Buying Property in Türkiye: Complete Guide

Purchase decision and document sequence

Start by identifying whether the property will be occupied, rented or resold, then put the total cash requirement next to the advertised price. Match the address and actual apartment to the province, district, block, parcel and independent-unit identifiers on the title documents. Ask who has legal authority to sell and obtain independent documentary confirmation before committing a deposit. Keep a written timeline for title review, building-document checks, contract conditions, payment and physical handover; record unresolved questions rather than treating an attractive listing as evidence.

Practical verification checklist

Buyer workflow: Define intended use and a total budget that includes transaction expenses. Obtain the parcel and independent-unit identifiers, compare the seller's identity with the title record, and have an independent professional review title restrictions, occupancy permission and the actual unit before committing funds. Keep bank transfer receipts, the signed agreement and the final title transfer record together; confirm keys, meters and outstanding building dues at handover.
