Buying Procedures

Before diving into the buying process, it’s crucial to conduct thorough research. Türkiye offers a diverse range of properties, from coastal villas in Bodrum to luxury apartments in Istanbul. Take the time to explore different regions, their climates, cultures, and landscapes. Consider your needs, budget, and expected lifestyle.

At Suite Türkiye members, we have been operating in the Turkish property market for nearly ten years. Our extensive knowledge and experience allow us to provide valuable insights into various regions of Türkiye. We’ll guide you through the research process, offering frank and diligent information on different locations and their unique characteristics. Additionally, we’ll connect you with trusted legal and technical experts to ensure a well-informed decision.

Choosing the right real estate agent is crucial for a successful property purchase. With numerous agents and websites in the market, it’s essential to select a reputable and trustworthy agency. Look for testimonials, check their track record, and compare different agents. A solid and credible agent will have extensive experience, a deep understanding of your requirements, and the ability to provide personalized guidance.

At Suite Türkiye, we pride ourselves on our longevity in the market and our commitment to understanding our clients’ needs. We believe that buying a property is not just about the transaction but also about finding the perfect lifestyle. Our team of knowledgeable agents will listen to your requirements, consult with you extensively, and guide you towards the right area and investment. We prioritize building a strong rapport with our clients, ensuring a collaborative and tailored approach to finding your dream home in Türkiye.

Establishing a good rapport with your real estate agent is crucial for a successful property search. While some may hesitate to talk to agents due to fear of being “sold to,” open and honest communication is key. Take the time to get to know your agent and let them understand your needs and preferences. This rapport will ensure personalized and effective guidance throughout the buying process.

At Suite Türkiye, we prioritize building strong relationships with our clients. We listen to your needs, preferences, and aspirations. Our goal is to find unique and special homes that meet your requirements. By understanding your expectations, we can search diligently and present you with the most suitable options in Türkiye.

To make an informed decision about buying property in Türkiye, it’s essential to visit the country. Explore the surroundings, experience the local culture, and immerse yourself in the lifestyle. At Suite Türkiye, we believe in selling not just properties but also dreams and lifestyles. We strongly discourage purchasing a property without visiting it first. Beware of agents who try to sell properties over the phone or without allowing you to see the property in person.

To enhance your property search, we recommend going on a professionally organized property inspection trip. These trips, organized by reputable companies like Suite Türkiye, provide an opportunity to see various properties, sort paperwork, and familiarize yourself with the local scenery and lifestyle. Our inspection trips typically last for at least two days, allowing ample time to explore different homes and locations. Avoid branded developer inspection trips, as they limit your options to properties sold exclusively by that developer.

To ensure you find the perfect property, we will help you explore every available option. Our extensive network and contacts enable us to show you a wide range of properties in various locations and price ranges. We understand that buying a home is a significant decision, and we want to ensure that you make the right choice. By presenting you with a diverse selection of properties, we strive to meet your expectations and provide value for your investment.

Once you’ve found your ideal property, we will negotiate on your behalf to secure the best possible price and terms. With our extensive experience and industry connections, we can often secure significant discounts from developers and private sellers. Our goal is to ensure that you receive the best deal and value for your investment. During the negotiation process, it’s essential to consider incidental costs associated with purchasing property in Türkiye, such as taxes and fees.

Once the price and terms are agreed upon, it’s time to reserve the property. We will guide you through this process, which typically involves paying a reservation deposit to the seller. This deposit is non-refundable and will be deducted from the final purchase price. However, if you decide not to proceed with the purchase after reserving the property, the deposit will be forfeited.

To simplify the purchase process, we recommend appointing a solicitor by granting power of attorney. This allows the solicitor to handle all legal matters on your behalf, saving you time and the need to stay in the country during the purchase process. At Suite Türkiye, we work with qualified and highly recommended solicitors who specialize in property transactions. We will introduce you to a lawyer during your inspection trip, or you are welcome to choose your own solicitor.

After signing the contracts, the purchase process typically takes around four weeks to complete. Your appointed solicitor will conduct all necessary checks on the property, ensuring that it is freehold registered in your name. These checks may include verifying the title and conducting a municipality check. It’s important to note that military clearance is no longer required for property purchases since March 2019.

The final step in completing your real estate purchase in Turkey is the registration of the Turkish TAPU, or title deed. Once all paperwork is in order, and both parties have fulfilled their contractual obligations, your new home will be registered in your name. You will receive the title deed, confirming your ownership of the property. At this stage, you can kick back, relax, and enjoy your new home in Türkiye.
