A Title-Deed Guide for Overseas Buyers
The process in eight steps, from tax number to deed transfer.
Step by step
- Obtain a Turkish tax number.
- Open an account with a Turkish bank.
- Commission a licensed valuation report.
- Sign the sales agreement.
- File the application at the land registry.
- Have the foreign-currency purchase certificate issued.
- Pay the deed fee.
- Complete the transfer.
The common mistake
An application cannot be filed without a valuation report, and the report is valid for only three months. The currency certificate is mandatory if citizenship is on the table — and it cannot be issued after the transfer.
