Power of Attorney for Property Purchase and Sale

Power of attorney is of great importance in property purchase and sale transactions. A power of attorney is an official document in which one person authorises another person to represent them for a specific transaction or transactions. Power of attorney for property purchase and sale transactions in Turkey is widely used, especially for foreign investors. This document allows a lawyer or a trusted person to carry out the transaction on behalf of the buyer or seller.

The power of attorney is required to carry out transactions at the Land Registry and Cadastre Directorate. In this way, even if the parties are not physically present at the land registry office, the sale or purchase transaction can be made through the proxy. The power of attorney must be notarised and indicate that the person who will carry out the transaction has full authority. During the sale transaction, the proxy can complete the title deed transfer, payment and other official transactions on behalf of the parties.
