Steps to buying a property in Turkey

Step 1: Research and obtain basic information

The real estate market in Turkey is growing day by day. There are thousands of properties for sale, as well as hundreds of real estate agencies in Turkey. First, look for the area in Turkey that is the most suitable place to buy a house in Turkey in terms of budget and lifestyle. You can also get help from iHomes consultants for guidance in this regard. And we will explain the best areas for buying property as well as the legal issues of buying property in this country to make the buying and choosing process easier for you.

Step 2 : Discovering Your Purpose

Buying property abroad is for most people a choice of lifestyle rather than just buying bricks and mortar. So the person you are dealing with should have a good understanding of the lifestyle you like and are looking for. If not, there will not be much chance of guiding you to the right area and type of investment. Turkey is a big country, bigger than France, and four times bigger than Britain, so there is a big difference between its different regions, in terms of climate, culture and landscape. Only a knowledgeable and empathetic counselor can guide you in the right direction.

You can also contact iHomes Consultants for more information. To provide you with the necessary information about scheduling and further coordination to visit projects. Also information such as flight time, hotel location or accommodation in Istanbul and….

Step 3: Visit the projects

Before buying a property in Turkey, travel to this country and see the projects and properties that you intend to buy and consider all aspects. Take at least a few days to explore different homes, landscapes and local lifestyles. And with your consultant, see all the projects you have in mind and check the technical information, price and additional descriptions.

Step 4: Select the project to book

After selecting the property you want, this property must be reserved so that you can continue the purchase process in the future. Booking a house in Turkey costs around  1,000 (€ 1,100) and is non-refundable.

This amount will be paid to the seller as a deposit and will be deducted from the total agreed price. However, if you book a property and do not want to buy it later, you will lose this deposit amount. Contact iHomes Consultants for more information.

Fifth stage: concluding a contract

After paying the deposit, you must take the necessary measures to prepare the documents and also to transfer the money from the country of origin (Iran) to Turkey. The control of all documents, including the document, as well as all administrative matters, from property evaluation and municipal works to naming the right to share water electricity can be done by your consultant or lawyer.

To choose a lawyer to buy property in Turkey, be sure to choose a lawyer who has a power of attorney. The easiest way to buy a home in Turkey is to give a lawyer the authority to do the business for you. This reduces the length of stay in the country during the purchase process and ensures that the purchase process goes smoothly and without any problems. We do this under the supervision of a Turkish lawyer and you can attend or not.

Step 6: Open a bank account – transfer money and pay

After signing the contract, you should open a bank account, for which you can get help from iHomes consultants. And transfer the cost of the property from Iran to your account. The most important and best way to transfer money is to use your trusted money changer.

Step 7: Final Review

After signing the contract, the purchase process must be completed within four weeks. The lawyer you appoint will do all the necessary checks during this period, including checking the document with the municipality to make sure the property is registered in your name.

Step 8: Registration of real estate document (TAPU)

The final step in buying a home in Turkey is registering your title deed. After completing all the documentation and fulfilling the obligations of the parties to the transaction, your house will be certified in your name and this document will be presented to you. To do this, a day is determined by the office, which is known as “Noter”. On this day, both the landlord and the buyer must go to the office and the administrative registration process begins.

If you are unable to attend, entrust this to a lawyer or company you trust by giving a power of attorney.

On this day, an official Persian and Turkish translator approved by the Turkish Ministry of Justice is required; To translate the provisions of the contract and the property document, including the special conditions for the transfer of property, to the buyer, and after the knowledge and approval of both parties to the contract, the official document will be signed and delivered to the buyer.
