The process takes between a week to ten days from visiting properties and finishing the process of buying (taking in consideration that the client is ready to buy), and it is not obligatory to use a lawyer when buying a property in Turkey but we recommend to use one if you are foreign to prevent any misunderstandings between you and the agent.
