former TRNC Chief Justice, Taner Erginel, about Immovable Property Commission (IPC)

THE IMMOVABLE PROPERTY

COMMISSION

The Immovable Property Commission (IPC) was set up under the Immovable Property Law (67/2005) in accordance with the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Xenides-Arestis v Turkey. The purpose of this measure was to establish an effective domestic remedy for claims relating to abandoned properties in North Cyprus.

The IPC examines claims for restitution, compensation and exchange according to the provisions of the law 67/2005. Its considerations are based on the principles of bizonality and bicommunality which have been common elements of the 1977-1979 high level agreements as well as plans for a settlement of the Cyprus issue prepared by the United Nations. It seeks to satisfy the legitimate claims of property owners without prejudice to the rights of the Turkish Cypriot Community.

Erginel Law has helped a number of Greek Cypriots to apply to the IPC. Positive results have been achieved and applicants have expressed their satisfaction with the work undertaken.

Peyman Erginel represented Marian Philip at Court and managed to get an injunction to prevent the closure of the road by the neighbour. At the end of the legal battle, which took more than seven years, she successfully argued at the Supreme Court that the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus should rectify the negligence of the Republic of Cyprus Government. She managed to convince the TRNC Highways Department to build a new road approximately 350 metres long, across a valley, to Marian Philip's house. This new road was declared as 'public road', which increased the value of Marian's property substantially. Thus, after a long legal struggle, an apparently-insoluble disaster was turned into a triumph.

After lots of heartache, stress and sleepless nights, due to Peyman's belief in what my partner wanted, her experience, eloquence and tenacity in acting on my behalf, I now own my home. Lessons to be learnt by partners in the TRNC:EVERYTHING IN JOIN NAMES = TOTAL PEACE OF MIND and can be legally upheld. It goes without saying: go to a very good advocate that has the knowledges and the experience to help.

Eventually, on 18th May 2009, our house was transferred to us and we are now the registered owners of our retirement home. We are gratefully indebted to Peyman and cannot thank her enough for saving us from our nightmare experience.

Peyman managed to achieve two significant decisions. The first was being able to put an injunction on our property to prevent the Bank from selling our house and, secondly, putting a charge on our builders' other properties to ensure that any sale proceeds would go to removing the mortgage on our property. The bank still proved difficult but, eventually, Peyman managed to break the deadlock with her persistence. In January 2010, whilst we were on vacation in Spain, Peyman rang to tell us that the title was in our name. We now have our title deeds. So, what lessons do we have for any others looking to buy property here? 1. Don't be taken in by inexperienced lawyers. Go to someone with experience and integrity. 2. Litigation is expensive here. If you go to someone like Peyman from the outset you will avoid this. 3. Finally, although there are instances of lawyers that mislead and fail to act responsibly, Peyman demonstrates that she will fight for the rights of British property buyers.

I found the service absolutely professional. The staff were very friendly. And I greatly appreciate their advice and guidance. I couldn’t have got through the bureaucracy without them (and their stamps!!). Highly recommended
