Understanding land vs. built properties in North Cyprus
I’m torn between buying a small parcel of land in Lefke and a completed apartment in Girne. Both options seem appealing for different reasons, but I’m unsure how the legal steps differ when purchasing land compared to residential units. Some listings mention that plots require additional checks before the contract can be registered, while completed homes seem more straightforward. Since I’m planning my budget and timeline carefully, I don’t want unexpected delays. If anyone has experience buying either land or a finished property in North Cyprus, how did the process compare in terms of registrations, approvals, and required documents?

I’ve had a similar setup for a retractable shade system, and what I learned is that an actuator’s power draw spikes a lot under load, especially when starting or stopping. A more robust unit with position feedback ended up being way more predictable and didn’t stall as often. I used something like this — https://www.progressiveautomations.com/products/linear-actuator-with-potentiometer — and having the potentiometer feedback allowed the controller to adjust current and avoid wasting energy. Over time, that really helped reduce strain on the batteries and kept the whole system running smoother.
