Name: Martyn Lewington on Feb 21, 2009Comments: I agree with this petition, there is too many loopholes and not enough cover to protect the buyer. Even people who represent you are involved in scams etc.Flag

Name: Carol Griffiths on Feb 21, 2009Comments: When people buy a property they expect reliable,honest,trustworthy agents to represent them-this is sorely lacking from start to finish in the buying process in Turkey. The two tier pricing system with Foreign buyers being made to pay far more for properties and legalities must stop. Turkey has a lot to offer and would encourage a lot more buyers from overseas if they treated investors fairlyFlag

Name: Anonymous on Feb 21, 2009Comments: You can`t trust the lawyers, you can`t trust the emlaks, and all the rest associated with buying & selling appear to be dishonest. Once you get over that then the rest try and rip you off with any type of other work. When you try and get help they rip you off again. One gets the impression the authorities do not care in fact its easy to think theyare part of it.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Feb 22, 2009Comments: A beautiful country but unfortunately corrupt when it comes to building/buying/selling homes by a huge majority of emlaks, builders and solicitors. I am sick of hearing about the problems foreigners are having. There seems to be little or no justice and certainly no real help. It is time something was done to regulate this industry and the legal system.Flag

Name: Peter Scott on Feb 22, 2009Comments: The buying process in Turkey is very dangerous for foreign buyers. It needs overhauling by the government. Its like the Wild west. If you do not get robbed its by sheer good fortune. The government of Turkey could get a lot of foreign currency if they protected the buyers with SOLID legislationFlag

When will somebody take responsibility and offer protection for Foreign Nationals. Only the Government can decide if they want foreignors on equal rights with their fellow countrymen or not.Flag

Name: Glo Hocknell on Feb 22, 2009Comments: I agree, the buying process should be regulated and transparent and the rife corruption that exists should be stamped out where it begins, with the sellers! Foriegn buyers are unwittingly made accomplices to tax fraud and other illegalities then left to foot the bill. It is time that the Turkish government woke up to the fact that Turkey is gaining a very bad reputation among foriegn investors.Flag
