OLD ANSWER BEFORE 21.May.2012: Turkey has a reciprocal agreement for the purchase of land and property with many countries. This means that the people of these nations that allow Turks to buy land in their countries, can in return, buy land in Turkey. Foreigners may purchase in their name if the property is outside military zones. Based on these agreements foreigners of the following countries are eligible.

Some countries do not allow Turkish citizens to purchase property in their land. That is why the citizens of these countries are not allowed to buy in Turkey. There are some exceptions to this rule such as Russia. Citizens of Russia can buy with special permission of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (Icisleri Bakanligi).

Turkey Realty Group in partnership with selected construction companies are now in a position to offer an exciting and unique financial product to our clients in cooperation with Deniz Bank.. A 50% LTV (Loan to Value) fixed rate mortgage at 5% over a 10 year repayment period.

The title deed is called ‘TAPU' and all property transactions for the foreigners is done only through the Land and Registry offices of the relevant district where the property is located.

You will normally pay 3,000 Euro (approx) reservation fee and then 30% as a deposit within four weeks. Most developers offer stage payments (lump sum to be paid at the completion of each building stage) often with a degree of flexibility towards your circumstances. This will be agreed at the time of purchase

After paying the reservation fee, Turkey Realty Group will carry out the title deed checks. A contract will be drawn up between the seller and the purchaser. This will give the details of the completion date, payment schedule, and terms & conditions. When this is signed by all parties, the deposit is paid. You then apply to Tapu and Land Registry Office for a security clearance to allow you to own a property in Turkey. You can sign a Power of Atorney to conclude all the necessary paperwork if your circumstances require it.

NEW ANSWER in December 2017: According to "Turkish Property Law," foreigners were necessary to get permission from the Military Headquarters if the property is "not" close to the military zones. Turkish General Staff has found a new solution to this problem in December 2017. All military and national security zones were recorded in the land registry plans. Foreigners can receive Title Deed within 2-3 days thanks to the determination of allowed areas.

Turkey’s economy is only just starting to mature, and inflation has fallen from 30% to a manageable 7% in the last few years. An impoverished population, which is still used to cash purchases, has kept prices low but they are beginning to rise. This is partly because of interest from foreign investors and also because more mortgage options are starting to emerge for Turkish nationals. As the mortgage market becomes more competitive, and opens up to foreign buyers as well, prices will continue to rise.

This varies from development to development. Turkey Realty Group  will inform you before purchasing
