Property Buying Process

Property Buying process  for foreigners in Turkey is straight forward and simply explained  in  4 simple steps...

step 1 - agreement
Once you have decided which property to buy; you need to sign an "agreement" between the
Estate Agency and pay 10% amount of the property price as deposit to reserve it, so it can not be sold by the  property owner to somebody else, until the procedures done.
* Photocopy of your passport and 4 passport size pictures needed at this level.

step 2 - start up
We go to  "deed office"  to start the procedures of buying the property...

step 3 - waiting for Government approval
In Turkey, it takes minimum of 6-10 weeks to get the approval (by the Government Departments) for your application .

step 4 - registering
As soon as the approval (permission) delivered to "deed office" , the property can be transferred into your name.

On top of the legal costs & the price of the property, the Estate Agency charges you a 3% commission on the total value of the property.
