Buying Procedure

The buying procedure we try and keep as simple as possible so that everything runs as smooth as can be. M&C Property will be responsible for all aspects of the buying procedure and all the legal documentation required. Once you decide on the correct property to meet your requirements we will:

- Make a contract
- Arrange a tax number
- Open a bank account
- Make a power of attourney
- Apply for the Tapu name change
- Send the documents to Izmir for government checks

The Tapu is the legal documentation for Turkey (Deeds) which must be applied for at the government offices in Izmir, were they will carry out the relevant background checks on the construction, company selling and the client buying. When the government is satisfied that everything is in place they will send the Tapu with the new owners name to the local Tapu office were we can visit and sign for the document in the new owners name. From then onwards the new owner we be the outright owner of the property and land stated.

This document is the TAPU and will be presented to you at the Land registry office on completion of sale.
 

 
 
Information about TAPU
The TAPU is an official confirmation that you are the owner of the Property you purchased. For foreigners who want to buy a Property - a villa or an apartment or a land in Turkey, the waiting period for obtaining this document is about 2-3 months.
First it goes to a regional Tapu office then to a Military Head office in Izmir to check that the Property is not in a Military Zone. This is just a formality. When everything is approved then it takes just one day to complete. You then go to the Tapu office with a translator to sign the appropriate documents.

All the necessary formalities regarding obtaining the TAPU on your Property will be completed within few hours. The TAPU on the Property will be changed into your name and from that day forth the Property and Land stated is soley owned by you.
