Key Stages of The Property Buying Process in Turkey
1. Consultation and definition of wishes
The initial stage is a conversation with an agent, where your requirements for the property are discussed: budget, type of housing, desired area, sea view and infrastructure. The agent helps to clarify goals and choose the best options.
2. Selection and viewing of properties
The agent organizes inspections of the proposed properties. You can visit several options to choose the best one. This helps to see the property and assess its condition, area and proximity to the necessary amenities.
3. Registration of an agreement of intent
When a suitable property is selected, a preliminary agreement of intent to purchase the property is signed. In this case, an advance payment is usually made to secure the terms of the transaction.
4. Legal verification of the property
The agency organizes a check of the property for legal purity: absence of debts, arrests and other restrictions. It is also checked whether all documents for the property are correctly executed so that the purchase is safe.
5. Obtaining a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and opening a bank account
You will need a Turkish Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) to pay for the property and complete all the paperwork. The agent will help you obtain it and open a bank account to make payments for the transaction.
6. Concluding the purchase and sale agreement and making the payment
The main purchase and sale agreement is signed. At this stage, you must make the full payment for the property, which can be made via bank transfer.
7. Submitting an application to the cadastral authority (Tapu)
The agency submits the documents to the cadastral authority (Tapu), where your ownership rights are registered. The procedure takes from several days to a week, and upon completion, you receive a document confirming your ownership.
8. Obtaining a residence permit
After purchasing the property, you have the right to apply for a residence permit. The agency can help you collect the documents and submit the application for you and your family.
9. Connecting utilities
The agency helps you connect utilities - electricity, water, internet and others. This allows you to move into a ready-to-live-in home immediately after the transaction.
