HOW DO I PAY?
All payments can be transferred from a British Bank to a Turkish Bank. You have two options
You can pay total amount in one lump sum which ensures that there are no other payments incurred due to price fluctuations, and inflation on materials (which can be quite high in Turkey) and in taxes.
Alternatively you can pay in stages eg first payment will be for the land and foundations (this maybe 25%), the second payment will be for the first floor, the third payment will be for the third floor and roof. The final payment of 10% will be paid when you are given the keys to your dream home. This method of payment is subject to inflation on materials.
