Description

Four Seasons Life II Iskele is a delivered coastal community of 329 units in the İskele district of Northern Cyprus, completed in July 2024 according to the developer, Döveç Group. This guide to the Four Seasons Life II Iskele project reads what the developer’s page publishes (one unit type with a “Starting From” price, 33 listed amenities, no sizes and no distances), sets it beside public law and area sources, and concentrates on what an owner pays for and has to check after buying.

Where the developer is silent, nothing is estimated.

Overview of Four Seasons Life II Iskele

Döveç Group’s project page presents Four Seasons Life II as the second phase of its coastal series, set in İskele. Its five key highlights are water sports, an aqua park, a swimming pool, a spa centre and a private beach. The page gives a delivery date of July 2024, a total of 329 units and a list of 33 amenities, and the developer’s own listing marks the project as “Delivered”.

The description is marketing language. It mentions a transition “from your doorstep to the private beach” and a “Professional Rental Management System” through which the group handles operations and maintenance. Its terms, fees and any income figure are not published, and the page’s yield wording is not repeated here.

The page is thin on what a buyer would normally compare: no unit-type table, floor plan, size, distance list, street address or map point of the project (the only map link leads to the company profile). The gallery has seven images, and no title-deed category is stated.

Price caveat: the page shows “Starting From £160,000”, as shown on dovecgroup.com on 18 October 2026. The project is listed as delivered, and the page does not say whether the figure refers to unsold stock or a reference price, and lists no availability. Units may be obtainable only on the resale market, so the figure is a published minimum for one type, not an offer or fixed price. Homepage data also quotes a far lower entry level that no project page supports; it is not used here.

Three projects share the series name: Four Seasons Life I (April 2019), this phase (July 2024) and Four Seasons Life III (738 units, due December 2026). The developer’s homepage data describe a “Four Seasons Life” of 738 units as completed, which conflicts with the third phase’s project page, so ask a seller in writing which phase a unit belongs to.

Unit types and sizes at Four Seasons Life II Iskele

The developer publishes a single price entry for the project, labelled 1+1 Loft. It appears in the page’s pricing data without a matching unit-type record, so the page gives no floor area, no bathroom count and no plan. The bedroom count in the table below is read from the type name, as a “1+1” is conventionally a one-bedroom layout; the developer does not state it.

Four Seasons Life II Iskele unit type Size Bedrooms (from the type name) “Starting From” price
1+1 Loft Not published 1 GBP 160,000
Any other type None published None published None published

Because no size exists, the usual comparison figures cannot be computed for this phase. There is no terrace-to-living ratio, no area per bedroom and no price per square metre. What can be calculated is how the one published price sits beside the sister phase, whose page lists sizes. The table below uses the developer’s figures for the third phase and divides each price by its size; all divisions are calculated from the developer’s figures.

Size comparison: phase II and phase III Size (m²) Starting price (GBP) Price per m² (GBP, calculated)
Phase II, 1+1 Loft Not published 160,000 Cannot be calculated
Phase III, Studio 36 135,000 3,750 (135,000 / 36)
Phase III, 1+1 Loft 53 158,600 2,992 (158,600 / 53)
Phase III, 1+1 54 164,250 3,042 (164,250 / 54)
Phase III, 2+1 80 252,000 3,150 (252,000 / 80)

In the third phase the loft is one square metre smaller than the plain 1+1 and costs GBP 5,650 less (164,250 minus 158,600): about 3.4 per cent in price and 1.6 per cent per square metre. The second phase’s GBP 160,000 is GBP 1,400 above the third phase’s loft (about 0.9 per cent) and GBP 4,250 below its 1+1 (about 2.6 per cent).

Per-square-metre cost across the third phase’s types is not a straight line either: it falls from the studio to the loft and then rises again for the 2+1.

None of this shows that the second phase’s loft has the third phase’s floor area. The two are separate buildings, the developer does not say they share plans, and “loft” is not defined on either page. The sensitivity table below only shows how strongly the price per square metre would move with the unknown size; the areas are arithmetic inputs, not floor areas of any unit, and are calculated from the developer’s published price.

Hypothetical floor area (m²) GBP 160,000 divided by area (GBP per m²)
45 3,556
50 3,200
53 (the third phase’s loft area) 3,019
55 2,909
60 2,667

The spread, from GBP 2,667 to GBP 3,556 per square metre, is wider than the whole range of the third phase’s types shown above. A buyer or a resale seller who quotes a per-square-metre rate for this phase without a measured, documented area is quoting something this evidence cannot support. The practical step is to ask for the unit’s area as recorded on its title or condominium plan, and to confirm whether the area includes balconies, a loft level or shared walls.

