1. Checking the Property Legally
Property purchasing procedures and customs depend on the country where you are buying. In other terms, every country has different procedures and standards for property purchasing. As a foreign property buyer, you probably have no idea about the property purchasing procedures in Turkey. So, we recommend you to deal with a professional company like Bursa Homes.

2. Sales Contract and Deposit Payment
Signing a sales contract is the first serious step of buying a property as it secures the property for the buyer determines the sales conditions under the agreed terms between the buying and selling parties. If you don’t know when to hire a solicitor when buying a house, it may be very advantageous to do it just before signing a sales contract. Your lawyer will warn you before any legal obligation if there is anything to consider.
The advantage property lawyers offer is a smooth buying experience ensuring that buyers will not have to deal with problems due to a lack of knowledge and experience. A property lawyer helps its clients with the processes described below.
• If the parties have signed a reservation contract before, the real estate lawyer will draft the purchase contract according to the agreed terms.
• If the parties haven’t prepared a reservation contract, the lawyer will draft a purchase contract that protects the rights of both parties legally.
• If the parties have already drafted a contract, property lawyers will review it to make sure that the contract is fully legal. They will also check if it protects the rights of their clients.
