Buying property in Turkey and buying
in the Europe are similar experiences. The main difference is
the requirement to obtain permission from the military to
purchase the property prior to completion, as non-nationals are
only permitted to buy within a designated town area.
Stages
Viewing properties
We will take you out as many times as you require (at no charge)
Deposit
When you have found your property and have agreed the price you
will be asked to pay a deposit. The deposit is usually 20 % of
the purchase price as agreed with the owner. However if you can
not pay it all at this stage you will be asked for a holding
deposit (normally €1000) with the remainder of the deposit
payable on your return home.
Contract
A contract will be drawn up between yourself and Prima Homes and
will be witnessed by a solicitor. It is also at this stage that
you will be asked to pay the estate agents commission which is
3% of the purchase price.
Paperwork
A copy of your passport will be taken to the government offices
where it will be translated and sent off to the army headquaters
at Izmir for authorization. The deeds will be applied for and
all necessary checks on the property will be carried out.
Power of attorney
You may wish to appoint a power of attorney at this stage. This
gives the appointed person the right to obtain the deeds and
transfer them into your name. This will save you having to
return to Turkey when the deeds are ready.
Deeds
When the deeds have been returned (usually 8-12 weeks) and all
the checks have been approved you will be asked to send the
balance of payment. When the money has been received the deeds
will be transferred into your name. In this stage the lawyer
will ensure that there are no debts outstanding on the property
– which would pass to the new owner. Once he is satisfied
everything is in order with the property title both the buyer
and seller are required to be present at the Land Registry
office, but your appointed solicitor to sign on your behalf.
