Even the process is more or less the same, purchasing a property in Turkey is of course different then doing so in your home country. One of the biggest differences are actually the language since Turkish can be a bit hard to understand for most. Still a lot of Turkish words are surviving without translation when the topic is property in Turkey which can make if hard to understand exactly what is going on and what the exact meaning is. This is why we have made this vocabulary for property in Turkey that covers the Turkish words that are often used without being translated. Kapıcı // Caretaker Görevli // Also caretaker but a bit more polite Yönetici // Administrator Ferdi iskan // Habitation certificate and permission to use the apartment Ön iskan // Approval of the building permission and that all authorities involved have approved the building. Sigorta // Insurance Belediye // Municipality Tapu // Title deed