Location: the İskele district around the project

The developer names only the town: İskele. It describes the project as lying on “the golden sands of Iskele” and lists a private beach, but it gives no street, no plot number, no coordinates and no distance list. Its own project directory files the neighbouring schemes under more specific labels, such as “Long Beach · İskele” for Querencia, D-Point and Courtyard Long Beach, while this phase carries “İskele” alone. Everything below is measured from public reference points in İskele, not from the project.

İskele (Trikomo in Greek) is the administrative centre of İskele District, which was separated from Gazimağusa District in 1998 according to Wikipedia, a secondary source. The 2011 census, the latest official count, recorded 22,492 people in the district (11,524 men and 10,968 women), which is 7.9 per cent of the TRNC total of 286,257 (calculated). The municipality had 7,906 residents across 18 wards. No district figure has been published since; only a TRNC-wide projection of 476,214 for the end of 2023 exists.

Locals use “Long Beach” for the İskele waterfront. A 2024 master’s thesis at Eastern Mediterranean University studies a 3 km stretch within a district coastline of about 25 km, and OpenStreetMap maps a roundabout called “Long Beach Çemberi”. No official source fixes the length or limits of Long Beach, and the developer does not say that this phase stands on it. The 3 km is a researcher’s study area, not a measurement of the beach.

Daily services are thin inside the district. The Ministry of Health lists six state hospitals and none is in İskele; the Statistical Yearbook 2024 records zero in-patient beds in the district from 2020 to 2024. İskele has a health centre.

A Karpaz hospital is under construction, and the Health Minister said on 17 August 2026 that the whole building would be finished by the end of 2026, which is a ministerial promise rather than a fact. The nearest state hospital with beds is Gazimağusa State Hospital, 10.7 km by road from the Long Beach roundabout.

The district had 4,852 school students in 2024-25 out of 59,394 in the TRNC (8.2 per cent, calculated), and no university campus was found in İskele. Eastern Mediterranean University in Famagusta is about 12.0 km by road from the roundabout. OpenStreetMap shows 47 service features (schools, pharmacies, banks, supermarkets and similar) within 6 km of the roundabout, but that count is volunteer data and not an official register.

For travel, the road toward Famagusta is mapped as a dual carriageway, mostly signed at 90 km/h, though that detail is crowd-sourced. No official İskele bus timetable was found, and an unofficial airport-shuttle timetable contradicts itself, so no bus time is given here. Ercan Airport, which serves Türkiye only, is about 52 km from İskele town by road. Larnaca is not given a road time because the route depends on the crossing point used.

Road figures are driving estimates on OpenStreetMap data and leave out traffic, border formalities and queues. The “İskele town” point is the İskele Health Centre on 20 Temmuz Caddesi. Famagusta is the nearest city: its municipality had 40,920 residents in the 2011 census, and a 2020 projection quoted by the municipality reaches 55,868, a projection and not a count. The Famagusta city page covers that area.

Student numbers in Famagusta are not rising. Eastern Mediterranean University had 15,729 students in 2024-25, down 5.5 per cent from 16,640 in 2021-22 (calculated), and total TRNC higher-education enrolment fell from 114,000 to 104,873, a fall of 8.0 per cent (calculated), in the same period. This guide draws no conclusion about rental demand from them. The same yearbook is the source for both series.

Climate figures here come from the nearest official series, the Republic of Cyprus station at Paralimni (2002-2011): mean daily maximum 15.9 C in January and 33.3 C in August, with about 331 mm of rain a year.

A sea-temperature aggregator, not an official source, gives a Famagusta monthly average of 17.2 C in February and 29.0 C in August. The Environment Protection Department publishes rules for turtle-nesting beaches between May and October (umbrellas kept 35 m from the sea, shielded lights, no vehicles). Whether the beach linked to this project is a monitored nesting beach is not established.

The statistical office’s 2025 workbook counts dwellings with final approval, which measures completions, not sales or permits. In İskele these were 264 in 2021, 391 in 2022, 468 in 2023, 389 in 2024 and 541 in 2025 (194 urban and 347 rural). The 2025 figure is about 2.05 times the 2021 one (calculated), and apartment buildings accounted for 367 of the 541 dwellings. No height limit or coastal setback for İskele was found in TRNC law, and none is stated here.

