Questions on transfer and picking up tapu (at last!)
After what seems like an eternity, our military clearance went through and now our developer wants to sort out the tapu. I have a couple of questions as we want to make sure we have all the information and advice from all you experienced purchasers out there!
How long does the process of transferring tapu actually take? Is it instantaneous or another 12 month wait while documents are changed? Is it just a case of the developer going to the tapu office alone or does he go with us?
The developer wants to do the tapu transfer as he needs his final payment and our solicitor has advised we do this before June 15th as the discount tax rate of 1% goes back up to 3% after this date. We may not be able to go out to Turkey before this time so we could give the solicitor POA to do this on our behalf. My question is how do we do this and is it worth doing?
Also, is there anything else we should be aware of?
Many thanks in advance.
