Notary Offices For Selling & Buying Property in Turkey
More changes to Turkey's real estate buying and selling process are working in the buyers and sellers favour this time. As of July, the 4th 2023, notary offices in Turkey can now conduct real estate transactions. Whereas previously, they were limited to notarising contracts drawn up by solicitors, they now can draw up the contract and manage the transaction.
Once a sale has been agreed, sellers will book their appointment via the e-Application page on the Union of Turkish Notaries' website. They will enter all property details, submit necessary documents, and enter the details of the seller and buyer. Notary offices will then confirm all applications with the land and cadastre office before sending an SMS confirming the time and date to carry out the transaction.
The fee will be determined at the time. This decision will simplify and streamline the process for real estate agents, buyers and sellers. Even though buying property in Turkey is quick, this will ensure it happens quicker.
