Property worth at least USD 400,000 per the valuation report, kept for three years, can support a citizenship application.
Residence permit

4% title deed fee
The title deed transfer fee is 4% of the declared sale value, by law 2% each for buyer and seller unless agreed otherwise.

Property by area

Frequently asked questions

Can foreigners buy property in Turkey?

Yes. Citizens of most countries can buy residential property in Turkey in their own name. Some limits apply, for example in military and security zones, so your adviser checks eligibility for your nationality before you commit.

Which properties qualify for Turkish citizenship?

Under the current rules, a purchase worth at least USD 400,000 according to an official valuation report, with a commitment not to sell for three years, can support an application. Listings marked "Citizenship eligible" meet the price threshold; eligibility is confirmed for each purchase.

What costs come on top of the price?

Typical extras are the title deed transfer fee (4% of the declared value), the valuation report, notary and sworn translation fees, compulsory earthquake insurance (DASK) and utility connections. Your adviser gives you an itemised estimate for the property you choose.

Can I buy without travelling to Turkey?

Yes. Viewings can be done by video call and the purchase can be completed through a notarised power of attorney. Many buyers still choose to visit once before signing.

Are the prices on the site final?

Prices are starting prices in US dollars based on the developer's current price list. Prices and availability can change, so your adviser confirms them before any reservation.

How to find property in Turkey as a foreign buyer

To buy property in Turkey that suits you, start with three decisions. First, where do you want to be? Second, what must the purchase achieve? Finally, how much risk can you accept on timing? Most of our current listings are in Istanbul, the country’s largest and most liquid property market, on both the European and the Asian side.

Where to look in Istanbul

Central districts such as Beşiktaş and Şişli combine business access with established neighbourhoods and higher prices. Regenerating areas such as Kağıthane sit close to the main business towers at lower entry prices. Western districts such as Beylikdüzü and Asian-side districts such as Kartal and Pendik offer newer complexes and more space for the budget.

What you can buy

Foreign buyers can purchase apartments, villas, offices and other title-deeded property in their own name, subject to a few legal limits checked by the land registry. You can browse apartments for sale in Istanbul, offices for sale, ready-to-move homes or off-plan projects, depending on your timeline.

Residence permit and citizenship thresholds

A home worth at least USD 200,000 can support an application for a residence permit, for purchases made since 16 October 2023. A purchase of at least USD 400,000 can support an application for Turkish citizenship. It must be backed by a valuation report and a three-year no-sale annotation on the title deed. Our page on citizenship-eligible property explains how listings are labelled.

How we work with buyers

Our advisory service is free for buyers, from the first shortlist to after-sales support. However, third-party costs such as the title deed fee, taxes and translation are paid to the relevant parties as usual. You can start with the property search or answer five questions in the property finder. Alternatively, read our guide to buying property in Turkey as a foreigner before you speak to an adviser.
