Frequently Asked Questions

Start with your intended use, total budget and preferred layout. Choose two or three listings, record their property references, and ask Ogenus to confirm current availability, price and currency. Request floor plans, the basis of the advertised area and recurring building charges. Keep unanswered ownership, payment and application questions for an independent adviser before reserving a home.

Build a shortlist, inspect the actual homes, and have the ownership documents and proposed terms reviewed before paying a reservation deposit. Ask the bank and land registry which payment and registration documents your transaction needs. Agree who is responsible for each step and record payment, refund and handover conditions in writing. The sequence and timing should be confirmed for your particular purchase.

Request an itemised estimate for the particular transaction. Ask which taxes, registration charges, bank or exchange costs, translation, notary and professional fees apply, who pays each item, and which amounts remain estimates. Budget separately for furnishing, repairs, utilities, building charges and ongoing maintenance. Compare homes using total purchase and ownership costs, rather than an advertised price alone.

DAB is short for Döviz Alım Belgesi, a bank document used in the property-purchase currency procedure. Before moving money, ask the handling bank and land registry whether your transaction requires it, which details must be recorded and which documents are accepted. Obtain the payment instructions in writing and keep the certificate with the transfer records. Do not assume that your residence, account location or payment currency settles the documentation question.

Have your nationality, the exact property and the proposed ownership arrangement checked against current official requirements before reservation. A listing's foreign-buyer, residence or citizenship label is a shortlist aid; it does not establish that your transaction or application qualifies. Ask the responsible adviser to record the documents reviewed, the source and date of the assessment, and any unresolved conditions.

An independent legal adviser can review ownership, restrictions, contract terms and the payment plan from your perspective. Agree the scope and fee before engaging them, and ask which documents they need from the seller and bank. Keep the adviser’s findings and outstanding questions in your purchase file. Do not treat a listing description or an agent’s summary as a substitute for your own transaction review.

Assess your residence plan separately from your property shortlist. Before relying on a purchase for a move, ask the relevant authority or a qualified adviser to check your intended route, exact address, documents and personal circumstances. Obtain a current assessment and record unresolved conditions. A home’s price, location or residence label does not by itself establish the outcome of an application.

Start with the current official investment guidance and an independent assessment of your proposed route. Have the adviser review the property, ownership history, valuation, payment records and your family circumstances together before you commit funds. Request a written list of the applicable evidence and steps. A citizenship tag on a listing is not approval, and a marketing timetable should not determine an irreversible financial or moving decision.

Test the routes you would use from the exact building: shopping, healthcare, public transport, work or school as relevant to your household. Visit at different times if possible and assess noise, access, stairs or lifts and seasonal activity. Compare particular homes in Oba, Mahmutlar, Kestel or other areas using the same priorities; a district name alone does not describe every street or building.

Compare a small group of similar homes using confirmed layout, net or gross area, building condition, location and facilities. Record the asking currency and observation date. Advertised asking prices are not evidence of completed sale prices. Include charges, repairs and items included in the sale, then request an independent valuation when appropriate to your purchase.

Use dated evidence for the specific location and property type, and distinguish asking prices, completed transactions and forecasts. Exchange rates, financing conditions, new supply and the home's condition can affect your decision. Test a purchase against several budget and occupancy scenarios rather than assuming continued price growth or a fixed rental return. Ask for the original source behind any market figure.

Ask Ogenus for a written scope of the support available for your home, including who handles utilities, furnishing, inspections or maintenance where offered. Confirm charges, response arrangements and any work performed by outside providers. Keep handover records, equipment instructions, warranties and building contacts together. A property-management or rental arrangement should have its own agreed responsibilities and terms.
