Our Process

From search to TAPU in hand.

Buying property in a foreign country is complex. Language barriers, legal nuance, and unfamiliar government processes create risk. Ikamet eliminates every one of them.

01

Property Search & Shortlisting

We curate vetted listings that match your budget, location preference, and investment goal — whether residency, citizenship, or yield.

02

Due Diligence & Legal Check

Our in-house legal team checks title deeds (TAPU), zoning, encumbrances, and military clearance before you commit.

03

Offer & Price Negotiation

We negotiate on your behalf. Turkish property markets are negotiable — our experience saves clients 5–15% on average.

04

Contract & Notary

We prepare the purchase contract, handle notarised translation, and manage the TKGM (Land Registry) transfer appointment.

05

Payment & TAPU Transfer

Funds transferred via Turkish bank account. TAPU issued in your name. We confirm citizenship or residency eligibility simultaneously.

06

Post-Purchase Setup

Subscribe utilities, apply for residency or citizenship, set up property management if needed. We stay with you after handover.

Why use Ikamet and not a local agent?

⚖️

In-house legal team

Local agents don't check title deed encumbrances or zoning restrictions. Our lawyers do — before you sign anything.

🌍

Foreign buyer specialists

We understand the specific paperwork foreigners face: military clearance, currency transfer rules, citizenship eligibility checks.

🔗

Residency & citizenship bundled

Most agents stop at the TAPU. Ikamet continues with your permit or citizenship application — no handoff, no confusion.

💬

English-language throughout

All contracts, correspondence, and documents explained in English. No surprises at the notary table.

Typical buyer costs

Title deed tax (tapu harcı) 4% of declared value
