What's a tapu? How do I ask for a lawyer in Turkey? Does satilik mean that property is for sale, or for rent? What does an emlak do? What's the word for Property Tax?
Buying property in Turkey can be done without any knowledge of the language at all. You can use a good English-speaking agent and a government-authorised translator for the legal bits, and complete the whole transaction without even a word of Turkish.
But sometimes you might want to be able to look things up for yourself, or check key words on your contract (which must be in Turkish to be legally binding in Turkey). So we've added an excellent translation tool to our newsletter, powered by Turkish Dictionary. It's on the right-hand side of this page and very easy to use - just type in the word you want to translate either in English or Turkish and the translation will open in a new browser window.
And of course if you have any questions about buying property in Turkey that can't be explained by the dictionary, we are happy to help! Just drop us an email at info@dizaynhomes.com.
