Your 11-Step Guide to Buying Property in Turkey with Estates Istanbul

Turkey’s property market is vast and ever-changing. Arm yourself with knowledge, understanding the difference between regions, and the offerings of each. At Estates Istanbul, we've seen the ebb and flow of this market for nearly two decades. Trust us to provide honest insights into Turkey's diverse regions, and connect you with the best legal and technical sources.

Check testimonials, compare agencies, and ensure you’re partnering with someone who genuinely understands your dreams. If an agent feels insincere or too rehearsed, trust your instincts. We believe in a holistic approach, which means understanding not just the property you want, but the life you envision in Turkey.

Hesitant to talk to agents? We get it. But open dialogue helps us grasp your needs. Let's break the ice, build rapport, and work collaboratively. Your dream is our mission.

Nothing beats the firsthand experience. Come, soak in Turkey's vibrant culture, savor the cuisine, and envision your life here. Remember, it’s not just about property; it’s about finding your next home.

Join us for a personalized property viewing journey. We recommend dedicating at least four days to explore, understand paperwork, and familiarize yourself with the locale. Avoid generic developer-led trips – you deserve a wider, unbiased view.

Variety is the spice of life! We'll show you a diverse range of properties across regions, catering to different budgets. We aim to find the perfect match for you.

Whether it’s a cozy apartment or a sprawling villa, we're on your side, ensuring you get the best deal. With our vast network and market knowledge, you’re in safe hands.

Once your heart is set, we'll help you reserve the property. Typically, a reservation in Turkey is about £1,000 (approx. Euro 1,100), which will be adjusted in the purchase price.

Ease your journey by entrusting a Turkish solicitor with a power of attorney. They’ll handle all the legalities, ensuring a seamless transaction. We can introduce you to trusted legal professionals, or you’re welcome to choose your own.

Once contracts are inked, expect about four weeks to completion. Your solicitor will ensure the property is freehold and registered in your name. And as of March 2019, no military clearances are required!

The TAPU, or title deed, is the final piece in the puzzle. With all due diligence done, you can now proudly say you own a piece of Turkey.

Our doors (and inboxes) are always open for your queries. At Estates Istanbul, we’re not just about properties; we’re about making dreams come true.

So, settle in, relax, and cherish your new Turkish abode!