Running costs after buying at Four Seasons Life II Iskele

A delivered community of 329 units with 33 listed amenities carries a continuing operating bill, and the buyer of a resale unit inherits it. The developer publishes no service charge, no utility arrangement and no insurance detail for the project, and the official sources used for this guide give no tariff for them either. This section therefore separates what can be sourced from what must be asked of the building’s management in writing.

The amenity list is a good starting map of what is being paid for. The list names features, not counts: “Swimming Pool” appears once, and the page does not say how many pools exist. The table groups the 33 entries by the kind of running cost each raises; the grouping is this guide’s own classification, not the developer’s.

Amenity group (33 entries in all) Entries from the developer’s list Running-cost question it raises
Pools and water features (5) Swimming Pool, Children’s Pool, Indoor Pool, Aqua Park, Spa Center Water, treatment, heating and lifeguard or maintenance staff
Sport and movement (7) Gym, Tennis Court, Basketball Court, Walking Track, Cycling Path, Bicycle Station, Water Sports Equipment replacement, lighting, court and track upkeep
Family (2) Playground, Kids Club Supervision and safety checks
Staffed or commercial (9) Reception, 24/7 Security, Restaurant, Cafe, Bar, Pool Bar, Beach Bar, Hairdresser, Beauty Center Wages; who operates the outlets and whether rents flow back to owners
Building systems (6) Generator, Vehicle Charging Station, Central Satellite, Internet, Video Intercom, Smoke Detector Fuel, servicing, subscriptions and inspection of safety equipment
Access and parking (3) Parking, Disabled Parking, Disabled Road Surfacing, lighting, barriers
Beach (1) Private Beach Cleaning, lifeguards, and what rights an owner actually has
Four Seasons Life II aerial photo of terraced blocks and the coast

Two of those groups deserve a second look. The nine staffed or commercial entries are the largest group, and the page does not say who runs the restaurant, bars and salon or whether they serve residents only. The “Private Beach” entry also needs a definition. The sources used here found no TRNC coastal-setback rule and no statute on beach access, so what an owner may use, and at what cost, depends on documents, not on a general rule.

On service charges, the developer’s investment guide says maintenance, letting and technical support are provided across its portfolio after handover, and the project page mentions a rental management system. Neither gives an amount, period, currency or cap. Law 35/2010 on condominium title is named in the official sources only for the rule that a unit needs condominium title or easement before a purchase permit can be sought, so the sources do not set out how shared costs are divided.

The management agreement and the building’s budget are the documents to read.

On utilities, the one official rule found concerns timing: until all taxes and fees on a transfer are paid, local authorities may not give a permanent or temporary water connection and the electricity authority may not give electricity connection (site connections during construction are exempt). No official tariff for connection fees, water or power was found. The amenity list mentions a generator and a vehicle charging station, but it does not say whether back-up fuel or charging is billed to the management company or to individual owners.

Currency matters for every recurring line. The developer says contracts are in sterling, while the TRNC’s official currency is the Turkish lira, whose consumer price index rose 35.02 per cent in the twelve months to September 2026. A charge fixed in lira can therefore move quickly; one fixed in pounds does not. Ask in which currency the management invoices, and how often and by what rule the charge is revised.

Recurring taxes are modest in the schedules found. The annual immovable property tax schedule effective 1 January 2025, the latest located (no 2026 schedule was found), sets a base of TL 6.60 per m² up to 120 m² and TL 7.15 above, with surcharges of 10, 25, 40 or 60 per cent by property category.

For illustration only, 50 m² would be TL 330 before surcharges and 80 m² TL 528, about GBP 5 and GBP 8 at the central bank’s effective selling rate of TL 66.1047 per pound for 17 to 19 October 2026 (calculated). Those areas are not floor areas of any unit, and the schedule’s area basis is not explained.

If an owner lets the unit, the Income Tax Law as consolidated on 25 May 2026 withholds 10 per cent of gross rent, which is final tax for individuals; a non-resident owner without a permanent representative leaves the withholding to the tenant.

Lets of up to 60 days are covered by the Holiday Houses Law, which requires registration with the Tourism Planning Department, a registration certificate and an operating permit before letting. The fee is half of the gross monthly minimum wage in force at the start of that year, and operating without a permit is an offence with a fine of up to ten times the gross monthly minimum wage. The sources give no yield, and none is stated.

On insurance, none of the sources says that home or building insurance is compulsory or sets premiums.

