Türkiye’de Emlak Almak

BUYING PROPERTY

Buying property in Turkey is very simple.

At this stage, you are only required to give a copy of your passport and two photographs.

Then you make a payment according to the payment schedule clearly defined in the agreement.

Upon this payment, the proceedings at the Title-Deeds Office are initiated by us.

The owner of the property/seller will prepare an application form , a copy of the property legal papers, together with the copy of your passport and send them to the Army Headquarters in İzmir for clearance. This process will take between 6 to 8 weeks and we will watch the procedure on behalf of the client/purchaser. From the 1st January 2006, the property location has to be checked by the municipality. The check is carried out to ensure that the land you are buying does not fall within any military zone. Depending on the area of purchasing dictates the Military application fee, to be paid by the purchaser. Character checks are also made.

When all the checks have been conducted and the papers returned to us, we will contact you so that you can arrange a suitable date to return to Turkey to receive a leaving permission.

You do not have to stay in Turkey as we will contact you as soon as the necessary paperwork has been received back from İzmir.

On the day of transfer, the Buyer, Vendor and Estate Agent will go to the Title Deeds Office and complete the paperwork. The paperwork consists of all the legal issues (title deeds, land registry etc) and financial issues.
