Buying a home in Urla means choosing the right area, checking the documents and managing the process well. Here is the journey in six steps.

1. Choose an area for your lifestyle

İskele and Çeşmealtı for walking to the sea; Kalabak and the centre for schools and shops; Zeytinalanı for a quiet garden; Kuşçular and Yağcılar for vineyards and nature.

2. Work out the total budget

Add title deed fees, the land registry service fee, agency fee, mortgage costs if any, compulsory earthquake insurance (DASK) and moving costs to the price.

3. Check the documents before you buy

  • Title deed: sole or shared ownership, mortgages, annotations
  • Building and occupancy permits
  • Service charges and site rules

4. Put the deposit in writing

A pre-contract should state the parties, price, payment plan and title deed date.

5. Start early with a mortgage

The bank’s valuation can differ from the agreed price; get pre-approval first.

6. Title deed day

Book the appointment online, pay the fees and transfer utilities and DASK afterwards.
