There is 3 years with my wife,we have buy a apartment in Didim in a news called AH1, the seller was TRMA, a british seller (Michael Johns), this society is became Property Prophet (selling the same properties),we were thinking that this seller was our only interlocutor, but no, when we have finish to paid, we don't hear about him and we were lets down with the builder who is KUMUSOGLU Insaat (who is the seller and the builder) since 3 years we are trying to have our TAPU, but nothing for all the buyers because of a piece of land Plot 24 that the builder should buy, but it seems that he don't have money to buy it, or he is lying? I don't know, he try to catch more and more money, he ask us to pay 40£ by weeks for electricty and water, he don't want to put in place individual meters? My question is can we ask individually for Military check ? Can we ask individually for TAPU ? Can we put individually metters for electricity and and water ? Without needing the builder ?

I have been ripped off by an estate agent in Dalaman. He promised to charge 1.5% fee and promised to refund it incase I was unable to buy a certain property.

I could not come to any agreement with the Seller, but the Estate agent did not refund the monies.

Can I complain to some Turkish authority and ask them to investigate and redress the matter? I have full documentary evidence.

I recently went to Dalaman and fell victim to an iept [to say the least] expatriate estate agent who trades as ********* and deals exclusively with English buyers. I lost 1,700TL which were due ONLY if the contract was signed. I discovered the scam and withdrew due to timely advice received through TurkishPropertyLaw. House buying is perfectly safe in Turkey if you: (1) Settle the price and have a Contract drawn by the Notary, (2) Include a Refund clause if Military permission is denied.
If in dalaman, avoid this 'soft spoken', 'casual' and 'plausible' person who has no knowledge of Turkish and works through a young Turkish secretary only! A contract by any lawyer is in the same catogory as drawn up by an agent, FREE. Although valid but not cast-in-iron as the one by the Notary!!

Recently I went to Turkey to pay a property deposit and sign a 'Contract'. I was under the impression that if I went in person, the contract 'COULD' be notarised, making it easier to enforce. To my surprise I was told [by a lawyer] that it could NOT be notarised???!!!

I wonder if anybody has a view on this point.

I was also assured that once I paid the whole Purchase Price, but Military Permission was withheld, I would 'Automatically' get 'EVERYTHING' back from the 'Seller'.

I am not entirely convinced that this is true!
