      \n
    1. A copy of the title deed “Tabu” or the real estate statement.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. A copy of the property’s location in the municipality plan or a site statement.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Property number according to the municipality plan (for land ownership).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Second: Taking the tax number from the tax department, which is a very easy process.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Third: Translating the passport into the Turkish language and certifying it from the notary “Notre” with 4 personal photos.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Fourth: Signing the purchase contract with the seller and submitting its first payment, preferably not more than 25% of the purchase value, conditional on the approval of the security authorities, and in most cases 25% of the property value is paid until the ownership transfer process is completed to the buyer from the competent authorities, then the rest of the amount is paid in full after taking approval from District Directorate and Security Authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Finally: Submitting a property transfer request to the security authorities, “but if a foreigner has previously owned it, the ownership can be transferred in one day.” The approval takes 45 days “if the property is in a building in which a foreigner does not own it.” We advise not to pay the full amount except after obtaining approval from the security authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Upon issuance of the approval, the Land Registry Department (the instrument) is reviewed with the seller and it is preferable to bring a translator to verify the correctness of the data, the property number and the area. However, all these services and procedures are provided to its customers and investors by Imtilak for free, as part of the after-sales services.<\/span><\/p>\n

      As for the expenses owed by the customer and the seller from the sale and purchase tax, it is approximately 3% of the property’s value. And a tax of 1% of the value of the property in exchange for an invoice value for the value of the property, and this is paid by the buyer and the total is 4%.<\/span>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What documents are required for the ownership transfer process, the title” style=”round” custom_font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:24|text_align:left|color:%23af0000″ custom_use_theme_fonts=”yes” use_custom_heading=”true” css=”.vc_custom_1616693413807{margin-bottom: 3px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #ededed !important;}”]<\/p>\n
