Automation system to ease real estate sales to foreigners
Posted by meb at January 19th, 2008
The agreement signed by the Ministry of Housing and Public Works and the General Staff seems to ease the sale of real estate to foreigners. An automation system will be put into effect to designate if a land is located in a restricted military area. The system will begin operating by May. Justice and Development Party (AKP) Muğla Deputy Nil Hıdır said that the necessary coordination had been supplied to solve the current problems in property sales, reported Doğan news agency.
In the scope of the protocol in question, the General Staff is to send 90 files, including the coordinates of militarily sensitive areas, to the Land Registry General Directorate of the Minstry of Housing and Public Works. The information within the files is to be processed in the automation system. Thus, it will become easier to designate whether a domain is in a military zone or not.
Recently in December, AKP Muğla Deputy Hıdır, meeting with Land Registry Assistant General Director Nihat Şahin, explained the problems in real estate sales deriving from the delay in obtaining decisions from the General Staff. Hıdır asserted that it not only broke the faith of foreigners in Turkey, but also caused problems in credit payments as license and deed procedures could not be carried out.
Şahin, therefore, asked the General Staff and Ministry of Housing and Public Works to come to a mutual agreement. The negotiations ended in an agreement requiring the application of an automation system.
