Real estate acquisition

Buy property in Turkey on your terms, not the seller's.

We search, check and negotiate on the buyer's side. Every property we put in front of you has been valued, its title checked by our lawyers, and its total cost — taxes and fees included — calculated by our accountants.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can foreigners buy property in Turkey?

Yes. Citizens of most countries can buy freehold property in their own name. Some locations (military or security zones) are restricted, and a few nationalities face limitations. We check this at the start.

Can I buy without travelling to Turkey?

Yes, with a notarised power of attorney. Our lawyers can complete the purchase on your behalf while you follow every step remotely.

Do you work for the seller?

No. We represent the buyer. If a commission is paid by a developer, we disclose it to you in writing.

Can I get a residence permit by buying property?

Property ownership can support a short-term residence permit application, subject to minimum value rules that differ by city. We advise on the current thresholds.
