Buying a property in Turkey is a lot easier and more straight forward than in many other European countries. Changes in recent legislation now allow foreign nationals to purchase land and property in their own names in all of the coastal resorts and villages with the exception of historical protected or military areas.

In order to obtain the Freehold Title Deeds for the property an application needs to be submitted to the local Land Registry Office. In Turkey it is necessary for both the vendor and the purchaser to be present for the entry in to the property register, unless the purchaser has already completed the necessary paperwork giving Power of Attorney, which is known as ‘VEKALET' to an individual they can trust so that all documents can be signed on the purchasers behalf in their absence.

The clients may need an independent Lawyer or Solicitors to co-operate with in terms of having all necessary formalities to be completed. In this case they can also consult International Law offices available in Antalya for comfort of their mind.
