Frequently Asked Questions
Can foreigners buy property in Turkey?
Yes. Citizens of most countries can purchase property in Turkey with very few restrictions. Our legal team will verify your eligibility based on your nationality and guide you through the process.
Do I need to be in Turkey to buy property?
No. Through a notarized Power of Attorney, our legal team can complete the entire purchase on your behalf without requiring your physical presence in Turkey.
What is the TAPU and why is it important?
TAPU is the official Turkish title deed issued by the Land Registry. It is the definitive proof of property ownership and is required for citizenship applications, residency permits, and property resale.
What taxes apply to property purchases?
The main costs include a 4% title deed transfer tax (typically split 2% buyer/2% seller), annual property tax (0.1-0.6%), and VAT (which is often exempt for foreign buyers on first-time purchases).
