Buying property in Turkey

Buying a property in Turkey for foreigners

Significant changes have been made to the regulation on amendments to the Land Registry and Cadastre Law and the conditions sought for the buying property by foreigners. Conditions have been improved for foreign nationals wishing to purchase property in Turkey.

Along with the amendment to the law, 183 citizens of countries have been granted the right to get property in Turkey “without seeking a condition of reciprocity”. The concept of reciprocity can be defined as the rights that countries provide to their mutual citizens. In other words, it can be explained as the fact that citizens of two countries can mutually buy property from each other’s countries. Foreign investors will now be able to buy property from Turkey without such a requirement between the two countries with the amendment to the law.

“In terms of buying real estate in Turkey, the term ”foreign” is defined in three categories:

Foreign nationals
Companies with foreign capital
Companies with Turkish and foreign capital

The most important reason for the legal change in the law is to remove barriers to foreign citizens wishing to invest in Turkey and encourage foreign investors around the world to invest and buy property in Turkey.

“Foreign nationals and companies who are citizens of countries determined by the presidency may get property and limited real rights in Turkey, provided that the legal restrictions are met, in terms of international bilateral relations and in cases where the interests of the country are required.

According to the list prepared in this direction, the number of countries with unconditional right to purchase real estate from Turkey, which was 53 before the amendment, was increased to 183.

Restrictions of property purchase for foreigners in Turkey

According to Turkish real estate law, foreign investors have certain property purchase restrictions on land type and areas. The restrictions for foreign investors buying property from Turkey are as follows:

They can buy a property with a maximum land status of 30 hectares, They cannot buy a property in military areas and security zones,

When foreign investors who have not previously purchased any property in Turkey buy a land, they must submit a construction plan within two years from the date of purchase of the land.
