Türkiye is one of the most open property markets in the region for foreign buyers. Here is how the process actually works — from title deed to keys.
Foreigners from most countries can buy property in Türkiye in their own name, with full freehold ownership recorded on the tapu — the official title deed issued by the Land Registry (Tapu ve Kadastro). Unlike many markets in the region, there is no requirement for a local partner or company structure. The process is well-trodden, and tens of thousands of foreign buyers complete it every year.
The Core Steps
What 'All-In' Should Mean
A transparent quote covers far more than the headline price. Expect to budget for purchase tax (title-deed fee, typically around 4%), VAT where applicable, notary and translation costs, the SPK valuation, and earthquake insurance (DASK). TR Property Office presents one all-in figure so there are no surprises at the registry — and we never take a fee from you, because our income comes from the developer.
How TR Property Office De-Risks It
We only introduce developers and projects we have vetted — licence and permit checks, title verification, and delivery track record. Our legal team handles due diligence and the tapu transfer, and we stay with you through residence permits, furnishing and rental management. Tell Ali what you're looking for and we'll shape a route around your budget and goals.
