The Purchase Process in Turkey Once the sale agreement has been drawn up as a legal binding contract and the buyer and seller have agreed and both signed, the title deed will be applied for . The process takes approx 6 - 8 weeks, this is due to the army search (this search is designed to prevent people with serious criminal convictions and terrorists from purchasing property). Should you be refused permission from the army you have the right to transfer the sale over to a nominated third party or have the contract cancelled. Once the permission is received back from the army deeds transfer will go ahead. You can either be here to sign yourself or nominate by power of attorney someone to represent you. (the acting solicitor will do this for you). Should you opt for power of attorney the solicitor will ensure that all taxes are paid and the title deed is registered in your name. Please note that the buyer is responsible for paying the water and electric connection and 1/2 the taxes due. Full purchasing costs are explained by us in full detail before any contracts are drawn up so you are fully aware of every penny you are spending. This is an excellent example of investment property in Turkey.

Once you have decided on a property and agreed on price, you will then ask for the TAPU. This is the title deeds and will secure ownership. This also states that the building is earthquake proof, that the owners owe no debt on the property, that there are no outstanding utility bills, that the agent you have bought property with is licensed, that the lawyer you have appointed is authorized. 2. In order to speed this process up you must therefore, have elected a licensed real estate agent, have elected a legal translator, a lawyer and that you have registered with the tax office and have opened a bank account. (To open an account you just need is your tax number and a copy of your passport) 3. The TAPU is the transfer of ownership. However, you will also need a comprehensive contract drawn up between seller and buyer to cover any eventualities. The contract will cover Detailed description of property including state of repair and address. The selling price. Sellers bank details. Agents bank details (if appropriate) Payment terms should be clearly set out If power of attorney is appointed, this will be clearly stated. All contact details of those involved in sale. Operational license numbers of agent and lawyer. Always elect a translator to make sure your contract is in clear English. 4. The contract should be notarized. In front of a notary public, you will have ensured that all signatures are genuine, that the contract is official, and that the terms within the contract are binding. 5. Next stage is to apply for the transfer of ownership. This is done at the TAPU office and you will need • The title deed • Passport • 2 passport photos • If you are using an agent, they will also provide documentation. 6. One military clearance is completed, normally 3 weeks, you will receive the official ownership. Upon completion there is a tax due to the Turkish Government. This is variable and dependent on several factors. A clear indication of how much this tax is becomes available during negotiations.

Didim D-Marine Completed Now Construction of the Marina in Altinkum started in 2006 and is the biggest development in the resort for years. Didim Marina, which is being built by the Dogus Group, will have a total capacity of 850 yachts, 550 in the sea and 300 on land. The site covers 140 000 sq m's of land and 173 000 sq m's of sea. It is widely believed that investing in Altinkum (Didim) will be quite profitable. The Marina will attract big investors to Didim and will turn it into the tourism capital of Aegean. This is the reason more and more British people are buying in this resort. It has always been seen as the poorer relative to the like of Marmaris and Bodrum. But now with its own impressive Marina, plus more besides to offer, Altinkum is an investors dream. Take advantage of the prices as they are at the moment, especially in developments close to the site. And with the marina comes a shopping centre and ferry links to the Greek islands. A proposed golf course will undoubtedly follow shortly. This once quiet, fishing village is growing into a cosmopolitan resort to rival any other in Turkey. Transport Minister Yildirim, who attended the sight recently, said the marina, located between Third Beach and the Parlementerler Sitesi, would become the “undoubted shining star” of the Aegean and the Mediterranean seas. Never before has it been so easy to buy in Turkey. Turkey is all about fusion. It’s where Europe looks east towards Asia, and where the two places meet. This fabulous land has now revealed its exotic heart and welcomed the many buyers who want to see the country, meet the people, and feel the heat - to find out what all the fuss is about.
