Documents required to buy an apartment in Turkey:

One of the steps that you must take when owning real estate in Turkey is to familiarize yourself with the papers and documents that you must prepare.
- The title deed of the property that contains the most prominent and important information related to it.
- The buyer's passport + a copy of it, and it must be translated into the Turkish language and certified by the notary.

Financial source when owning an apartment in Turkey:

When you decide to buy a property in Turkey, one of the points or details that must be seriously considered is the financial source that you will rely on, or in other words, the price of the apartment. You have to know that you have three options to look at.

1 - Money you saved earlier:

The main financial source that you can rely on is what you save. Study your budget well. Do you have enough money to pay in cash?

2 - Taking a loan from a bank:

If you do not have enough money to pay the price of the property, you can take a loan from a bank in Turkey, and then the buyer pays the amount to the bank in the form of successive payments to be agreed upon and on the date of payment.

3 - Buying an apartment in installments:

If you do not have enough money to pay directly and do not want to buy it using a bank in Turkey, you can buy an apartment by dealing with a construction company and paying in installments.
You may be wondering about the possibility of finding apartments for sale in Turkey in installments, is this possible? As a result of the great desire of foreigners to buy and own real estate in Turkey in light of all the facilities provided by the Turkish government and the privileges that will accrue to them, many construction companies are working to increase the number of their projects and offer offers and high discounts.
After we reviewed together the three forms of buying apartments, in your opinion, which is the best? The wise buyer is the one who chooses the method that avoids falling into the problem of how to pay later, which may be a real problem sometimes. If you study the matter well, you will find that personal finance is the best, but this does not negate the importance of resorting to installment offers in some cases.
When do I resort to buying an apartment in installments? This is what you will certainly ask yourself. In this context, you should know that it will be your best option if you do not have enough money or if you need your capital to use in a business or other field.

Pay attention to these points when buying apartments in Turkey:

There is no doubt that real estate ownership in Turkey is completely safe, and this is what made it an important destination and surpassed many countries in the world, but there are some observations that must be taken into account.
