Purchase procedure

Real estate buyers from abroad receive full security for the purchased property. Hence, the acquisition of property in Turkey is rather uncomplicated. Actually it is very easy to secure yourself, if you can get good advice and use professional help. This is one of the main points, just think how a lack of language skills and lack of experience of legal matters in this situation for you unfavourable can be.

The nationality, popularity or the sympathy of the broker should not be your decision to buy a property. It is interesting to note that, according to statistics, most of cheated buyers from abroad are victims of their own compatriots. This is probably because they know the reactions of prospective buyer’s best and, in most cases, have no bonds in the country.

As everywhere in the world, also in Turkey are rules, laws and formalities to be followed. These are as follows:

» Turkey has with more than 80 countries a reciprocal agreement on purchase / sale of property, including
   all European countries.
» Except village territories and military zones, the acquisition of real estate is possible without any
   restrictions.
» According to Turkish law, the acts of buying and selling property are registered by the Land Registry
   Office and not by a notary.
» The Land register transference lasts approx. 2 months, because previously the Land Registry has to
   receive a confirmation from the military administration that real estate isn’t in a military zone.
