Providing that one can respect and is familiar with the rules and regulations, purchase of property in Turkey is relatively simple, safe and without any risk. Each transfer of ownership is registered at the Land Registry Office. After the transfer of ownership the new owner receives a proof of ownership, the so-called “tapu” (proof of registration at the Land Registry Office). The Land Registry Office is managed by the municipality. For the exchange of deeds the “old” and the “new” owner should be present at the Land Registry Office in person with their identity papers, a set of recent passport photos and the full name of their father. Moreover the presence of a sworn interpreter is required when either the buyer or seller is of foreign nationality.

In the event of there being an existing legacy, a legal will drawn up in the country of origin is officially recognized. If there is no legal will, then the Turkish law of succession is applied.

With the exception of certain regions (for instance military areas) the Turkish land registry law (section 2644) permits the purchase of property anywhere in Turkey. The exchange of deeds is executed exclusively at the Land Registry Office. The proof of registration (tapu) is publicly recognised, in other words, property taxes are only levied on the amounts stated in the tapu.

THE TAPU IS ONLY ISSUED AT THE LAND REGISTRY OFFICE IN THE PRESENCE OF A SWORN INTERPRETER. NEVER ACCEPT A TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP THROUGH A LAWYER, A NOTARY OR THROUGH SO-CALLED FRIENDS OR ACQUAINTANCES!

All our prices are all in!

All additional costs relating to the purchase of property, like conveyance tax, costs for the sworn interpreter, the preparation of documents and tapu, special taxes like school tax, and tax for public institutions have been included in our property selling price.

Another important part of our purchase contracts is the so-called conveyance protocol. All repairs or other activities relating to your new property, to be executed by KILINC Real Estate, are defined in this protocol.

The payment of the variable costs with respect to your home – such as electricity, water and telephone – can be taken care of through us or, if you wish, we can open a bank account for you for the automatic payments of these costs. By doing so you ensure that everything operates properly. Our KILINC Team would be most willing to assist you in opening a bank account and arranging other matters at various authorities.
