So, what are the bases for the legality of the transaction:

Documents

A realtor who has the right to help you find real estate must have a state-issued license to conduct real estate activities. Such a license is not granted to arbitrary people; to obtain it, you must undergo specialized training and pass exams under video surveillance, as is the Unified State Exam in Russia or the EIT in Ukraine. In addition, data on issued licenses are contained in the state register. Realtors will have to pay a large fine for violating license requirements.

State expertise

The availability of state expertise, which is carried out to protect the buyer. This means that if a foreigner buys real estate, before concluding a purchase and sale agreement, a state assessment of the property and its value is carried out, i.e. the state checks the condition of the property and the correspondence of the value to its condition. If the buyer is misled about the value and condition of the property, such an object will not pass state expertise and will not be admitted to the transaction. In addition, in order to exclude the possibility of agreeing on an examination, a rule has now been introduced according to which documents for examination are submitted online; applicants do not know the data of the officer conducting the examination.

Interpreter

The condition that an interpreter is present in a real estate purchase and sale transaction involving a foreigner is mandatory. This requirement is also provided for in order to protect the interests of a foreign buyer; without an interpreter, the State Administration of Real Estate Transactions will not accept documents and will not conduct a state examination of the transfer of rights.

State guarantees

An additional factor that guarantees the legality of the purchase procedure is the state guarantee of the purity of the transaction. The purchase agreement must be concluded in simple written form in 2 languages — Turkish and the buyer's language; it contains all the essential conditions for concluding the transaction. Some parties involve a notary; he only certifies that the parties have signed the agreement. The only document confirming ownership is TAPU, a certificate of ownership that contains all data.

Discretion

Check documents — the seller must have a TAPU and contain the owner's details. In Turkey, there are situations when a developer sold his apartment and started selling apartments to the owner of the land on which the apartment building is built. In this case, there may be a discrepancy between actions and the owner himself could sell the apartment that the developer is selling to you. Again, we will help you understand all the nuances and you will not find yourself in such a situation.

Docs

Availability of all necessary documents based on the specifics of the transaction. For example, the absence of an act of commissioning a residential building. As a rule, this document is simply not available for reasons that may cause you problems in the future. Because a house can be built in violation of the purpose of the land plot and the building's height requirements. The transfer of funds was issued by an IOU. You may be misled to say, for example, that these conditions should only be specified in a contract of sale that will be concluded shortly.

However, even when requesting the above documents, you cannot be sure of their authenticity, as you have no idea how to confirm the authenticity of documents.
