Do the Public Notaries carry out the sale procedure?
Notaries are the lawyers most Turkish people use for such transactions. They are cheaper than the solicitors you can hire in Turkey and they have set procedures for property purchases which are completely legal and secure. One thing you should know about the Notaries is there is 1,5% stamp duty to pay for whatever value you have put on the contract. For example, if you have made a contract for a 100,000 pound worth of a property, you would pay 1,500 as stamp duty. Notaries normally charge around 100-250 for their own fee. Public notaries are the official witnesses who are the lawyers for both parties. Therefore hiring a solicitor will be a better option for you.
