Frequently Asked Questions about Real Estate in Turkey in 2025

❓ What property tax is paid when buying real estate in Turkey?

When purchasing real estate in Turkey in 2025, the buyer pays a one-time property transfer tax of 4% of the cadastral value of the property. Additionally, every owner pays an annual property tax ranging from 0.1% to 0.6%, depending on the property type and location (city or province). Taxes are calculated based on the cadastral value, not the market value — which is significantly lower. Foreigners, including Russians, pay taxes under the same rules as Turkish citizens.

🏡 How can you get a residence permit in Turkey by purchasing property?

Buying real estate in Turkey gives the right to obtain a residence permit. Available options include:
  • Tourist residence permit — in 2025, it has a high rejection rate due to stricter requirements: proof of financial solvency and active bank account activity is required.
  • Property-based residence permit (via TAPU) — issued when buying property worth at least $200,000. This type of permit can be renewed and, after 5 years of permanent residence, allows application for citizenship through naturalization.
  • Investment residence permit with fast-track citizenship — available for property purchases from $400,000. If the conditions are met, the investor and their family can obtain Turkish citizenship on an accelerated basis.

🖋️ Can you apply for a residence permit in Turkey through a notary?

Yes, in 2025 a convenient option appeared in Turkey — submitting residence permit applications via a notary. This innovation has significantly simplified the process and helps avoid technical errors.

📈 Are property prices in Turkey increasing in 2025?

Yes. According to the Central Bank of Turkey, the housing price index rose by 32.34% year-over-year in Q1 of 2025. However, note that these statistics are based on prices in Turkish lira, and the currency is volatile. Also, price dynamics vary by region: coastal resorts and major cities see faster growth than provincial areas.

💶 How much does an apartment cost in Turkey in 2025?

Property prices in Turkey start at around €50,000–70,000 for a small apartment on the secondary market — for example, in Alanya. New buildings and properties with on-site infrastructure cost more. Prices in Istanbul are notably higher, while remote provinces are more affordable.

🧾 What is the process of buying property in Turkey for foreigners?

The purchase process includes:

1. Selecting a property and signing a contract.
2. Making a down payment.
3. Obtaining a Turkish tax ID (TIN).
4. Opening a bank account (optional).
5. Transferring funds and verifying the property.
6. Registering the deal with the Land Registry.
7. Receiving the TAPU (title deed).
8. Transferring utility accounts.

Note: the purchase can be done remotely via power of attorney while outside Turkey.

🇹🇷 Can you obtain Turkish citizenship by buying property?

Yes. The “Citizenship by Investment” program allows you to obtain a Turkish passport by purchasing property worth at least $400,000. Citizenship can be granted in 6–12 months and covers the entire family. Alternatively, buying property worth $200,000 grants a residence permit, which after 5 years of residency can lead to citizenship through naturalization.

⚖️ What are the pros and cons of buying real estate in Turkey?

Pros:
  • Relatively affordable prices.
  • Simple and fast registration process.
  • Eligibility for residence permits and citizenship.
  • Low taxes and utility costs.
  • Developed infrastructure in resort towns.
Cons:
  • Restrictions on short-term rentals without a license.
  • Currency exchange rate fluctuations.
  • High mortgage interest rates within Turkey.

🌍 Where is the best place to buy property in Turkey?

Popular locations among foreigners:
  • Mediterranean coast: Alanya, Antalya, Kemer, Mersin.
  • Aegean coast: Bodrum, Izmir.
  • Major cities: Istanbul and Ankara — for living and rental income.

💸 How much does it cost to maintain an apartment in Turkey?

Costs include:
  • Annual property tax: €200–400.
  • Aidat (complex maintenance fee): €30–300 per month.
  • Utility bills: metered, on average €1000–2000 per year for a 50–60 m² apartment.
  • Garbage collection fee: €20–80 per year.

💰 Can a foreigner get a mortgage in Turkey?

Yes, foreign citizens, including Russians, can obtain a mortgage from a Turkish bank for property purchase. It’s especially easy to get a loan for ready-to-move-in apartments in projects with a 90% or higher completion level — meaning you can move in right after the deal is completed.

📜 Is it necessary to issue a power of attorney for remote purchase?

Yes. A notarized power of attorney (can be issued at the consulate or by a notary in your home country with an apostille) allows you to complete the entire transaction remotely.

🔐 Is it safe to buy property in Turkey?

If you buy through a trusted agency with legal support, the transaction is completely safe. All deals are registered through the state land registry.

🌐 Can you rent out your apartment?

Yes. Long-term rentals are unrestricted. Short-term rentals (daily) require a special license and registration on Turkey’s e-government website.

📍 Can you choose an apartment via video or online?

Yes, RestProperty offers online property tours, video reviews, 3D tours, and full remote transaction support.
