Buying
Property In Turkey is
a lot easier than in many other European
countries.
The purchase of a
property is completed in four stages...
Once you are happy and found a
suitable property to purchase a non-refundable
holding deposit is taken to secure the property
/ plot.
The property / plot will then
be reserved and will be held for 30 days.
In order to acquire the title
of a property, an application has to be
submitted to the local land registry
office.
After carrying out necessary
searches and checks, the transfer of the title
is done by the land registry office.
In Turkey, it is legally
compulsory for the seller and the buyer to be
present at the entry in the property register.
The developer will draw
up a contract with the buyer detailing the
agreed terms and conditions of the purchase.
A legal translator will
be present at all stages to represent the buyer.
The legal translator then
takes the buyers passport (s) to the Notary for
translation.
This is necessary for
the security and property location checks.
The translation takes a
maximum of half an hour, after which the
passport (s) will be returned to the buyer.
Once the application has been
approved by the Land Registry Office, it takes
2-3 for months for the security and property
location checks to be made and approved.
On newly built properties,
within 3 months of the construction finishing,
the buyer must complete an affidavit and submit
it to the local government for tax purposes.
The builders are happy
to guide customers through this process for the
first time.
