The Buying Process:

The buying process in Turkey is generally straight forward, however, one consideration is that you will need to apply for a security clearance to allow you to own a property in Turkey- this will often be applied for on your behalf by the developer.

Here we have simplified the buying process for you:

• You give us your property requirements

• We arrange a viewing trip to view a selection of properties that match your requirements or we send you details of the properties that you have chosen from our website.

• We arrange for a meeting with our recommended mortgage advisor and legal advisor either in the UK or in Turkey.

• On a new development, you will normally pay a £2,000 reservation fee and 30% as a deposit within four weeks. Most developers offer stage payments often with a degree of flexibility towards your own personal circumstances. This will be agreed at the time of purchase.

• The lawyer will carry out the title checks and a contract will be signed between the seller and the purchaser, giving details of the completion date, payment schedule and terms and conditions.

• The deposit is paid and a security clearance application is submitted.

• Checks are made by the Army to ensure there is no record of criminal intent or activity against Turkey.

• The lawyer will carry out pre-completion checks and you (or your Power of Attorney) will sign a deed of transfer in front of an officer of the Land Registry.

• You are now the official owner of the property.
