BEFORE BUYING:
Browse through our
website and look at a few properties that are within your
budget and to your liking. Decide whether a good location
or a good view is more important. Also, decide if you want
an apartment, a semi-detached or a detached villa. All of
our properties come with a pool, so decide if you want a private
pool or if you'd be happy with a communal pool.
Then, fill in our Enquiry Form and request
for one of our representatives to contact you for more information.
Meanwhile, plan a 3-4 day visit to be our guest so you can
view the properties in person, and get a glimpse of what Bodrum
has to offer if you already haven't been.
When you decide on the property you want
to purchase, you're required to pay a reservation deposit
of £2,000/€3,000, in order to take the property
off the market. So come prepared! We accept cash, major credit
cards and bank transfers.
WHILE
BUYING:
Retain a solicitor
(avukat) who should carry out the title, deed (tapu) checks
and other surveys. You would have to sign a Power of Attorney
in order for your solicitor to conclude the necessary paperwork.
We can gladly refer you to a few reputable solicitors in town
who specialize in such legal work and of course who can speak
fluent English.
Next, A contract will be drawn up between
the you and Homes Bodrum. This will give details of the property,
completion date, payment schedule and terms and conditions.
When this is signed by all parties, the first payment is usually
paid at this time. *Payment schedules are usually flexible
but it of course depends on the development stage of the property.
Payments are usually 25/25/25/25 or 30/30/30/10 spread over
a 6 month to 2 year time frame. On completed properties 100%
maybe required.
You then apply for a security clearance
from the military office to allow you to own a property in
Turkey. This is mainly just a procedure to ensure the property
you are purchasing does not fall in a military restricted
area. Some parts of Turkey cannot be purchased by foreigners.
However, all of our properties are within a permitted zone.
Your solicitor should also be able to help you with this application.
After you have received the necessary permission to purchase,
your lawyer should carry out pre-completion checks. Following
this, you (or your Power of Attorney) will sign a deed of
transfer in front of an officer at the Notary office or the
Land Registry, who then records you as the official owner
of the property. The property tax is paid at this stage.
