OFFICIAL PROCESS
Buying property in Turkey is far less complicated than in the UK
or any other European Country. The Estate Agent plays a more
active part in "managing" the process. Generally speaking the
entire process takes between 2 to 6 weeks.
Foreign nationals may purchase most types of property in Turkey
in their own names and when the time comes to sell, the proceeds
of the sale may be transferred out of Turkey.
Before selling a property, we, first of all, designates a price
with the help an expert and carries out a legal and technical
survey with regard to the property. Then a report is prepared
related to the property for sale.
In the portfolio of Realest are properties with normal market
prices and which have no legal obstacles in terms of purchase.
Realest is granted the full power to market the properties on
behalf of their owners.
Commissions and title-deed expenditures are all included in the
purchase price.
When you have expressed an interest in buying a property, an
agreement is prepared setting out the terms and conditions of
the purchase. A duly signed copy of that agreement and a copy of
the title-deed of the property are given to you.
At this stage, you are only required to give a copy of your
passport and four 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 Realest .
We will prepare a letter, a copy of the legal papers, together
with the copy of your passport and send them to the Army
Headquarters in Izmir for clearance.This process will take
between 2 to 6 weeks. The checks are made to ensure that the
land you are buying does not fall within any Military zone.
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 sign the Contract and undertake the
money transfer.
Before leaving for Europe, it is advisable to open a bank
account with a Turkish bank (to enable you to transfer the
remaining monies). You do not have to stay in Turkey as we will
contact you as soon as the necessary paperwork has been received
back from Izmir.
On the day of transfer, the Buyer, Seller 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. Financial affairs are
concluded, signatures exchanged and the title deeds of your
property are registered in your name .
After you have purchased the property we will accompany you to
the various department offices to get the utilities changed to
your name.
Please rest assured that our company will provide the best
service throughout your property purchase proceedings, each step
taken carefully according to the law.
