Mortgages In Turkey

Assistance in obtaining a mortgage loan

Many of us would like to have our own “cozy corner” on the sunny Mediterranean coast, where, being tired of the hustle and bustle of the daily routine, you can get away for a little while, forget about the intrusive reality, plunge not only in the tender sea but also in the serenity, beauty, and comfort.

However, unfortunately, for most of us purchasing real estate on Turkish land, largely due to the lack of funds or unwillingness to spend all our savings at once, to this time has been something like a mirage.

But things have changed!

Loan obtaining procedure:

Once the specialists of our company, together with you, have prepared all the necessary documents and translated them into Turkish, they will be delivered to the Bank for examination.

The Bank will invite an expert real estate appraiser, analyze the documents and issue a preliminary loan approval, which indicates: the loan amount, its term, interest rate, and other conditions.

Standard bank offer period — 4 months. At this stage, the Borrower must pay for the expert company services in the amount of approximately 150 euros.

After that starts the procedure of (Tapu) Certificate of Title registering on the real estate Buyer. At the time of Tapu transfer to the new owner, the bank imposes the mortgage encumbrance on it.
