A comprehensive roadmap to navigating the Turkish real estate market—from initial search to receiving your Title Deed.
Research locations based on your goals: Istanbul for high ROI, Bodrum for luxury lifestyle, or Antalya for holiday rentals.
Visit the properties in person or via Virtual Tour. We verify the developer’s history and project licenses before your visit.
Once a property is chosen, a reservation deposit is paid (usually $5,000 - $10,000) and a sales contract is signed in front of a notary.
We assist you in obtaining a Turkish Tax ID and opening a local bank account. This is mandatory for the property transfer and utility setup.
An independent valuation (SPK) is required by Turkish law for all foreign buyers to ensure the price reflects the true market value.
The final transfer happens at the Land Registry Office. Once the Tapu is in your name, you are the 100% legal owner of the property.
