Avoid the Scams

I will start off by saying that money really is the root of all evil and as in all countries the temptation to scam people out of their money is certainly here in Turkey.

HOWEVER, the Turkish legal system is very strict in its procedures for all matters, and as long as you follow the correct procedures from the start, your money can be protected.

  • DO NOT be encouraged by wayside deals, thinking you are saving a few pounds, it is really not worth it in the long run
  • DO NOT buy from anyone other than registered estate agents
  • DO NOT be rushed in to buying without following the full procedure

There are several ways to secure your purchase and your hard earned money, depending on what kind of property you are buying and under which circumstances.

  • DO ask your estate agent to explain all the options
  • DO continue to ask questions throughout the process
  • DO decide which one is best for you

At Ideal Homes, we are very careful to protect our clients' interests and continuously work with several solicitors to make sure we have the most up to date, best advice to give our clients.
