Step by step to your second home in Turkey:
You have found suitable property for you and now you want to
proceed with the purchasing transaction. The purchase
procedure will be as follows:
Purchase agreement:
Sales contract is written in your own language and in the
Turkish language. In this contract are described all details
of the property, both involved parties, estate agency,
payment terms, purchase / sale conditions and any changes to
the property according to buyer’s will. In addition to the
sales contract, you will also receive the following
attachments: a copy of the land register extract, containing
information about the property and the current owner, a
stamped and signed copy of the official planning permit from
competent authorities, ground plan of the object and an
inventory including material information.
In Turkey, real estate purchase isn’t implemented by a
notary or a lawyer. The duties and responsibilities of
notaries in Turkey aren’t the same as in Europe and don’t
include property registration. This is done directly in the
Land Registry office. There is no alternative body or
authority competent to carry out land registry entries.
However, such a contract can be authenticated by a notary
and later, if necessary act as witness. If the buyer wants a
authenticated copy of the contract then of course it is
always possible.
To transact the contract, following documents are
necessary:
»
Valid passport or identity card
»
4 passport format photos
»
Turkish tax number
Acquiring tax number is not difficult and the application
for this is done by us. The tax number is issued at the
local tax office within few minutes. In Turkey tax number is
necessary not only for land registration but also for
example, to buy a car or scooter, open a bank account or to
appoint a proxy via a notary. The tax number is similar to
ID card where all your data such as name and address are
registered in Turkey.
After signing the contract, the above mentioned documents
and the documents of the seller (current owner) the
ownership and the cadastral data of the property, including
the cadastral plan, of which the property is identified in
the Land Registry office, submitted to the Land Registry
office to transfer the property on your behalf. The title
deeds (called Tapu in Turkey) can be recorded on multiple
names. For example, if five people want to buy a property,
then all five people are described on the title deed. After
submitting all documents to the Land Registry office, it
takes about 2-3 months to transfer the title deed (Tapu).
The waiting is because every property, bought by foreigners,
should be first checked by the military authorities to be
sure that the property isn’t in a military zone. Once
confirmation is received, we make an appointment with the
Land Registry office with all parties present. Then the
transfer takes place within one hour. It is mandatory that
during the transfer, a certified translator must be present
for spoken transmission and the translation of the
documents. Also, any transfer or transaction in the Land
registry must be done in the presence of translator.
Obviously all the above formalities for the issuance of the
deeds (Tapu) on your behalf will by us supervised, monitored
and guaranteed.
Summary:

2. All necessary documents are collected by us and delivered
