The decision to buy a property is a very important decision that you must study well and search for all available options and then choose the best one for you , which meets your needs and serves your goal .

In this article we will give you important advice before buying or selling real estate in Turkey .

 

 What is the importance of a real estate sale contract ? 

A real estate sale contract is an agreement signed between two parties , through which a pledge is made to sell the property from one of the parties , and to purchase from the other party .

The main reason for concluding and signing the real estate sale contract is to prevent the possibility of another sale of the property , and the contract is considered as the first step on the path of ownership , and the contract is also a guarantor of the ownership process , so those who enter into a real estate sale contract in Turkey should pay attention to the following advice :

In order to purchase a property in accordance with a valid contract , the following conditions must be met :

1- The parties' full capacity and satisfaction :

Both parties to the contract must be eligible for the real estate sale contract , so that they are adults and have a level of awareness to understand the meaning of the contract , as each of them will be indebted to the other by signing the contract , and minors who have not reached the legal age can enter into this contract only through adult legal representatives .

The consent and acceptance of the parties to conclude this contract must also be apparent upon signing the contract , and through the contract itself as well , the contract that does not include a statement of the consent of the parties and their acceptance and their will to the sale process is considered legally rejected .

2- Legal property :

The property must be registered in the Land Registry ( TABU ) to avoid loss of rights in real estate sales contracts .

3- Clarity of the price of the property :

That the property and its price be indicated in the contract , and this is also one of the conditions that give the contract its legal capacity .

4- Type of property and suitability for ownership :

The real estate subject of the sale contract must be one of the types of real estate available for ownership according to Turkish law , and these types are registered in a separate page in the registry ( TABU ) .

5- Registering the contract in a specific format with the Notary ( Notre ) :

The contract must be registered with the notary ( notre ) as the organization of the düzenleme contract , and not only as an onaylama authentication , because if the contract is not made in this form it is missing its legal effectiveness .

6- Treatment of real estate annotation :

If the buyer enters into a forward sale contract , this will not be considered by law as property of the property , but rather he has the right to conclude the full sale contract after a certain period , in which case the forward sale contract is confined between him and the person with whom the future sales contract was concluded .

So that the seller can sell the property completely to another person , and the first buyer does not have the right to claim his right to it .

As for when organizing the real estate annotation transaction , the right of the buyer can be guaranteed for everyone who may be associated with the property in the future , and by this the buyer reserves the right to demand the purchase of the property if the property is sold to someone else .

7- The presence of the contract owner in the sales contract :

It is necessary for the landlord to personally enter into the full sale contract , and the buyer may be subject to legal liability if the contract is made otherwise .

 

Before signing a real estate purchase contract in Turkey , the foreign buyer , with the assistance of the real estate consulting firm , must do the following :

  1. Ensure the integrity of the information in the title deed .
  2. Verify that the real estate matches the specifications in terms of its resistance to earthquakes .
  3. In case the property is a plot of land , it is necessary to ensure that it is possible to build on it and the conditions related thereto .
  4. In case that the property or real estate was purchased with the aim of obtaining Turkish citizenship , it must be ensured that it complies with the conditions for Turkish citizenship .
  5. Ensure that there are no debts or taxes on the property.
  6. Ensure that there are no seizure signs on the property from any party.
  7. It is also important for the foreign investor to open a bank account in Turkey and obtain a tax number.
  8. After confirming the integrity of all legal matters related to the property and title deed, the process of drafting real estate purchase contracts begins.
  9. These contracts are regulated between the construction company and the buyer, especially if the property is under construction .

Real estate purchase contracts in Turkey are among the important documents that guarantee the right of both the seller and the buyer , and these contracts are organized to fix the price of the property and reserve it in the name of the buyer with the details of the property recorded in the text of the contract , as well as details of the payments and stages of payment of the property value and the value of installments and their dates in the event that the property is in installments .

It is also important to record the date of delivery of the property to the buyer in the text of the contract , stating the penal terms related to the delay in delivery , and the bank account number of the seller is also recorded so that the agreed amounts are transferred to the account registered in the real estate purchase contracts in Turkey .

These contracts must be registered and documented in the ( Notre ) departments , and it is possible to obtain certified copies of these contracts in the Arabic and Turkish languages .

The Turkish government has guaranteed the rights of the foreign buyer in Turkey by regulating a set of laws and obligating Turkish construction companies and all project owners to implement them .

Contracts are organized according to these laws , as the Turkish state regulates 85% of the information contained in real estate purchase contracts , and the remainder of the contract terms are regulated in accordance with the laws and regulations in force relating to the sale and purchase of real estate in Turkey for foreigners .

Turkish law allows the buyer to cancel the purchase contract after completing the purchase process according to certain conditions . Turkish law also allows construction companies to delay delivery of the property for a period not exceeding 6 months from the agreed date , and in case the delay period exceeds 6 months , the law imposes a compensating on the construction company for the buyer with a monthly amount equal to the current rental amount for similar apartments in the region .

According to what was previously mentioned , we note the importance of organizing real estate purchase contracts in Turkey to protect and guarantee the rights of foreign buyers , and one of the most important factors that help in the process of owning a property in Turkey is free of complications and potential problems is choosing a guaranteed and experienced real estate consulting company in the real estate sector in Turkey , to help you facilitate all procedures and contribute to ensuring the rights of foreign buyers .

Research shows that real estate sales in Turkey have increased in recent years , which means that people who visit Turkey have decided to settle in Turkey for various reasons , and with this increasing , the compulsory valuation decision for real estate was issued by the Ministry of Housing of Turkey and came into force in early 2019 . The law issued on 15 /02 /2019 under No. 1 / 2019 stipulates that real estate evaluation should be obtained by the competent authorities at the commencement of the procedures for acquiring the property or the title deed of the property purchased . Obtaining real estate evaluation was mandatory for those who are seeking to get Turkish citizenship by purchasing a property in Turkey , but the amendment to the law obliged anyone who sells a property of any kind to foreigners in Turkey to undergo the evaluation . A list of real estate evaluation companies who are approved by the Turkish government has been issued , and any real estate evaluation issued by any other company that is not on this list will not be accepted .
