Kalkan Rural Property for SaleFollowing the law change of January 2006, Turkish rural property which consists of village and mountain property, comes under new laws in respect of the right of foreigners to purchase. These new laws affect all foreign nationalities without exception. Below we have simply explained the terms of these new laws, how they affect what can be purchased. In order to own the properties listed on this page, a Turkish company has to be formed and the property acquired as an asset of the company.
Under the new laws, foreigners can only purchase property which:a) Has land registry title deed
b) Is within an Imar Plani or Mevzii Imar Plan area Explanations a) What is Land Registry Title Deed?Property in Turkey is registered under two ownership systems. i) Land Registry ownership - Property registered through land registry has Title Deeds which are recorded in the regional Land Registry Office. Property with such Title Deeds has been land surveyed as part of the planning development process of an area and the coordinates of the land mapped by and officially recorded by the Turkish Kadastro Office. ii) Village ownership - Large areas of Turkey have not been land surveyed by the Kadastro Office and land is owned, bought and sold under the village system of land ownership. In this system land is recorded in a village registry and transfers are overseen by the village elder and his assistants. The position of land is drawn and referred to by visual reference points and its relationship to neighbouring property. b) What do Imar Plani and Mevzii Imar Plan areas mean?Imar Plani refers to the finalised development plan of a small town, town or city. The future development of the area has been laid out by town planners and approved by local and regional government. Mevzii Imar Plan refers to the outline development plan of areas which in the future will undergo full town planning. In the case of Kalkan, the town has a town development plan (which can be viewed at the Council Office or in our office). Many of the outlying villages which appear to be part of the town, are not technically within the town development zone and are therefore not purchasable by foreigners. e.g. Akbel, Islamlar, Bezirgan, Kördere, Ölu Göl. A property can have land registry title and at the same time be outside of the town development area. In this case the property can not be purchased. For FAQ's on this subject please click here!
