How to Buy a Property in Turkey


Buying a property for holidays, longer periods over the winter or as a retirement home is an investment for the future

As a certified company, we are there for you 365 days a year.


Buying a property in Turkey has been made a lot simpler and Royal Home Alanya will help you through the whole process. The buyer receives a Tapu ( Land deed ) signed out by the official Tapu-Office, a member of the municipality. 


The land register is administrated by the Tapu-Office, here the name of the owner will be changed in the register when buying the property. For this, you need your ID, 4 Passport-Photographs, and the name of your father (Turkish habit). A certified translator must be present who will tell you exactly what is going on. In the case of inheritance, the Turkish authorities accept an official testament made in your home country. 

Otherwise the Turkish will be based. The Tapu is not to be received by “friends”, lawyers or notary. The only way to get it is the Tapu-Office!


Restrictions

Since July 3rd 2003 foreigners are permitted to buy properties in villages. Outside of touristic areas, special orders of the central administration must be obeyed. Within restricted military areas, foreigners are still not able to buy Turkish properties.


Registration into Tapu (Land Register)

The buyer authorises the Sales Agent to organise water connection, electricity and phone line for the property, and to do all necessary authority applications.


Application at the land register for the permit to buy

Therefore you absolutely need:


• 2 Photographs
• 2 Copies of your ID
• Your address in your home country and your Fathers name
• Your tax-number (which we will get for you)

The selling part needs


• 1 Photograph
• 2 Copies of his ID
• Address of company or owner
• Tax-Number


The certified translator will then explain to you, where the property is located and about its special characteristics. (Villa, Apt on the 4th floor etc..) Then you will be given the original Tapu in your hands. If you wish, it can be translated into English, we have a translator in the company.
You will find all unıque costs on the list below. Another important point is the protocol of delivery. In there you find all the work that is still to be done by us.
The monthly costs of your property can be paid by us on behalf of you, and if you wish, we can help you to open a bank account.
