Do I need a solicitor in North Cyprus or can I use my lawyer at home?

It is not possible to use your existing personal Conveyancing lawyer in the UK or other country of origin to purchase a property in Northern Cyprus.  It is very important to appoint your own independent legal advisor in the TRNC as there are various important “on island” legal processes which have to be carried out to establish your ownership and which cannot be done by a lawyer outside of the country – the first is obtaining Permission to Purchase or P2P (see below).
