In Northern Cyprus the title category — not the building — decides how secure your ownership is. We confirm the category for this project in writing before any money moves.
How the four categories differ →Carrington 44 Kyrenia is a completed, 16-apartment building that the developer Carrington lists in the city centre of Kyrenia (Girne), with a delivery year of 2019. The developer’s page publishes no price, unit sizes, floor plans or title-deed category; it gives one map pin, three unit-type labels (1+1, 2+1 and 3+1) and a short exterior gallery. This guide sets out what the page states, where it is silent, what official sources say about Kyrenia and which checks apply to a completed building. Rules are stated as of 26 October 2026.

The developer’s project page for Carrington 44 Kyrenia shows a card with four entries: delivery date 2019, location “City Center, Kyrenia”, 16 units, and the unit types 1+1, 2+1 and 3+1. The projects list repeats the card, and the Turkish and German versions of the page show the same values. The Russian version has no card. The FAQ on the English page answers “yes” to the question whether the building is completed. On these points the page does not contradict itself.
Almost everything else is absent. There is no price, no “from” figure, no floor area, no plan, no count per unit type and no statement of which apartments are unsold. The payment-plan section is one paragraph describing a reservation deposit, a down payment at contract stage and instalments, without an amount, percentage or date. Because the building is described as completed, availability and prices are not published, and units may only be obtainable on the resale market.
Two features of the page limit how much weight its text can bear. The Unit Types section contains a stray editorial line about confirming unit types and sizes, which indicates that the section was drafted from a template and left unfinished. And several sentences recur on other Carrington city-centre pages, among them a generic investment paragraph and the payment FAQ line. Statements about rental demand and resale liquidity come without data and are not repeated here.
The page’s structured data gives 18 March 2026 as the publication date and 14 April 2026 as the last modification. The server sends no Last-Modified header, so those two dates are the only dating the page offers. Everything below rests on the page as read on 26 October 2026.

The page lists three apartment types, 1+1, 2+1 and 3+1, on the card, in the Unit Types section and in the answer about the number of units. It gives no count per type, so the split of the 16 apartments across the three types is unknown. The description of the building as a “boutique” block says nothing about proportions, and a building of this size could hold almost any mix.
The labels follow the notation of North Cyprus listings, in which the first number is the bedroom count and “+1” is a living room. The developer’s own Carrington 55 page supports that reading: its card says 3+1, its text says three bedrooms, and its German version counts four rooms. For Carrington 44 the labels are the only description, so bathrooms, balconies and terraces have to be requested apartment by apartment.
The gallery photographs are exterior views, and the set prepared for this listing holds two distinct angles, one of them repeated with a sun flare. According to the image description prepared for this listing, the hero image shows a building with glazed balconies and a shop at street level. The text speaks of apartments only, so whether the street-level space belongs to the project, and who owns it, is not stated.
| Carrington 44 Kyrenia item | What is published | Source line |
|---|---|---|
| 1+1 apartment | Label only | Card; Unit Types section |
| 2+1 apartment | Label only | Card; Unit Types section |
| 3+1 apartment | Label only | Card; Unit Types section |
| Count per type | Not published | The total of 16 appears on the card, FAQ and feature line |
| Floor area per type | Not published | No plan or area table on the page |
| Bathrooms | Not published | No figure in any language version |
| Balcony or terrace area | Not published | Balconies are visible in a photograph; no areas |
| Building height and lift | “Low-rise”; elevator access | Text and features list; the number of floors is not published |
| Parking | “Parking space” (features); “on-site parking” (text) | Number of spaces and their allocation are not published |

A schedule prepared by the seller closes most of these gaps. The following should be requested in writing before any figure is relied on:
Sizes printed for another building describe that building only. The Elite Residence text, for the block about 80 m away on the map, gives internal ranges of 60-67, 70-85 and 100 m2 for its three bedroom counts, and the Atlantis Beach plans in Tatlisu print closed areas of 60 to 100 m2. Neither figure says anything about Carrington 44, whose page prints no area at all, so a comparison across Carrington buildings needs the schedule above for each building.
