Owning real estate abroad is considered not only a profitable investment but also a prestigious right. The main motives that drive people when gaining foreign square meters are, first, the desire to keep their money in a stable currency, and second, to have a permanent paradise, so that there is somewhere to escape from the bustle of the city. And, of course, low real estate prices, climate (long beach season), environmental conditions, high-quality construction and convenient flights.

Acquisition of real estate abroad is a very important decision and should be taken seriously!

When clients come to our office with a desire to invest their money correctly, why do we recommend real estate in Turkey:

  • Taxation of real estate transactions is two times lower than in European countries. Tax on the purchase of real estate is 4% of the cadastral value of the object.
  • The cost of maintaining Turkish housing is minimal and lower than in Ukraine and Russia. The average amount is 400 euros per year.
  • The standard of living in Turkey is higher than in the CIS countries, and living expenses are very low.
    In the past few years, the statistical office has been setting new records - an increase in real estate prices by 10-15% per year.
  • Net rental income per year averages 7-8%.
  • The Law on Mortgage Lending makes it possible to issue loans to non-residents of the country, which facilitates the realization of the dream of a house by the sea, and also increases the level of demand for apartments. Mortgage lending is possible for one to 15 years at a rate of 7-8% per annum in dollars or euros, and about 18% in lira. The registration procedure takes 2 ... 5 days.
  • Developers offer 0% installment for the period of construction of the object, on average it is 2-3 years.
  • Projects at the Off-Plan stage, at the "pencil" stage, attract with competitively low prices and provide an opportunity to receive a guaranteed income on completion of construction from 25% to 80%.
  • The interest of foreign investors in Turkish real estate is growing steadily: in November 2021, home sales to foreigners increased by 48.4% year-on-year to an all-time high, according to the Turkish Statistical Institute. This happened because the depreciation of the lira against the dollar made buying local real estate more profitable for those who pay in US currency.
  • A varied selection of apartments and houses at affordable prices compared to other Mediterranean countries.
    All real estate that is sold in Turkey, together with a share of the land on which it is located, becomes the personal property of the buyer. It is also inherited.
    Turkey is a very affordable country in terms of flights and visa-free regime for citizens of Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
  • The acquisition of real estate in any price category makes it possible to immediately get a residence permit for the whole family, and after 5 years and citizenship.
    After lowering the investment threshold for obtaining Turkish citizenship, the country's passport can be got in exchange for investments in local real estate in the amount of $250,000, instead of the previously required $1 million.
    When Turkey joins the European Union, real estate prices will rise sharply.
