LEGAL MATTERS

As a UK or EU passport holder you do not need to be a resident of Turkey to buy land or property in Turkey.

BUYING LAND OR A BUILT PROPERTY
(It is not necessary to employ a lawyer, however we would advise that you do.)

The Steps after you have paid the deposit to secure the property.

1. You must provide us with a copy of your passport and we will apply to the Army Command for permission for you to buy property in this region. We will apply on your behalf. This will take approximately 6 weeks.

2. You can at this stage either
a) come to Bodrum and with our help obtain your Tapu (deeds) or

b) furnish us with a power of attorney so we may take the Tapu on your behalf.

3. On completion and the payment of all taxes and fees the balance is paid.

BUYING OFF-PLAN
Our legal department will draw up a contract for the purchase of your off-plan property, which we will ask you to sign. This document will clearly spell out your legal position and the terms and conditions of the purchase.

We advise that you instruct your own lawyer to verify it, to make sure it is in your best interest. There are a number of good lawyers available with experience in this work; we can introduce you to them.
