Citizens of many countries can buy a home in Türkiye in their own name. With good preparation, the process takes a few weeks.
1. Tax number and bank account
A tax number is issued at the tax office in minutes with your passport. Opening a Turkish bank account for payments is recommended.
2. Checking the property
The title record, any mortgage or lien, the occupancy permit and the zoning status should be checked before you buy. Your consultant gathers these documents for you.
3. Valuation report
Foreign buyers need a valuation report from a licensed appraisal company.
4. Title deed transfer
On the appointment day, buyer and seller (or their representatives) attend the land registry, with a sworn translator if needed. Once the fees are paid, the title deed is issued in your name the same day.
Write to our consultant for the current rules and costs that apply to you.