Financial Transactions Tax Law 62/2026, in force from 1 October 2026, lists a 5 per cent rate on insurance premiums that financial institutions collect from customers; its effect on a home policy was not verified. A 2023 statement by the president of the Chamber of Engineers and Architects, reported by a newspaper, said the İskele area has the most sensitive soil and that earthquake rules apply to project approval; that is a secondary report, not a survey of this building. Ask what the building policy covers.

Running-cost line What the sources establish (as of 17 October 2026) What is not published
Service charge Developer says maintenance and technical support follow handover Amount, period, currency, cap, budget
Water and electricity No connection until transfer taxes and fees are paid Official tariffs and connection fees
Property tax 2025 schedule: TL 6.60 and TL 7.15 per m² base, surcharges 10 to 60 per cent A 2026 schedule; the area basis
Rental withholding 10 per cent of gross rent, final tax for individuals Any local letting or management fee
Holiday letting up to 60 days Registration, certificate and operating permit required Whether the building’s rules allow it
Insurance 5 per cent Financial Transactions Tax on premiums, from 1 October 2026 Any compulsory cover; building policy terms

The checklist below turns those gaps into questions for the building manager or seller. Each answer should arrive in writing, with the document that supports it.

  1. Who is the managing body of Four Seasons Life II Iskele, and what is its written mandate?
  2. What is the current service charge for the unit, in which currency, and how was it set?
  3. Which of the 33 listed amenities are open to residents, which are run by third parties, and who receives the rent from outlets?
  4. How are the generator, pool heating and security staff funded, and have there been special levies since July 2024?
  5. Are water and electricity metered per unit, and are any connection fees or arrears outstanding on the unit?
  6. Does the building carry an insurance policy, what does it cover, and who is the insured party?
  7. Are short lets permitted by the building’s rules, and is the unit registered under the Holiday Houses Law?
  8. What rights does an owner have to the private beach, and where are they written down?
  9. What is the unit’s recorded area, and has the immovable property tax been paid to date?

Buying in Northern Cyprus: the sequence a buyer follows

A foreign person may buy immovable property in the TRNC only with a purchase permit from the Council of Ministers, applied for through the Interior Ministry. Two instruments matter, and they differ. As of 17 October 2026 the limits come from Decree-Law 89/2026 (Resmi Gazete No. 147, 7 August 2026), a Council of Ministers decree. Its 90-day validity runs out about 5 November 2026 unless Parliament enacts it. The consolidated Law 52/2008 on the legislation portal still shows the stricter earlier text.

While the decree is in force, a foreign buyer may hold up to 3 apartments, and nationals of states that recognise the TRNC may hold 6; the consolidated text shows 1 apartment (3 for those nationals). The decree also caps sales of housing projects in zoned areas at 80 per cent to foreigners. A unit also needs condominium title or easement before the permit application. The rules depend on the decree being in force or enacted, so confirm the position at the time of signing.

Step Who Typical time Source
Research document on the unit and seller Buyer’s lawyer, district Land Registry office No official time found Land Registry announcement
Sale agreement stamped at the Tax Department Buyer and seller; stamp paid by the buyer unless agreed otherwise Developer says contracts are typically signed 2 to 4 weeks after reservation Stamp Duty Law, developer guide
Register the stamped contract and apply for the permit Buyer in person, by proxy or through a lawyer Within 1 month, or the contract is void (decree) RG 147
Council of Ministers permit, published in the Resmi Gazete Interior Ministry, Council of Ministers No statutory limit; developer says several months up to a year developer guide
Sign the transfer at the district Land Registry office Buyer and seller Within 1 year of publication (decree); 6 months in the consolidated text RG 147, Law 52/2008
Pay transfer fees The person registering title Within 75 working days of publication (decree); 60 in the consolidated text RG 147, RG 197

The permit application fee is half of the gross monthly minimum wage, which has stood at TL 70,893 since 1 July 2026, so TL 35,446.50 (calculated).

Land Registry fees on a sale to a foreign buyer, set by a regulation in Resmi Gazete No. 197 of 7 October 2026, are 4 per cent for a first property, 5.5 per cent for a second and 6 per cent for a third, valid only until 5 January 2027 inclusive. The sources do not say whether the base is the price or an assessed value; agency pages quote other rates from before the schedule, so quotations differ.

Stamp duty is 0.5 per cent of the sum stated in the agreement, converted into lira at the official effective selling rate on the stamping date. On the developer’s GBP 160,000 minimum, a stamp of 0.5 per cent would be GBP 800, and a first-property Land Registry fee of 4 per cent would be GBP 6,400 if the base were the price (both calculated; real figures depend on the actual price).

