Once you get the idea and decide to buy a property by the Mediterranean Sea the story begins…
Going through innumerable amounts of adverts?
Confused after seeing same property in 10 different advertisments in 10 different price and 5 different location but for sure same photos ?
Being shown same property by several agents but in totally different prices?
Loosing your time on viewing same apartments again and again?
Trying to find out whose version is real and whose not?
Viewing properties yourself ? Why not? Some customers come to Alanya on their own, by rented car, search for the apartment of their dreams. As a result, the kilometres that they make, lead them to wish for cars to drive on oxygen, not petrol (remember in TR it is not cheap 🙂 also that gps could be working with more accuracy. They slowly lose their faith in making their plan come true without losing their health in the process 🙂 How to avoid all that unnecessary drama, expenses and frustration?
Yes, the truth is, that the real estate market in Turkey- especially in our Alanya region, is not strongly based on ethical and business standards yet. It is growing fast, but when it comes to procedures, rules and transparency- it is missing a lot. So customers need to be careful and remeber about basic rules like:
- use services according to their aim ; if you are hungry, go to the restaurant, but if you want to buy apartment use real estate advisor; buying apartment via a waitress, taxi drivers, tour guids etc. will give a lot of stress to many of property buyers in Alanya.
- have any kind of agreement confirmed on a paper; even if Turkish law does not oblige the seller and the buyer to make the written agreement, take care about your rights, and do this
- do not pay any money to anyone without written confirmation of receiving the money ; so many people paid thousands of euros and lost it, just because they were not able to proof anything…
- be sure that you understand each other without problems; if not, use sworn translator
- visit office and ask for legal documents (should be hanged in well visible place)
- check if agency you are using is certified; unfortunately this cannot give you 100% peace of mind, but at least…; as the sworn translator unfortunately I have witnessed too many court cases against “a certified agents”.It is a huge shame for our business branch …
- do not sign anything without reading and understanding