The page says the building stands in central Kyrenia and lists four location points: walking distance to supermarkets and daily amenities, close proximity to schools and universities, easy access to hospitals and public services, and a short drive to Kyrenia Harbour and the coast. It names no street, supermarket, school or hospital and gives no distance. The only locational datum is the map pin at 35.3362 N, 33.3194 E, embedded from Google Maps on the English page.
OpenStreetMap, read through a Nominatim lookup on 26 October 2026, places that coordinate on a parking area on İnönü Caddesi, in the neighbourhood it labels Lower Kyrenia (Aşağı Girne). That is a map reading, not the address of the building, and a four-decimal pin is only accurate to roughly ten metres.
The Elite Residence pin on the developer’s other Kyrenia page is about 80 m away, calculated from the two pairs of coordinates. A buyer should therefore anchor the location in a parcel number and a Land Registry search, not in the pin.
The table below measures from the pin to places that match the page’s four points. Straight-line figures are haversine distances between OpenStreetMap coordinates; road figures and minutes are public OSRM car-route estimates on OpenStreetMap data, with no traffic, no border queues and no formalities. The developer names none of these places, so the table tests the claims; it does not restate them.
| Nearby places and distances from the Carrington 44 pin | What it is | Straight-line | By road (OSRM) | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kyrenia harbour | Harbour on Deniz Sokak | 0.57 km | 0.8 km, 2 min | OSM node 2151133556; OSRM route |

| Larnaca Airport | Republic of Cyprus airport | 58.51 km | 78.3 km, 79 min, crossing the Green Line | OSM way 384792729; OSRM route |
Read against the page’s claims, the table shows the harbour, the castle and the state hospital all within about one kilometre of the pin, and two university campuses within about four. That fits the wording “short drive” and “easy access to hospitals”, but it does not test “walking distance to supermarkets”, because the page names no shop.
The larger distances matter for planning the use of an apartment here. Ercan is about 47 km by road, and a route to Larnaca crosses the Green Line, where UK Government travel advice says a person who enters the Republic of Cyprus via the north, for example via Ercan, is considered by its authorities to have entered illegally (see the FCDO entry-requirements page).
Kyrenia is one of the north’s six districts. At the 2011 census, the latest available, Girne district had 69,163 residents (36,718 men and 32,445 women), which is 24.2% of the TRNC total of 286,257 (calculated). Girne municipality had 33,207, and the census ward table lists Lower Kyrenia (Aşağı Girne) at 4,471 and Upper Kyrenia (Yukarı Girne) at 16,380; the wards listed under Girne sum to the municipal 33,207.
These figures use pre-2022 boundaries, and no later census exists, so they give the town’s order of magnitude and not today’s population. The census tables are the district table, the municipality table and the ward table; the merger of municipalities is set out in Law 15/2022.
Health services are the strongest point in the district data. The Ministry of Health’s state-hospital list names Girne Dr. Akçiçek State Hospital among the six state hospitals, and the Statistical Yearbook 2024 records one state in-patient institution in Girne district with 72 beds and five private ones with 112 beds; the Akçiçek hospital had 189 staff.
A new Girne hospital was reported on 28 January 2026 to have finished construction, with equipment installation and staffing continuing and about 148 beds planned (BRTK report); no opening date was found, so it is not treated as open.
The Girne weather station recorded monthly means from 15.0 C in January to 30.7 C in July in 2024, a mean of the twelve monthly means of 22.0 C (calculated), and 510.2 mm of rain, of which 197.0 mm fell in January and 114.0 mm in December (Statistical Yearbook 2024, a single year and not a climate normal).
The same yearbook records 79 accommodation establishments with 15,208 beds in Girne district, 54.5% of the TRNC’s 27,910 beds (calculated), including 15 five-star hotels with 9,176 beds. Construction statistics for 2025 count 344 dwellings with final approval in urban Kyrenia and 1,460 in rural Kyrenia, against 887 in urban Nicosia; they are compiled only from buildings that obtained final approval (Construction and Parcel Statistics 2025). Whether that tourism and building activity helps or burdens a city-centre apartment is not something these data answer.
