Selected reviews from international clients who worked with Best House Turkey.

James Whitfield

★★★★★

Moving to Istanbul was stressful until I met the Best House Turkey team. They didn't just sell properties; they listened. They asked about my job, lifestyle, and even where I'd like to spend weekends. Every viewing felt relevant, never rushed. They walked me through the paperwork and explained everything clearly. Even after the purchase, they checked if I needed help setting up utilities. Their honesty and patience made a huge difference — I now have a beautiful home in Istanbul and peace of mind.

Elena Petrova

★★★★★

I was looking for an investment apartment in Istanbul and the whole process was much easier than I expected. The team was professional, transparent, and helped me compare different areas based on rental potential and long-term value. I finally purchased a modern 2+1 apartment and I'm very satisfied with both the property and the support during the paperwork process.

Daniel Brooks

★★★★★

I had been searching for an investment property in Istanbul for months but couldn't find something that felt right. Most places were either overpriced or not suitable for long-term value. Here, I was shown different options based on my actual budget instead of being pushed into expensive projects. I finally purchased a modern apartment in a growing area and the entire process felt transparent and professional from beginning to end.

Sophia Martinez

★★★★★

I had such a wonderful experience with Best House Turkey! They helped me find the right property at a great price and supported me through every step of the process. Mr. Yasin spoke with the developer on my behalf and his negotiation skills were incredible. Mrs. Paris was amazing too—she took me around tirelessly to see different properties and projects, always with such a warm and caring personality that made me feel comfortable. As a foreigner, I felt completely supported and in good hands. I'm very grateful and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a home in Istanbul!

Oliver Grant

★★★★★

They coordinated my entire property search remotely, combining virtual tours with detailed neighborhood reports. Every viewing was followed up with a customized market analysis and clear financial breakdown. Legal documentation was handled with transparency, and I even received a local's guide to utilities and services. A truly comprehensive service for expats.

FAQ

Turkish Citizenship & Property FAQs

Clear answers on citizenship by investment, property purchase rules, application steps, and eligibility requirements.

Can I Obtain Turkish Citizenship by Investment?

Yes. Foreign investors may apply for Turkish citizenship when a qualifying real estate purchase meets the current investment threshold and legal criteria, including title-deed annotation and banking documentation.

What Is the Minimum Investment Amount for Turkish Citizenship Through Real Estate?

According to the regulations of the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Türkiye, foreign investors must purchase real estate worth at least USD 400,000 and commit not to sell the property for three years by registering an official annotation on the title deed. Eligible properties may include residential units, commercial properties, offices, or land. The valuation report must be officially approved, and all payments must be completed through the banking system.

How Long Does the Citizenship Process Take?

After the title deed transfer is completed and the Certificate of Conformity is issued, the citizenship application can be submitted. The process typically takes 3 to 6 months. Required documents include a valid passport, biometric photos, bank transfer receipts, valuation report, and official application forms.

Can Foreigners Buy Property in Turkey?

Yes. Foreign nationals are legally allowed to purchase residential, commercial, and land properties in Turkey, provided they meet nationality and legal requirements. There is no general restriction preventing foreigners from buying real estate in Turkey. The process still involves legal, financial, and administrative steps that must be handled correctly.

Can Foreigners Obtain Residence Permits by Buying Property?

Yes. Property ownership may qualify foreign buyers for a short-term residence permit, subject to legal requirements.

Are There Restrictions for Foreigners Purchasing Property in Türkiye?

Foreign nationals are generally allowed to purchase property in Türkiye. However, certain military zones and security areas are restricted. There are also regional ownership quotas limiting the percentage of foreign ownership within specific districts. Thorough title deed and municipal record checks before purchase are recommended.

How Does the Title Deed Process Work and What Costs Apply?

The title deed transfer is carried out through the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre. A 4% title deed transfer tax (typically shared between buyer and seller), revolving fund fees, and valuation costs apply. Additional expenses may include notarized translations, compulsory earthquake insurance (DASK), and utility subscription fees.

Is Istanbul a Good Place to Invest in Real Estate?

Yes. Istanbul remains Turkey’s strongest real estate market for foreign investors.

  • High rental demand
  • Capital appreciation potential
  • Liquidity and resale options
  • International tenant market
Can Foreigners Obtain a Mortgage or Pay in Installments?

Some Turkish banks offer mortgage options to foreign investors. For citizenship eligibility, the USD 400,000 investment amount must be officially documented and transferred through the banking system. Developer-based installment plans may also be available, but contracts should be reviewed carefully for compliance with citizenship regulations.

What Rights and Obligations Come with Turkish Citizenship?

Turkish citizenship grants permanent residency rights, access to public services, and eligibility for a Turkish passport. Türkiye allows dual citizenship; however, investors should verify their home country’s regulations. Tax obligations depend on residency status and global income structure.