VAT of 5 per cent applies to housing up to 300 m² of closed area; whether it applies on a private resale was not established.

Risks, title and due diligence

The developer states no title-deed category for the project, so nothing about the quality of title can be inferred from the listing. UK Government guidance says ownership of many properties in the north is disputed, that the European Court of Human Rights has treated pre-1974 owners as continuing legal owners, and that exchange or “gift” land carries restitution risk. These are general warnings, not findings about this site, and the title-deed guide sets out the categories in plain terms.

Courts and remedies exist on both sides. The Immovable Property Commission reports, as of 2 October 2026, 8,807 applications lodged and 3,757 concluded, and Law 67/2005 allows applications until 21 December 2027. The Court of Justice held in the Orams case that a Republic of Cyprus judgment about land in the north can be enforced elsewhere in the EU, and the UK guidance warns about a Republic of Cyprus offence in force since 20 October 2006 for dealing in property without the registered owner’s permission.

Several risks are specific to buying a delivered unit second-hand. The seller is a private owner, not the developer, so any statement about quality, rental management or service levels must be documented. UK guidance names builders’ lawyers acting for both sides, missing permits, payment plans left out of contracts, difficulty getting final completion certificates and title deeds, and developer mortgages on the land among Cyprus-wide problems. The Foreign Office also cautions that its consular support in the north is limited.

The unit must fit the legal limits, because selling beyond them is an offence with a fine of up to 500 times the gross monthly minimum wage. The Republic of Cyprus does not recognise residence permits issued in the north, and European Union law is suspended there under Protocol 10. A purchase does not change either point.

Stamped contract and permit publication Tax Department; Resmi Gazete (Interior Ministry file) Missed deadlines make the contract or permit void RG 147
Tax and utility clearance Local authority and the electricity authority Connections wait until fees are paid RG 147

Phase confusion is a practical risk on this project: an advertisement that cites Four Seasons Life without the phase number may refer to a different building with different dates and a different completion status. Ask for the unit’s block, floor and registry number, and match them to the title.

How Four Seasons Life II Iskele compares with the other Döveç projects on this site

The table lists all twelve Döveç listings with the developer’s published figures as shown on dovecgroup.com on 18 October 2026. Starting prices are the developer’s published minimums, not fixed prices, and page and listing-card figures differ for four ongoing projects. For delivered projects the developer lists no availability, and units may be obtainable only on the resale market.

Among the eight projects that show a price, the second phase’s GBP 160,000 is the fifth lowest, above Courtyard Platinum (127,000), D-Point (132,000), Four Seasons Life III (135,000) and Querencia (156,000), and below La Casalia (178,000), La Isla Villas and Natulux (220,000 each). Ranking by a published minimum says little: the figures cover different unit types, ongoing projects offer off-plan units and delivered ones are resale.

The nearest comparison is the third phase, which has 738 units, is due in December 2026 and lists 27 amenities against 33 here; the first phase, listed at 24 amenities, was delivered in April 2019. For the wider market, the Northern Cyprus country page lists the full portfolio, and the cost guide covers purchase expenses in more general terms. None of this suggests that one project is better than another.

Döveç Group: what the developer states

This section reports only what the developer’s About page states. The page says Döveç Group was founded in 1989 by Muharrem Döveç and has 36 years of history, 16 group companies and over 2,500 specialists. It states that more than 5,000 homes have been delivered and that it serves investors from over 50 countries. These are the developer’s own figures, unchecked.

The About page’s timeline says land parcelling began in 1989, that Döveç Brothers Ltd. was established in 1994 with its first major residential project in Yeniboğaziçi, and that Döveç Construction Ltd. was founded in 2003 and began developments across Yeniboğaziçi, İskele and Karpaz. It records a partnership with Eastern Mediterranean University in 2015, alongside a student residence and a fitness company, and a 2022 launch of Querencia, which it calls the most ambitious mixed-use development in Northern Cyprus history.

The page also says the group has won 22 international awards, led by the PropertyNC awards. It does not say which award relates to which project, so none is attributed to Four Seasons Life II Iskele here. The site also promotes a customer app, Dovec Life, described as holding a home, reservations, payments and services; what it covers for resale owners is not stated.

Its investment guide adds that a foreign buyer needs a permission to purchase from the Council of Ministers, that property management is available after handover, and that it supplies property-specific data rather than projected figures. Those are developer statements, not checked against any contract.