Most Carrington pages need their dates and counts reconciled. The page for Carrington 44 Kyrenia has a different problem: it says little, and what it says is consistent. It reports completion in 2019, so on 26 October 2026 the building is seven years past its delivery year (calculated from the card). The work for a buyer is therefore verification of a standing building, and the questions are the ones that apply to any completed block of 16 apartments.
First, who sells. The page does not say whether apartments remain unsold in the developer’s hands or whether any offer would come from a private owner. A developer sale and a resale differ in paperwork and in who can answer questions about construction.
The VAT regulation of 7 October 2026 puts housing with a closed area up to 300 m2 in the 5% schedule and 300 m2 or more in the 10% schedule; the page prints no area, so the threshold cannot be tested from it. Agency pages say VAT applies to new builds sold by developers and not to private resales, but the official regulation read for this guide does not say so.
Second, identity. The card of Carrington 44 shows 16 units, and so does the card of Elite Residence, whose own text describes 38 apartments in two seven-storey blocks. The two pins are about 80 m apart. The developer’s other numbered Kyrenia pages (Carrington 22, Carrington 55 and Carrington 11) add three more buildings with their own counts. None of this shows an error on the Carrington 44 page.
It is, however, a reason to tie any offer to a parcel number and an apartment number and not to a project name.
Third, the foreign-purchase caps, which bite harder in a small building. Under Decree-Law 89/2026 (Resmi Gazete No. 147, 7 August 2026), foreign buyers may not together buy more than half of the units on the same parcel if they are first-degree relatives or of the same nationality, and the decree caps sales of housing projects in zoned areas at 80% to foreigners.
In a 16-apartment building half is 8 and 80% is 12.8 (both calculated); how the Land Registry rounds, and whether the 80% cap applies to a single building, are legal questions the sources do not settle.
Fourth, the warranty. The developer’s shared text on the page refers to a five-year structural warranty. If the five years ran from a 2019 handover, they ended in 2024 (calculated); the page does not say when the period starts, whether it passes to a later owner, what it covers or who stands behind it. A warranty is only as useful as the document, so the start date, scope and issuer should be requested in writing.
Fifth, running costs. The page names no service charge, no management company and no insurance arrangement, so a buyer has to ask who runs the lift, the cleaning and the building insurance, what each costs and who sets the charge.
Annual immovable property tax follows the 2025 schedule, the latest found: for normal construction a base of TL 6.60 per m2 up to 120 m2 and TL 7.15 above, with surcharges of 10% to 60% by category and a 15% reduction only for buildings built in 2000 or earlier, which a 2019 building cannot claim (Tax Department schedule). No official tariff for notary fees, legal fees or utility connection fees was found.
The letting rules are separate: a lease for tourism purposes of up to 60 days is a holiday-house letting that needs registration and an operating permit under the Holiday Houses Law, and rent is taxed at 10% withholding (see the renting-out guide).

A numbered order of work for a completed building:
A purchase in the north is a trail of papers, each with its own office and clock. The order below follows the paperwork of a completed building, starting from the title and ending with the connection of utilities. All rules are stated as of 26 October 2026, and several depend on Decree-Law 89/2026.
That decree (Resmi Gazete No. 147, 7 August 2026) is a Council of Ministers decree, not an act of Parliament; it re-issued Decree-Law 63/2026 after the earlier decree’s 90-day validity ended. Its own 90 days end about 5 November 2026 unless Parliament enacts it, and whether Parliament has done so is not established in the sources.
