When purchasing real estate in Turkey, there are several documents that you will typically need to provide or obtain as part of the process. These documents may vary depending on the specific location, type of property, and the transaction details, but here is a general list of documents that are commonly required:
1. Passport: You will need a valid passport or other form of identification as a foreign buyer in Turkey.
2. Tax Identification Number (TIN): You will need to obtain a TIN from the local tax office in Turkey, which is required for property transactions.
3. Title Deed (Tapu): The Tapu is the official document that proves ownership of the property. You will need to obtain the Tapu from the local Tapu office, which is a crucial document for the property purchase process.
4. Property Valuation Report: A property valuation report is typically required by the bank if you are financing the purchase through a mortgage. This report provides an assessment of the property’s value.
5. Sales Agreement (Satis Sozlesmesi): This is the legal contract between the buyer and seller, outlining the terms and conditions of the property purchase, including the purchase price, payment terms, and other relevant details.
6. Military Clearance Certificate: This document confirms that the property is not located in a restricted military zone. It is obtained from the local military authorities and is required for property purchases in certain areas of Turkey.
7. Iskan Certificate: This is a document that confirms the property has been constructed in accordance with the local building regulations and is suitable for habitation. It is required for newly constructed properties.
8. Utility Bills: You may be required to provide recent utility bills, such as water and electricity bills, to confirm the property’s usage and payment status.
9. Power of Attorney (if applicable): If you are unable to be present for the property purchase process, you may need to provide a Power of Attorney to a trusted representative who can act on your behalf.
10. Bank Account: You will need to open a Turkish bank account to facilitate the property purchase process, including making payments and transferring funds.
11. Translator (if applicable): If you do not speak Turkish, you may need to engage a certified translator to assist with translating documents during the property purchase process.
