Property in Turkey - the Buyers Guide.

The buyer should be aware about different types of title deeds for the property in Turkey.

A vast majority of properties for sale in Turkey do not have planning permission and were not built to a high standard. It is highly recommended to do a survey on re-sale properties in Turkey to avoid heavy repair expense afterwards. In our opinion the newly built property from a reputable developer in Turkey would provide the best money for value deal in the short and long term.

Once you decide on the villa in Turkey from our range the procedures are as following:

1. The big developers in Turkey have got their own sales contract that determines the terms and conditions of the sale. The buyer normally familiarises himself with the contract with the help of a registered translator. We will make all arrangements.

2. When the contract is read and understood, the translator takes the buyer's passport to the notary public to for translation. This does not normally take longer than 30 minutes.

3. Developer and a Buyer take the contract to a solicitor, together with a copy of the title deeds. The solicitor verifies that the copy from the Registry office agrees with the copy of the title deeds of the developer. At this stage the contract is signed in front of several witnesses and becomes legally binding.

4. The developer transfers the title deeds into the Buyer's name after all outstanding payments for the property are made.

5. On transfer of the title deeds both parties have to be present at Land Registry office. The buyer has to pay 3% tax on the cost of the bought property (normally split 50:50 with the developer). You do not have to there in person, if you leave the power of Attorney to your solicitor. He will be representing your interests when you are away.We handpick the properties for sale in Turkey as if we were buying a villa or apartments for ourselves. We choose only the reputable developers in Turkey to work with to have a peace of mind for quality and service. We value your custom when buying a property in Turkey and would treat you the way we would like to be treated!
