Property where summer lasts nine months A home above the Mediterranean.

The first step is a free assessment of what you are looking for. It can take several conversations and carries no obligation whatsoever. We then email you matching properties with photos and an honest description.

Once there are a few worth seeing in person, we help arrange the trip. In Alanya a colleague who speaks your language accompanies the viewings and the entire purchase process.

If you are serious, it is worth travelling with a deposit: good properties sell within days. A deposit is typically ten per cent of the purchase price, but at least a few thousand euros.

First we obtain a Turkish tax number for you. It is a simple process, roughly ten minutes, and needs no appointment.

Next we open a Turkish bank account with euro, dollar and Turkish lira 'pockets'. You receive the card when the account is opened and can use it immediately.

The third step is a power of attorney before a notary, which lets the administration continue in your name. All of this can be done in a single day, because we can arrange priority handling everywhere.

Then comes the sale itself and the issuing of the title deed (TAPU), on which you appear as the owner.

Yes. A foreign individual can acquire property ownership directly in Türkiye. Once the sale completes, you appear on the title deed (TAPU) as the owner, with full rights.

The authenticity of the deed can be checked in the local digital system, even via a QR code. The property can be inherited, gifted and sold at any time.

Before every purchase we check the title: the identity of the owner, any charges, mortgages and the building permits.

The largest item is the title transfer fee, a few per cent of the official value of the property. On top of that come notary fees, translation and interpreting fees, the cost of opening the bank account and the premium for the compulsory earthquake insurance (DASK).

In practice these items together typically amount to a few thousand euros, depending on the value of the property. You always receive the exact, itemised figure in writing in advance — there are no surprises afterwards.

We charge no agency fee on the buyer's side.

For an average property of 90–100 square metres, used a week and a half to two weeks a month, water, electricity, internet, the cleaning after each stay, the service charge (pool and building maintenance) and topping up the Turkish mobile together usually come to a modest sum each month.

The service charge varies a great deal between complexes: it is higher in a development with an indoor pool, sauna and concierge, and considerably lower in a smaller, simpler building. We always show you the actual figure before you buy.

If you wish, we manage the property in full. We pay the bills and the service charge, represent you at residents' meetings and keep on top of everything the property needs.

Every time you are in Alanya we give you a detailed, itemised account of what happened and what it cost.
