Buying property in Turkey is considered a good investment, with many opportunities to purchase apartments and villas either as a holiday home or for permenant residence.

Once you have made the difficult decision of which property to buy the following process of transferring the title deeds into your name is quite straight forward and, many say, a lot easier than other European countries.

When payment terms have been agreed and contracts signed a 10% deposit is normally required to secure the sale. The remaining balance of funds to be paid can be negotiated depending largely on the type of property being bought ie. resale, new build or off plan.

An application needs to be made to the local Land Registry Office in which the property is situated. After the necessary searches and checks are completed a permit will be issued and the title deed can be transferred into the buyers name.

It is advisable to use the professional services of a local solicitor to act on your behalf during this process.
