I want to buy a property in Turkey but I can take enough time off work to fly over too often to sign all the paperwork. What is the safest way to manage all the legals without getting the sack?!
The buying process in Turkey is very straightforward in comparison with other countries. The buyer only needs to sign two sets of documents, the sales contract and the title deeds. However due to the laws governing the purchase of property by foreign nationals in Turkey, there is generally a delay of several months in between signing the sales contract and signing the title deeds (See 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 Atto
