Minor change - major effect

A minor change in the Turkish lap legislation has just been completed and implemented in these days of practice on title deed offices throughout Turkey.

 And although it's a minor change , it will have a major effect on the foreigners who plan to sell or buy property in Turkey.

 The change means that, where foreigners former typically had to wait 2-4 months before they could be issued with title deeds , so will wait for the future now be as low as only 7-14 days.

 It is therefore once again become even more attractive to trade property in Turkey :
 - Buyer can obtain legal ownership shortly after the conclusion of the trade
- Seller may have released the purchase price much faster
- As a broker , the whole process and trade procedures are completed within a few weeks , instead of the previous several months.

 Similarly, the number of countries whose nationals are NOT able to acquire real estate in Turkey sharply curtailed .
Per today it is only citizens of Israel , Armenia and Syria who can not acquire real estate in Turkey.

 Background: In Turkey , a property must have a military approval before it can be transferred to a foreigner. This authorization has been issued by the military authorities in the respective regions in Turkey , and this has typically taken between 2-4 months per property / housing .
In the future, this military authorization will be issued by the local authorities.
The only prerequisite is that the property / land register in which the residential / apartment is located , has already received a permit from the military authorities , and that this authorization has been issued after 2011.
Or to put it another way : In case on a plot of land has been issued a deed to a foreigner by the year 2011 , which of course has required that the property has received military approval , then this military approval " will be recycled " the future of the local title deed office. Thus there is no need to apply again from the military authorities .

Hottest topic of Alanya is about your guests

  Recently the most discussed topics related to real estate in Alanya is without doubt the amendments to the law about short time rental of privately owned property. This has led to several other discussions that are also relevant for owners of private properties that do not rent out their property. Mainly two questions are being discussed.... - When are people that are staying in my property to be considered as commercial rentals? and - Must I register my guests with the local authorities and how is that done?   On social media platforms a fierce discussion has been going on. So far most information available has been 3rd party information such as "according to.... ", "we were told that... ", "local authorities said that... " and so on.

Good advice when issuing a power of attorney

Good advice when issuing a power of attorney This is usually worth considering when buying or selling real estate or when you are in need of an accountant or a lawyer. Quite often, it can be useful and time-saving to issue a power of attorney to a third party, who can then act on your behalf. The process itself is simple and fast, and alone in and around Alanya there are almost ten different notary offices to choose from. These are the most important issues to remember when issuing a power of attorney: Only issue powers of attorney to persons that you trust and that you know who they are.

Size of a Turkish squaremeter

  This time, we will examine something that should seem quite simple: the size of a square meter. First, let's see what Wikipedia has to say on the subject: The square meter is a unit of area. It is defined as the area of a square whose sides measure exactly one meter. For those particularly interested in the subject, it is worth noting that one square meter equals 0.000001 square kilometers or 10,000 square centimeters. One question Wikipedia does not answer is the size of a Turkish square meter. Experience has taught us that one European square meter and one Turkish square meter are not equal. This is most obvious when we receive the floor plans for the units we promote. These are often quite exaggerated, and we often see 2-bedroom apartments listed as 150 square meters. However, visiting the apartment in question often reveals a different story. In other words, the 150-square-meter apartment turns out to be just 100 square meters. The main reasons for this are: - In Turkey, info...
