Nearly 9,000 Applications to the Immovable Property Commission (IPC) in Northern Cyprus
Latest Figures on Property Claims, Settlements and Compensation in 2026
The Immovable Property Commission (IPC) in Northern Cyprus continues to be an important option for Greek Cypriot property owners who wish to claim compensation or seek other solutions for their properties in Northern Cyprus.
According to the Commission's official figures dated 23 October 2026, 8,820 applications have been submitted, bringing the total close to 9,000.
This shows that many property owners continue to use the IPC to seek a solution to their property claims.
How Many Applications Have Been Settled?
According to the official figures:
- 8,820 applications have been submitted.
- 3,787 applications have been concluded.
- £783,124,123 has been awarded in compensation.
This means that approximately 43% of all applications have been concluded.
Of the remaining applications, some are still ongoing, while others may have been withdrawn or otherwise discontinued.
The amount of compensation awarded shows the important role the Commission continues to play in resolving property claims.
Are Most Cases Settled by Agreement or Through Hearings?
Most concluded IPC cases have been resolved through agreements between the applicants and the Commission, without the need for a full hearing.
This shows that reaching an agreement has been the main way of resolving IPC applications.
Where an agreement cannot be reached, applicants may proceed to a formal hearing, depending on the circumstances of their case.
Is the IPC Still an Option for Property Owners?
Yes. The number of applications and the compensation awarded show that the IPC continues to be an option for property owners seeking to resolve their property claims in Northern Cyprus.
Under Law No. 67/2005, the Commission considers applications for compensation, the return of property or exchange of property.
Each application is considered separately, and the outcome depends on the circumstances of the individual case.
