Buying real estate in Turkey online

A step-by-step guide for international buyers

Modern technology makes it possible to purchase real estate in Turkey entirely remotely, without having to be present in person. Buying online is particularly relevant for investors and buyers who value their time and want to secure a good price without delaying their decision.

Purchasing real estate remotely in Turkey is legal, transparent, and secure, provided you work with a licensed agency and experienced lawyers. Below is a step-by-step guide to the online transaction process.

Step 1. Consultation and property selection

The process begins with an individual consultation.
At this stage we:

• clarify the purpose of the purchase (investment, residence, rental);
• determine the budget and the desired characteristics of the property;
• select options in suitable areas;
• send you detailed presentations, floor plans, videos, and calculations.

You receive a complete overview of the market and current offers selected for your needs.

Step 2. Online property viewing

After the preliminary selection, an online viewing is conducted via video call.
The agent shows you the property as though you were there in person:

• presents the apartment, the complex, and the surrounding infrastructure;
• draws attention to the layout, the view, the floor, and the condition;
• answers all your questions in real time;
• brings in the developer or the owner where necessary.

You can compare several properties and make an informed decision from anywhere in the world.

Step 3. Reservation and agreement of terms

Once you have chosen a property:

• the final price is agreed;
• the payment terms and deadlines are discussed;
• the arrangements are settled with the seller or developer.

To reserve the property, a deposit is paid, which secures the price and takes the property off the market.
Lawyers prepare a purchase and sale agreement setting out clearly defined terms and the obligations of both parties.

Step 4. Issuing a power of attorney

To complete the transaction without being present in person, the buyer issues a power of attorney:

• to our lawyer;
• or to a trusted person in Turkey.

A power of attorney can be issued:

• at a Turkish consulate;
• or before a notary in your own country, with an apostille.

This document allows your representative to act on your behalf at every stage of the transaction.

Step 5. Preparing the documents

We provide full support with the paperwork:

• obtaining a Turkish tax number;
• opening a bank account;
• preparing a real estate valuation report (where required);
• preparing the documents for the Land Registry Office.

Most of these procedures can be completed online or by proxy, without your involvement.

Step 6. Payment and transfer of the title deed (TAPU)

Payment for the property is made officially and transparently.
The full amount is transferred on the day the TAPU is registered, in accordance with Turkish law.

Once the procedure is complete:

• the title deed is registered in your name;
• you become the legal owner of the property;
• the details are entered in the state register.

Step 7. Receiving the keys and ongoing support

After the TAPU has been registered:

• you receive the keys to the property;
• the utility connections are set up;
• if required, a residence permit is arranged or a citizenship application is submitted;
• property management and rental services are available.

We support our clients not only during the purchase, but also after the transaction is complete.
