The buying process is very smooth in Turkey. Once you have found your property and agreed on the details such as price, the Sales and Construction Agreement (Purchase Contract) can be drawn up both in Turkish and English.

In the contract, agreed sale price, payment schedule, the names of Buyers and Sellers, full property details, obligations of both parties, and the completion date must be set. It must be ensured that the property is free from restrictions. Also,  to make sure the legal side of the process is taken well care… Hiring independent bilingual Legal Adviser/Solicitor who is experienced in Turkish Property Law will be helpful.

Power of Attorney (POA) may be issued in a Notary Public found in every town. Issuing Power of Attorney (POA) will enable the Solicitor to follow and complete the purchase process on your behalf without the need for you to be present until a convenient time. A POA can be issued abroad as well; usually Solicitors abroad have the authority to notarize the documents. The notarized POA should then be apostilled at the Local commonwealth Office or should be certified by the Turkish Consulate in order to be recognized as valid.