The consolidated Law 52/2008 text on the legislation site still shows the stricter version from Law 39/2024. The Land Registry fee schedule (Resmi Gazete No. 197, 7 October 2026) is valid only until 5 January 2027 inclusive.
| Step | Document or act | Who | Deadline or fee | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Title search | Research document (araştırma belgesi) | Buyer or lawyer, at the district Tapu Amirliği | Before any payment; during the system roll-out only the district office where the property is registered handles it | Land Registry announcement |
| 2. Condominium title | Condominium title or easement for the unit | Seller; checked by buyer | Required before the permit application | Law 52/2008 |
| 3. Contract and stamp | Sale contract stamped at the Tax Department | Buyer pays stamp unless agreed otherwise | 0.5% of the contract sum; foreign-currency sums converted at the official rate on the stamping date | Stamp Duty Law |
| 4. Registration and application | Registration of the stamped contract; permit application to the Interior Ministry | Buyer, in person, by lawyer or by proxy | Within 1 month, after taxes and fees due on the sale are paid, or the contract is void automatically (decree) | RG 147 |
| 5. Permit | Council of Ministers purchase permit, published in the Resmi Gazete | Council of Ministers | Application fee half of the gross monthly minimum wage: TL 35,446.50 (calculated from TL 70,893) | Tax Department wage notice |
| 6. Fees | Land Registry transfer fees | Person registering title | Within 75 working days of the permit (decree) versus 60 (Law 39/2024 text); 4%, 5.5% or 6% by property count, valid to 5 Jan 2027 | RG 197 |
| 7. Title transfer | Transfer declaration signed at the Tapu Amirliği | Buyer and seller | Within 1 year of the permit (decree) versus 6 months (Law 39/2024 text) | RG 147 |
| 8. Utilities | Water and electricity connections | Municipality and electricity authority | Not given until taxes and fees are paid | RG 147 |
Three rules shape the plan for a small building. A foreign buyer may hold at most 3 apartments under the decree, or 1 under the Law 39/2024 text still shown on the legislation site; nationals of states that recognise the TRNC may hold 6.
The permit is a discretionary decision, and neither the law nor the decree sets a time limit for it. Applications are accepted in person, by proxy or through a lawyer, and the Interior Ministry’s published document list names the papers, including an original police record from the applicant’s country.
Transitional rules give 24 months for existing contracts and 36 months for completed and delivered homes, which matters if a contract on a 2019 building was signed long ago; which period applies to a given contract is a question for a lawyer. A buyer who finds an old, unregistered contract on an apartment should treat that as a title question and not as a paperwork detail.
Where sources differ, the table shows both versions: the decree and the Law 39/2024 text disagree on the apartment cap and on the permit deadlines. Agency pages also quote Land Registry transfer fees of 6%, 9% or 12%, which do not match the only official schedule found (RG 197, 4%, 5.5% or 6% by property count), so quotations differ and only the official schedule is used here. The schedule expires on 5 January 2027, so fees for a transfer after that date must be re-checked.
For the general sequence, see the step-by-step buying guide and the guide for foreign buyers, and for the fee arithmetic the guide to taxes and fees.
The page states no title-deed category, so nothing about the title of Carrington 44 can be inferred from it (the title-deed guide explains the categories and the Land Registry search). In the north, the category (Turkish title, exchange title or another) and the pre-1974 history of the land decide much of the risk.
UK Government guidance says that 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 buyers could face proceedings in the Republic of Cyprus courts, with judgments enforceable elsewhere in the EU (the Orams case).
Kyrenia is the setting of the most widely cited property precedent: in Loizidou v. Turkey (1996) the applicant, who grew up in Kyrenia, won a finding that the denial of access to her property breached Article 1 of Protocol No. 1. The case shows the principle only and says nothing about any parcel in the town. The Immovable Property Commission offers a remedy for pre-1974 owners, but its bulletins carry no village or district names, so they cannot clear a Kyrenia parcel.
