How to Buy Property in Turkey Remotely (Without Visiting) in 2026
You can buy property in Turkey entirely remotely — choosing, negotiating, paying and taking title — without ever boarding a plane, using a notarised power of attorney and secure banking transfers. Thousands of international buyers purchase this way every year. Done correctly, with independent legal oversight, remote buying is just as safe as buying in person. Here is exactly how it works.
Is it really possible to buy without visiting?
Yes. Turkish law fully allows purchase by proxy through a power of attorney (POA). Your appointed lawyer can obtain your tax number, open a bank account, sign the sales contract and complete the title transfer on your behalf — all while you watch progress by video and approve each decision.
The remote buying process, step by step
| Step | How it works remotely |
|---|---|
| 1. Shortlist | We send verified listings matched to your goal and budget. |
| 2. Live video tour | Walk the property on a live call; ask anything in real time. |
| 3. Reserve | Secure the price with a documented deposit. |
| 4. Power of attorney | Signed at a Turkish consulate near you or a local notary. |
| 5. Due diligence & payment | Lawyers verify title; funds move through the banking system. |
| 6. Title transfer | Your lawyer registers the TAPU in your name; you receive it digitally. |
How the power of attorney keeps you safe
A well-drafted POA is limited to the specific transaction and can list exactly what your representative may and may not do. It does not give anyone open-ended control of your money. You approve the property, the price and the payment schedule; the POA simply lets the paperwork happen while you are abroad.
Making payments securely
Never pay in cash or to informal accounts. All funds should move through the banking system, in your name, against a property with a verified, clean title — which also creates the currency-transfer record needed for a VAT exemption or citizenship application. We structure every payment this way.
Video tours and virtual due diligence
Live video tours let you inspect the property, the building and the neighbourhood in real time. We supplement this with floor plans, title documents, the valuation report and location data, so your decision rests on facts, not photos alone.

Frequently asked questions
Do I ever have to travel to Turkey?
No. With a power of attorney, the entire purchase — including the title transfer — can be completed while you remain in your home country.
Is remote buying safe?
Yes, when payments go through the banking system and an independent lawyer verifies the title before any funds are released. We manage both safeguards.
Where do I sign the power of attorney?
At a Turkish consulate or embassy in your country, or at a notary. We prepare the exact wording and guide you through it.
How do I receive the title deed?
The TAPU is registered in your name and issued digitally (e-TAPU), which you can verify online — no physical presence required.
