Real Estate Services


Buying property in Turkey is a pretty straight forward procedure: Once you find the property you want to purchase, we arrange an official sales agreement-in front of a notary-between the buyer and seller.

This agreement means that you can move into your property straight away. Following this, within 3-8 weeks you receive your 'tapu' proof of ownership. This 3-8 weeks period is the time required to complete military checks-that your property is not located within a particular distance of military sites or strategically important areas. Every non Turkish buyer has to go through this procedure but it really is not complicated nor difficult.

We provide official translations and we have a consultant lawyer that we have been working for a long time. You can find out more information about these and all other related issues on our legal section.
