To warmly welcome any guests is an inseparable part of the Turkish culture. You can be sure that you will feel just as good as your country (if not more comfortable) any time you visit Turkey.

To learn the language is completely up to you. It is not mandatory to learn the language since in places where we operate English is generally widely spoken.

The nearest airport to the location where we operate is the Antalya International Airport, which operates all year round. There are many flights from and to major European airport to Antalya all year round.

According to your country of arrival a Visa might be necessary. However, it is easily obtainable at the airport of arrival.

There are no restrictions on that matter. You can fully enjoy the pleasures of your property in Turkey as many times as you wish.

All you need to purchase a property in Turkey is a passport and 6 passport size photos.

There are no legal restrictions for a foreigner to purchase a property except a few ones. The main one you should be aware of is that if the property is within the range of 400 m of a military zone, you won't have the right to officially own the property (i.e. no title deed) as all purchases from foreigners are sent to the Military for second inspection.
Our company's offers are all fully inspected and a pre-due diligence has been done before being put on the market. However, should you wish to use a lawyer, we can advise you with a list of independent lawyers that you will hire at your cost.

Now that you have chosen your ideal property and signed the purchase contract, there are just a few more steps to take in order to get your title deed (called TAPU in Turkish). Our Company representative will first take you to the Tax Office to get a Tax Number. If you do not have Passport Size Pictures with you, a quick tour to the Photo Shop will also be needed. The next step is to go to the Notary and get a Power of Attorney where you'll give us a one-time authority to follow the purchase and title deed transfer procedure on your behalf. And thats it, you can now either enjoy the rest of your stay or go with our Representative to furniture shops and start decorating your new property!

There are many international banks in locations where we operate (HSBC,Fortis,Dexia..) but also Turkish banks with offices in Europe (Is Bank,Garanti, Akbank).

All our offers are fully inspected by our property specialists, and only put on the market once a clear due diligence has been done on the property.
Although the laws in Turkey are in favor of the purchaser and a lawyer is not obligatory while doing a purchase, in case you prefer hiring a lawyer, we can advise you with a list of independent attorneys, that you will have to hire at your own cost.

It takes +/- 3-4 months for you to have your title deed starting from the day you purchase a property in Turkey. The main reason for that is due to the fact that official papers from the purchase are sent to the Military, for a last inspection.

Unless not mentioned otherwise, in case something happens to the title deed holder, the property is automatically inherited by the spouse or the children. To make amendments on the title deed would involve legal assistance.
