Steps to Buying Property in Turkey

Here are the steps for purchasing property in Turkey:

  1. Choose the Best City for Property Investment Start by selecting the right city. This decision depends on your budget and preferences. You should pick a city suitable for both living and business opportunities, considering your tastes and financial capacity.
  2. Select and Reserve a Property in Turkey After selecting a city, find a suitable property in a desirable neighborhood. Once you’ve chosen a property, you need to pay a reservation fee. Keep in mind that this fee is non-refundable.
  3. Obtain an Expertise Report (Valuation Report) To prevent fraud by sellers or real estate agencies, the Turkish government mandates a property valuation report for foreign buyers. Factors such as location, property features, and building age are considered in the report. Obtaining this report may take around two days.
  4. Transfer Funds from Iran to Turkey for Property Purchase Next, you’ll need to transfer funds to Turkey for the purchase. The payment must come from the buyer’s account or their legal representative to the seller’s account. Although opening bank accounts abroad has become challenging for Iranians, our team can help you facilitate this process effortlessly.
  5. Finalize Ownership and Title Deed Registration After completing the above steps, you need to finalize the title deed transfer at a notary office. According to Turkish law, an official translator approved by the Ministry of Justice must be present on the transaction day. If you’re fluent in Turkish, you can handle all legal processes alongside the translator to avoid future issues.
  6. Register Utility Services (Water, Electricity, Gas) Once the property deed is in your name, you must visit utility offices to register services such as gas, water, and electricity under your name. This is mandatory in Turkey, and failure to do so will prevent you from accessing these essential services.
