Why does the follow-up matter ?

Transferring ownership in Türkiye is an official procedure with its own documents, appointments and fees. Anything missing from the file means a delay. We arrange everything with you in advance, so the signing step is clear and calm.

  • You are buying property in Türkiye for the first time
  • You are buying from outside Türkiye and need someone to follow up for you
  • Your file is linked to citizenship and needs additional documents
  • You want to know the fees and steps before the appointment

How we work, step by step

What we do at each stage, and what we need from you when it’s needed.

  1. 1

    Checking the property’s status

    Together with specialists, we review the property’s land registry record and check that it is free of mortgages, liens or annotations that would block the transfer.

  2. 2

    Tax number

    You obtain a Turkish tax number, which is required for official transactions and for the bank account.

    From you: Passport
  3. 3

    Valuation report for citizenship files

    Under TKGM circular 2024/4, a valuation report is no longer required for an ordinary purchase by a foreigner. It is still required in citizenship-related transactions, where a licensed valuation company prepares it.

  4. 4

    The bank transfer

    The property price is transferred through a bank in Türkiye with a currency purchase certificate (DAB). Every foreign individual buyer needs one before the sale, and the bank sends it to the land registry electronically.

  5. 5

    Preparing the file and booking the appointment

    We prepare the documents, book the appointment at the land registry office, and arrange a sworn translator if you don’t speak Turkish.

    From you: Personal photos and your attendance, or an official power of attorney
  6. 6

    Paying the fees

    The title deed fee and service charges are paid before signing, and we explain them to you in figures in advance.

  7. 7

    Signing and receiving the title deed

    Signing takes place at the land registry office, and the title deed is issued in your name.

  8. 8

    After the transfer

    We guide you through transferring the utility accounts, and the owner’s annual obligations such as property tax and earthquake insurance.
