Are there any differences between the laws for Turkish citizens buying property and the laws for foreign nationals?
). The most popular way to avoid having to return to Turkey to sign the title deeds when they are released is to delegate authority to your estate agent or solicitor via a Power of Attorney. Power of Attorney can be very broad but the standard type your agent recommends is a limited Power of Attorney, permitting the appointed agent only to sign the title deeds on your behalf. The appointed agent is obliged to act in your interest and this is protected legally. You can cancel the Power of Attorney at any time by writing to the appointed agent revoking the Power of Attorney and requesting the return of the Power of Attorney documents. If you wish, you can have your Power of Attorney document prepared in the UK but it will need to be apostilled by the Foreign and Commonwealth office (www.fco.gov.uk) at a charge of 19. Alternately, your agent can arrange your Power of Attorney document in Turkey for you and ensure it is notarised by a government-authorised translator in your presence. Top
