Buying Property Online in Turkey: Secrets of a Safe Deal

Here is a detailed guide to choosing and buying real estate in Turkey to obtain citizenship. Today we offer you to learn how to safely pay for your purchase, even without visiting Turkey in person. This approach will help you not to miss out on good deals and fix the price of real estate before a sharp jump in prices.

Selecting a property and drawing up a contract

First, you need to choose an object and conclude a tripartite agreement between the seller, the buyer and the agency - the guarantor of fulfilling all obligations under the transaction. This agreement is prepared in two languages - in Turkish and in the native language of the buyer. This is a detailed document covering all aspects and features of the transaction. For example, when buying secondary real estate, the agreement contains a list of each piece of furniture in the house or apartment. In the case of an object under construction, materials, types of finishing, delivery dates and penalties for late completion of construction are specified.

A scanned contract with the signatures and seals of the seller and the agency is sent to the buyer, who signs the contract on each page. The buyer then also sends a scanned copy of the contract back to the agency.

The contract includes information on the payment schedule. When reserving housing on the secondary market, the buyer transfers the deposit to the seller's account specified in the contract, thereby ensuring the security of the transaction. After full payment for the property, the buyer receives documents confirming his ownership. In the case of purchasing an apartment at the construction stage, an installment plan for the construction period is provided, and the registration of the ownership is also carried out after full payment.

Obtaining ownership of real estate

There are two ways to obtain ownership. In the first case, the buyer personally visits Turkey for the duration of the paperwork, which takes 5-10 business days. In the second case, if a long-term stay is not possible, you can use the familiarization tour service from . In this case, in a short period of 3-5 days, you can personally evaluate the property and leave a power of attorney to Uptrendhomes to process all the necessary documents.

If it is impossible to visit Turkey in person due to being busy, Uptrendhomes offers the option of drawing up a power of attorney through the Turkish consulate or embassy in the buyer's country. The agency provides all the necessary data for drawing up a power of attorney (the agency also has all the contact numbers of the consulate's translators who will help with drawing up the document). The real estate buyer must make an appointment at the consulate, come at the specified time, agree on the text of the power of attorney together with the translator, after which the document will be transferred to the Turkish notary system via QR code. Uptrendhomes will receive the original power of attorney from any notary in Turkey and begin the process of drawing up all the necessary documents for the purchase.

The buyer does not need to be personally present in Turkey, as well as worry about going through authorities and overcoming bureaucratic obstacles. The specialists of the Uptrendhomes agency will take on all the necessary steps: ordering an expert assessment of the apartment, submitting documents to the cadastral office, paying taxes, obtaining ownership rights for the buyer, as well as registering water and electricity meters in the name of the buyer.
