Your Guide to Buying Property in Turkey

Every client is different.

Before we show you any property, we first want to understand what you are looking for.

You may be searching for:

• A holiday home
• A permanent residence
• A retirement home
• An investment property
• A family home
• A property for rental income

We also talk about your budget, preferred area, lifestyle and future plans.

This helps us focus on properties that are truly suitable for you.

We do not start with the property. We start with you.

A good property is important, but the location can be just as important.

Different areas offer different lifestyles.

You may want to be close to:

• The beach
• Restaurants and cafés
• Shops
• Schools
• Hospitals
• Public transport
• Golf courses
• The airport
• Nature
• Quiet residential areas

Nordic Trust Homes helps you compare different locations and understand which area may suit you best.

The property price is only one part of the purchase.

Depending on the transaction, there may also be costs for:

• Title deed procedures
• Taxes and official charges
• Property valuation
• Notary services
• Translation
• Insurance
• Utility connections
• Furniture and appliances

We explain the expected costs clearly before you move forward.

Our aim is to avoid unnecessary surprises later.

Once we know your requirements, we prepare a selection especially for you.

Our property portfolio may include:

• Apartments
• Villas
• New developments
• Completed homes
• Resale properties
• Holiday homes
• Investment opportunities
• Sea-view properties
• Properties with payment plans

We believe in showing you the right options, not simply as many properties as possible.

Seeing the properties and the surrounding areas in person can make your decision much easier.

That is why Nordic Trust Homes offers a free viewing trip for clients visiting Turkey to search for property.

During your arranged viewing trip, we provide:

Free accommodation in a fully furnished apartment

Free transfer from Antalya Airport or Alanya-Gazipaşa Airport

• Free return transfer to the airport
• A personalised property viewing programme
• Local area introductions
• Guidance throughout your visit

No obligation to buy

There is absolutely no purchase obligation.

You are free to look at the properties, compare different options and make your decision without pressure.

Your accommodation and airport transfers are free of charge whether you buy a property or not.

If you buy a property

If we help you find your new home and you decide to complete the purchase, Nordic Trust Homes will also cover your flight ticket cost.

If you decide not to buy, you only pay for your own flight ticket.

Your accommodation and arranged airport transfers remain free.

Come and see. Take your time. Decide when it feels right.

A viewing is about much more than seeing a beautiful kitchen or living room.

We also help you consider:

• Construction quality
• Building condition
• Property orientation
• Sunlight
• Views
• Noise levels
• Social facilities
• Monthly maintenance fees
• Nearby shops and services
• Transport
• Future development in the area
• The general neighbourhood

We want you to understand the whole property, not only what you see inside the front door.

Both can be good choices.

It depends on your plans.

New property

A new development may offer:

• Modern design
• New facilities
• New building standards
• Different unit choices
• Developer payment plans

If the property is still under construction, it is important to understand the developer, delivery date, payment schedule and what is included in the purchase.

Resale property

With a resale home, you can usually see exactly what you are buying.

You can inspect the apartment or villa, building and surrounding area before you decide.

We help you understand which option may be better for you.

Before moving forward with a purchase, important information about the property should be reviewed.

Depending on the property, this may include:

• Ownership information
• Title deed details
• Property status
• Developer information
• Project documents
• Relevant permits
• Contract conditions
• Payment terms

If specialist legal advice is needed, we can help arrange professional support.

At Nordic Trust Homes, we believe that security comes before speed.

Once you have chosen the right property, the main purchase conditions are agreed.

These can include:

• Final purchase price
• Reservation amount
• Deposit
• Payment plan
• Delivery date
• Furniture or appliances included
• Other special conditions

Important agreements should be clearly documented.

You should always know exactly what has been agreed before making a payment.

The sales agreement explains the conditions between the buyer and seller.

It may include:

• Buyer and seller details
• Property information
• Purchase price
• Payment schedule
• Deposit
• Delivery conditions
• Items included in the sale
• Responsibilities of both parties

You should understand the agreement before signing it.

If needed, translation or independent legal assistance can be arranged.

A Turkish tax identification number may be needed for different procedures connected with buying and owning property.

Nordic Trust Homes can help guide you through the process.

A tax number is also commonly connected to practical steps such as banking and official property transactions.

A Turkish bank account can be useful for managing:

• Property payments
• Electricity and water bills
• Site fees
• Local payments
• Future property expenses

Nordic Trust Homes can guide you through the process and help arrange contact with suitable banks.

Each bank has its own requirements, and account opening is always subject to the bank's approval.

Property payments should always be clear and documented.

Before transferring money, you should know:

• Who will receive the payment
• How much you are paying
• What the payment is for
• When it must be paid
• Which currency is being used
• What documentation you will receive

We help you understand the payment schedule and the agreed conditions.

An official valuation may be needed for certain property transactions.

Where applicable, Nordic Trust Homes can help coordinate the process and explain the next steps.

The Turkish title deed is commonly known as the TAPU.

It is the official document connected to ownership of the property.

The transfer is completed through the authorised Land Registry.

When the required procedures are complete and ownership is officially transferred, you become the registered owner.

The title deed transfer is one of the main official stages in completing the purchase.

Some clients choose to buy a property before construction is completed.

This can offer attractive opportunities, but it is important to understand the details.

You should know:

• Who the developer is
• Construction progress
• Expected completion date
• Payment schedule
• Property specifications
• What is included
• Delivery conditions

As part of Akdeniz Kasapoğlu, Nordic Trust Homes benefits from more than 45 years of construction experience.

For properties under construction, we can also help you follow the progress until delivery.

Once the purchase process is completed, it is time to receive your keys.

For a completed home, handover may take place shortly after the official procedures are finished.

For a property under construction, the handover takes place according to the agreed delivery schedule.

But receiving your keys does not mean our service ends.

Where applicable, Nordic Trust Homes can assist with:
