Buyers Guide:
Buying Property in Türkiye as a Foreigner
Buying property in Turkey has become an increasingly popular choice for foreign buyers seeking a holiday home, permanent residence, or a smart investment opportunity. With its attractive property prices, strong rental demand, favourable climate, and lifestyle appeal, Turkey offers excellent value compared to many European markets. However, purchasing real estate in a foreign country comes with important legal, financial, and procedural considerations that are best navigated with experienced local guidance.
Foreign buyers can legally purchase property in Turkey, subject to straightforward eligibility rules and title deed (Tapu) checks. The buying process typically includes obtaining a Turkish tax number, opening a local bank account, carrying out legal due diligence on the property, and completing the sale at the Land Registry Office. Understanding zoning permissions, military clearance, property valuation requirements, and ongoing costs such as taxes and maintenance is essential to ensuring a smooth and secure purchase.
