Elif Arslan replied

The safer approach is to review the property file, seller details and agreement terms before any payment. If a deposit is required, the amount, refund terms and deadlines should be written clearly.

Can I complete the purchase if I cannot stay in Turkey for the full process?

In some cases, a properly prepared power of attorney may help with parts of the process. The scope should be limited to the required actions and reviewed carefully before signing.

Start with property details, seller information, price, payment schedule, delivery date, cancellation terms and responsibility for additional costs. These points should match the actual property file.

Elif Arslan replied

It should not be assumed automatically. The address, current administrative rules and the buyer’s personal file should be checked before a residence permit-focused purchase decision.

Citizenship property Citizenship planning

Should I choose the property first or ask for legal review first?

Elif Arslan replied

For a citizenship-focused purchase, the property file and the buyer’s goal should be reviewed before the final selection. This helps avoid choosing a property that does not fit the intended application path.
