developments in
Northern Cyprus are all built on Internationally recognised land
with clean Turkish Cypriot titles and bear no risk to the
purchasers. Investors are also welcome for bulk purchases. Please
