Buying procedure

We offer three types of properties to meet all your expectations. These are off plan- key ready and resale properties. Each of these types offers different specifications. 

 

An Off plan property is a property that is sold before it has been constructed and where the buyer only has the property plans by the architect as a guide to how the finished property is going to be.

 

Key ready property is a brand new property that has never been lived in, that has been completed and is ready to purchase and move in. It means that you do not have to wait around for the developments to be completed before you are able to move in, as you would have to do with off plan purchases.

 

Resale properties are the properties that have been lived in and are also likely that the property will be connected to the utilities, services and will have mature landscaping.

 

Buying process

 

At Bargain Holiday Homes we aim to make the purchases hassle free, simple and cost effective as possible for all our clients. When it comes to buying a property through Bargain Holiday Homes, it can be done in 6 simple steps:

 

Step 1: Our first meeting

 

On our first meeting we will talk through your requirements – your budget, your accommodation needs, are you buying for pleasure, or investment, or indeed both, will you want to rent the place out, do you intend spending a large part of the year there, or just a few weeks in summer…

 

Based on this knowledge we will gather a number of properties that we feel suit your requirements, and arrange a number of viewings. We want this part of the process to be enjoyable, informative and ultimately satisfying.

 

So far this is pretty much similar to buying a property in the UK. However, when you find something you want to buy we will work with you in negotiating with the owner on your behalf, to ensure you get the best possible deal.

 

Step 2: The contract

 

The legal procedures are really quite straight forward. Thereafter a sales contract will be drawn up between the buyer and the seller.

 

The contract should contain the following:

 

•            Details of the purchased property and full names and addresses of the buyer and the seller

•            Details of payment times and how these will be paid

•            Any extras included in the sale price

 

The contract is in English and Turkish for both parties and it will be easy to understand. The buyer will then be required to pay a deposit in order to secure the chosen property.

 

If you’re purchasing off-plan from a developer, there will normally be scheduled payments arranged during the construction of the property. These arrangements will be detailed in your contract, along with any other “extras” from the builder and any penalty clauses you may want to add.

 

Step 3: Legal advice

 

We strongly recommend for you to have a legal representative when you commit yourself to buying a property. The solicitor will make sure that if you buy a property through us the followings will be checked:

 

•            The title of the property is checked.

•            The person of a company selling the property actually owns it.

•            Whether there are any outstanding debts on the property.

•            Where applicable, that building licences and permissions are in order.

•            The terms and conditions stipulated by the seller are checked for fairness.

 

We Bargain Holiday Homes your agent will also check these ourselves on your behalf.

 

Step 4: Title deeds (Tapu)

 

Once the sale agreement has been drawn and the buyer and seller have signed it, the new title deeds (Tapu) will be applied for. The title deeds office will send the documentation for the Military check. The military check is to determine that the area the property is in, is not within a certain kilometre radius from a Turkish Military base.  The whole process will take between 3- 6 months.

 

Then the title deed will then be transferred into your name, which is signed for in the presence of a legal translator. You can either attend the signing in person, or appoint a solicitor or another person of your choice by power of attorney to attend on your behalf:

 

•            For the fees and taxes to be paid

•            For the title to be registered with the government land registry.

 

We Bargain Holiday Homes as your agent can also assist you with obtaining a power of attorney from a Notary. There is an official translator within the notary's office to ensure that you understand the Power of Attorney.

 

Step 5: After sales

 

From the point you sign the contract, our after sales service will take over. We will be keeping you up to date with the news and the developments of your property.

 

Step 6: Completion

 

Near to completion, we will advise and notify you about the completion. On completion we will deliver you the keys. You can move in and enjoy the magic of Turkey from your own place in paradise.
