Providing that one can
respect and is familiar with the rules and regulations, purchase of property
in Turkey is relatively simple, safe and without any risk. Each transfer of
ownership is registered at the Land Registry Office. After the transfer of
ownership the new owner receives a proof of ownership, the so-called
“Tapu” (proof of registration at the Land Registry Office). The
Land Registry Office is managed by the municipality. For the exchange of
deeds the “old” and the “new” owner should be present at the Land Registry
Office in person with their identity papers, a set of recent passport photos
and the full name of their father. Moreover the presence of a sworn
interpreter is required when either the buyer or seller is of foreign
nationality.
In the event of there being
an existing legacy, a legal will drawn up in the country of origin is
officially recognized. If there is no legal will, then the Turkish law of
succession is applied.
The
tapu is only issued at the Land Registry Office in the presence of a sworn
interpreter. Never accept a transfer of ownership through a lawyer, a notary
or through so-called friends or acquaintances!
Legislation with regard to
the purchase of real estate by Non-Residents
Private Non-Residents are permitted to purchase real estate in Turkey on the
condition that they comply with a few specific regulations.
According
to § 35 of the Turkish Land Register, Private Non-Residents are authorized
to buy or inherit property in
Turkey provided that there is no
change of by-laws on a reciprocal basis.
This particular legal regulation consents to the acquisition of
landownership by Private Non-Residents
Restrictions that need to be complied with:
1)
New! On the 3rd of July 2003 a statutory change was made concerning Private
Non-Residents. In accordance with
the new Land Register Law §4916
Section 19 Chapter 35 Private Non-Residents are authorized to buy and
subsequently pass down property from now on within the municipal boundaries
as well.
2) The instructions issued by the Central
Administration should be complied with and in particular with reference to the areas that are
located outside of tourist zones in addition to areas that are located outside of municipal

Nr. 2565 and the Security-Zone-Law Private Non-Residents are not
permitted
to buy property in the forbidden military zones of the 1st and 2nd degree

so in military security zones. It is for
this reason that it is crucial for Private Non-Residents to check with the
military authorities in question whether the property that they are planning
to purchase is located outside of a military forbidden
zone or a military security zone