UK guidance also lists lawyers acting for both vendor and builder, building without correct permits, payment plans left out of contracts, difficulty obtaining final completion certificates and title deeds, and developer mortgages on the land as recurring problems. It notes a separate bar association for each district, Kyrenia included.
| What to ask for | Where it comes from | Why it matters | Verify at |
|---|---|---|---|
| Land Registry research document | District Tapu Amirliği | Shows registered owner, mortgages and restrictions | Tapu announcement |
| Title category and land history | Title itself; lawyer’s review | Turkish, exchange or other title; pre-1974 owner; restitution risk | UK guidance |
| Final approval certificate | Municipality that issued the building permit; ask the seller to name the office | Confirms the building was approved as completed; official statistics count only buildings with it | Construction statistics |
| Condominium title or easement | Land Registry | Required before the permit application; selling without it is an offence | Law 52/2008 |
| Mortgage or encumbrance | Land Registry | Reveals developer financing secured on the land | UK guidance |
| Purchase permit and deadlines | Interior Ministry; Council of Ministers | A missed deadline cancels the permit; a third application is barred | RG 147 |
| Foreign-purchase limits | Decree-Law 89/2026; Law 52/2008 | Caps per buyer, per parcel and per project | Law 52/2008 |
| Pre-1974 claims | Immovable Property Commission | Remedy for pre-1974 owners; bulletins carry no place names | IPC statistics |
| Independent lawyer | Kyrenia district bar | Avoids one lawyer acting for both sides | UK guidance |
Money and currency add their own risks. Foreign-currency contract amounts and remittances through banks are free under the Foreign Exchange Law, but the lira is the legal tender, and the TRNC consumer price index rose 35.02% in the twelve months to September 2026 (Statistical Institute).
The page prints no currency; other Carrington pages print pounds sterling, and stamp duty on a foreign-currency sum is computed in lira at the official rate. The residence rules are priced in pounds: a property-based residence permit of 10 years needs title and total property value of GBP 300,000 or more, and below that threshold the permit is for 5 years (Residence and Visa Regulation).
Buying does not confer citizenship, EU rights or an EU residence permit. The Commission states that EU law is suspended in the north, and the Republic of Cyprus does not recognise residence permits issued there. See the citizenship and immigration page and the guide on whether buying in the north is safe.
The table lists all 24 Carrington listings on this site with the values the developer’s pages printed when read on 26 October 2026. Prices are “Starting Price” figures in pounds sterling; where a page gives two values for one item, both are shown with their source. The row for Carrington 44 is this page.

Seven of the 24 listings are filed under Kyrenia, seven under Tatlisu, nine under Esentepe and one under Bahceli; 14 print a from-price and 10 do not. Within the Kyrenia group, Carrington 44 Kyrenia and Carrington 22 Kyrenia are the two whose cards show 2019, and Carrington 22 prints a price while Carrington 44 prints none.
Unit counts in the Kyrenia group run from 10 (Carrington 55) to 38 (Carrington 22 and the Elite Residence text), with 16 for Carrington 44, and the Park Avenue page combines 24 apartments with 36 commercial or office units. For the coastal schemes see the city pages for Tatlisu and Esentepe. The table is a record of what is printed, not a ranking. For price levels across towns see the prices guide, and for the country overview the Northern Cyprus page.
This section reports only what the developer’s own pages state. The About Us page describes Carrington Group as having developed, built and managed beachfront villas and apartments in North Cyprus for over 35 years, as family-run, and as award-winning; it names no award.
The project pages carry a shorter claim of over 30 years of experience, so the two statements differ by five years. The About page places the projects in coastal areas such as Kyrenia and Esentepe and says they follow horizontal architecture and low-density planning, a description that fits the seafront schemes more than a city-centre building like Carrington 44.
The developer lists internationally certified building materials and a 5-year structural warranty among what it provides in every development. It also lists services under one corporate structure: site and landscape maintenance, rental and property management, airport transfers, car rental, after-sales technical support, and legal and title-deed process management. The page also makes statements about rental performance and appreciation; they carry no figures and are not repeated here.
Two points follow for a buyer. A seller that offers title-deed process management is still the seller, and UK Government guidance recommends independent legal advice. The warranty, the maintenance services and the management arrangements are claims about services, whose terms, duration and cost have to be seen in a contract. The pages read for this guide do not name the legal entity that signs sale contracts.
