We are buying a property in Turkey (Bodrum Penn) which has been going through since June. So far so good. We have paid our deposit only at this point. However we are still waiting for the Tapu due the Government holidays.
Our apartment is now complete, as is the site, so in theory we could move in at any time. We have been told by the builders representatives that if we pay 50% of the balance owed we would be able to move in now and pay the remaining monies upon receipt of Tapu. Also that technically the property is already ours? He also says that the majority of other buyers on our site are happy to comply with this and move in.
Naturally we are slightly apprehensive about it. Does anyone know if this is correct and what the potential problems if any there may be if we comply? It's not that we don't trust our rep but another opinion would be welcome.
Has anyone already done this? any information would be greatly appreciated.[/b]
