An easy way to become the owner of a property in the Republic of Turkey and to obtain a residence permit in a resort country is to buy an apartment or house. Most people dream of their dream home, so the implementation of the plan begins with the purchase of a land plot.

Although in Turkey there are no standard layouts, and the owner at the stage of building an apartment in a new building can independently choose any arrangement of rooms that he likes, all the same, sometimes you want something individual.

If you want to satisfy all your needs as much as possible regarding the area, layout, location of your home, then it is worth starting with the choice of territory. Prices for land located in Turkey are different and it all depends on:
 area of ​​the facility;
 destination;
 location area.

What to look for when buying a land plot in Turkey?
At the very beginning, it is worth pointing out that in practice there are several types of plots on the territory of the Republic of Turkey:
1. Agricultural land.
The main purpose of such sites is to sow the appropriate crops, as well as the construction of berry-fruit plantations. It is prohibited by law to erect any structures in such territory, and changing the status of an agricultural plot seems to be a rather complicated and laborious process.
The solution of the issue is carried out by the local municipality and in most cases, a negative answer comes to the appeal. Before deciding to acquire real estate in another country, it is important to familiarize yourself with the rules for buying a land in Turkey in 2020 in detail.
2. Land used for the construction of residential and non-residential buildings.
It is immediately worth noting that if only the construction of a residential building is allowed on the site, then commercial facilities are forbidden to build, and vice versa. The document on the title to land for the construction of residential square meters, indicates "Konut imarli arsa".
If the goal is to build an object of a commercial structure (shopping center, hotel), then in the destination line of the property will be written - “Ticari imarlı arsa”.
3. Land owned by the Republic of Turkey.
In such areas, the organization and implementation of any construction process is completely prohibited. If you want to use land plots that fall into this category, you can conclude a long-term lease agreement with local authorities.

Land registration in Turkey
The land registration transaction is divided into 2 main stages, which are the submission of the collected documentation package and the process of their execution. Documents are submitted to the Cadastral Office. You can make an appointment with this authority online.
A certificate is also attached to the main collected documentation package, which indicates the real market value of the land area. This document can be obtained by the buyer or seller in the local municipality. On consideration and approval of the submitted application with documents, an SMS notification comes with information about the need to pay the state fee.
The size of the state duty is 2% of the declared price of land. The SMS also indicates the date of the transaction in the Cadastral Office. After which the buyer receives a certificate of ownership.