The developer’s card gives a delivery date of 2019 and the FAQ on the English page answers “yes” to whether the building is completed; the Turkish and German versions repeat the 2019 card. The page does not publish a completion certificate, a handover record or a final approval number. A buyer can ask for the final approval certificate and can check the Land Registry for the condominium title of the specific apartment. The page does not contradict itself on this point, unlike several other Carrington pages.
The card, the FAQ and the feature line all say 16 apartments, and the Turkish and German cards also show 16. The page gives no count per unit type, so the split between 1+1, 2+1 and 3+1 is unknown. The Elite Residence card, for a building about 80 m away on the map, also shows 16 while its text describes 38 apartments, so a parcel number and an apartment number are the safer way to identify what is being offered.
The page does not publish a price: the card, the page text and the projects list all omit a “Starting Price”, and the payment-plan section gives no amounts. Other Carrington pages print prices in pounds sterling, for example GBP 189,950 for Elite Residence, GBP 249,950 for Carrington 55 and GBP 290,950 for Carrington 22, but those belong to other buildings and cannot be read across. The price of any apartment has to be obtained in writing, with its currency.
The page lists 1+1, 2+1 and 3+1 apartments, nothing else, and gives no floor areas, bathroom counts or plans. The labels normally mean one, two or three bedrooms plus a living room, and the developer’s Carrington 55 page treats 3+1 as three bedrooms. Any size must come from a seller’s unit schedule or from the registered area on the apartment’s title, because the Carrington 44 page itself prints none.
The page says City Center, Kyrenia, and its map pin is at 35.3362 N, 33.3194 E. OpenStreetMap puts that point about 0.57 km in a straight line from Kyrenia harbour and 0.67 km from the castle, with road distances of 0.8 and 1.1 km. The developer’s wording is “a short drive to Kyrenia Harbour and the Mediterranean coastline”. The page gives no street address or parcel number, so the exact plot has to be confirmed with the seller and the Land Registry.
The page describes a reservation deposit, a down payment at contract stage and instalments, and its FAQ says flexible options may be available depending on availability. It gives no percentage, amount, number of instalments or end date. Other Carrington pages show 35% and 65% over three years or 50% and 50% over one year, but those belong to different projects. For a completed building, a buyer should ask whether any instalment plan exists and read it in the contract.
The page states no title-deed category, so none can be assumed. In the north the title may be Turkish, exchange or another category, and UK Government guidance warns that pre-1974 ownership claims can create restitution risk. A buyer should obtain a Land Registry research document, have an independent lawyer review the chain of title for the parcel, and check whether a condominium title exists for the apartment before any money is paid.
Any foreign buyer needs a purchase permit from the Council of Ministers. Under Decree-Law 89/2026 (RG 147, 7 August 2026) up to 3 apartments are allowed, or 6 for nationals of states that recognise the TRNC, while the consolidated Law 52/2008 text still shows 1. The decree is a Council of Ministers instrument that lapses after about 90 days, around 5 November 2026, unless Parliament enacts it. The sale contract must be registered within 1 month, and the page itself says nothing about nationality rules.
As of 26 October 2026, the stamp on a sale contract is 0.5% of the sum, Land Registry fees for foreign buyers are 4%, 5.5% or 6% by property count under RG 197 (valid to 5 January 2027), and the permit application fee is half a gross monthly minimum wage, TL 35,446.50 (calculated). VAT is 5% for housing up to 300 m2 closed area; whether it applies to a resale is not established. Annual property tax follows the 2025 schedule, the latest found.
It gives neither automatically. A property-based short-term residence permit lasts 10 years if title is held and total property value is GBP 300,000 or more, and 5 years below that; permanent residence needs housing of at least EUR 125,000 and six continuous years. TRNC citizenship needs five years of residence or an exceptional decision. The Republic of Cyprus does not recognise residence permits issued in the north, and EU law is suspended there.
