Negotiating the property
When an agency tells you about non negetiable prices about a property than it is probably the shimmering in your eyes that he has seen on the property inspection, there is always something to negotiate but the margins may change from builder to builder.
As Ilktomi we are always confidentially on our clients side in negotiations.
Amendments on the property
A lot of amendments which are not very substantial can be made without extra costs on off-plan or uncompleted properties and may cost extra on turn-key properties, It is advised to inspect the property thoroughly to have a clear idea about the desired amendments and to include them in the negotiation.
Every agreed amendment has to be written down in the deed of sale in detail and clearly.
The legal work at Notary and Solicitor
Totally 5 hours should be scheduled for notary and the solicitor on your inspection trip in Turkey to settle everything and usually the last day of your trip is sufficient for the legal work. The solicitor will draft the deed of sale with all details bilingual in Turkish and English and answer your questions regarding the legal aspects of the property purchase.
Signing the deed of sale
After the deed of sale is signed by all contracting parties usually in front of the solicitor it takes effect and is the most important document until the title deed is transfered on the purchasers names.
