Moving to the TRNC Survey
The survey has closed. Thank you if you participated.
The results of the BRS survey to find the key factors for British nationals moving to the TRNC are
summarised in the table below.
As you can see, the climate, property/rental prices and the cost of living were the most significant
considerations whilst business/work/education, to be closer to family and/or friends and TRNC’s lack of
diplomatic ties ranked highest for not being a significant factor.
Many thanks to all those members that took part.

- Unspoilt, underdeveloped (at the time of moving)
- Getting away from family and friends!!!