Frequently asked questions

Is Four Seasons Life II Iskele finished?

The developer’s page lists a delivery date of July 2024 and marks the project as delivered. It gives no completion certificate, occupancy date or snagging record, so those facts have to come from the seller. UK Government guidance names difficulty in obtaining final completion certificates and title deeds among the common property problems in Cyprus, which is why a buyer asks for the final approval certificate and the unit’s own title before paying.

The developer’s own data describe a “Four Seasons Life” of 738 units as completed, so confirm the phase.

How much does a unit at Four Seasons Life II Iskele cost?

The only price is “Starting From £160,000” for a 1+1 Loft, as shown on dovecgroup.com on 18 October 2026. It is a developer’s published minimum, not a fixed price or an offer. The project is listed as delivered and the page lists no availability, so units may be obtainable only on the resale market, where the seller sets the price. No size is published, so no price per square metre can be derived. Ask for a dated written statement of what is actually for sale and at what price.

What sizes and unit types does the project offer?

The page lists one type, 1+1 Loft, and gives no size, floor plan or bathroom count. The developer’s other pages show that the third phase has a 53 m² loft, but nothing says the two share plans. A resale seller should supply the area recorded on the title or the condominium plan. The bedroom count of 1 is read from the type name, not stated by the developer. No terrace, balcony or loft-level area is published.

Can a foreigner buy a unit in the second phase?

Buying needs a purchase permit from the Council of Ministers. As of 17 October 2026, under Decree-Law 89/2026 (Resmi Gazete No. 147, 7 August 2026), up to 3 apartments may be held, but the decree’s 90-day validity ends about 5 November 2026 unless Parliament enacts it, and the consolidated Law 52/2008 shows 1 apartment. The rule therefore depends on the decree being in force or enacted. The unit also needs condominium title or easement, and housing projects in zoned areas are capped at 80 per cent sales to foreigners.

What are the transfer fees?

Under the schedule in Resmi Gazete No. 197 of 7 October 2026, the Land Registry fee is 4 per cent for a foreign buyer’s first property, 5.5 per cent for the second and 6 per cent for the third, valid only until 5 January 2027 inclusive, and the person registering title pays it. Stamp duty on the sale agreement is 0.5 per cent and the buyer bears it unless agreed otherwise. Agency pages quote other figures from before the schedule, so quotations differ; check the official text when signing.

What does it cost to own a unit each year?

The developer publishes no service charge. Property tax under the 2025 schedule (the latest located) is TL 6.60 per m² up to 120 m² and TL 7.15 above, with surcharges of 10 to 60 per cent by category. Rental income carries a 10 per cent withholding, final for individuals. Water, electricity, insurance and management charges have no published tariff. The running-costs section of this guide lists the questions to put to the building’s management, and the cost guide gives a general overview.

Is there a rental programme in the project?

The developer says the project is supported by a “Professional Rental Management System” and that the group handles operational details and maintenance. That is a marketing statement; its terms, fees and any income figure are unpublished, and no yield is given here. Letting for up to 60 days falls under the Holiday Houses Law, which requires registration and an operating permit. For general rules see the short-let compliance guide, and confirm any programme in writing before relying on it.

Where exactly is Four Seasons Life II Iskele?

The developer publishes only “İskele”: no address, plot number or coordinates. Its other listings use labels such as “Long Beach · İskele”, which this phase does not carry. A buyer verifies the location through the unit’s registry number at the district Land Registry office, the municipal building permit and the plot number the seller can document. The table of nearby places above measures from public reference points in İskele, not from the project.

How is the second phase different from phases one and three?

Phase I was delivered in April 2019 and lists 24 amenities. Phase II was delivered in July 2024, has 329 units and lists 33 amenities. Phase III has 738 units, a December 2026 delivery date and 27 amenities, with prices from £135,000 and sizes published. Where a delivery date falls on or before 31 December 2026, a buyer should confirm the handover status in writing. The three phases are listed as separate projects.

Does buying here give residence or citizenship?

No. As of 17 October 2026, the Residence and Visa Regulation (text of 5 October 2026) gives a property-based permit if the home is suitable and used for residence: with the title deed in the applicant’s name, a 5-year permit below GBP 300,000 and 10 years at GBP 300,000 or more. With only a stamped contract, a lower value needs proof of income. Citizenship needs 5 years of residence or a special decision. Background is in the residency guide and the citizenship guide.
