Pros and cons of buying a home in Turkey
At the beginning of 2023, the General Directorate of the Land Cadastre of Turkey introduced a new set of rules regarding the acquisition of real estate for the purpose of obtaining citizenship. Main points:
- An investor can buy several objects for citizenship, but their total cadastral value should exceed $ 400 thousand.
- It is impossible to apply for citizenship through the purchase of a share. Only one person can be the owner, even if the object is worth $1 million.
- You can buy real estate for citizenship ONLY from a Turkish individual or legal entity, and the object itself must be owned by them for at least three years.
- The purchase must be confirmed by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Urban Development.
The key “advantages” of buying a home in Turkey include:
- affordable housing prices (there are still a lot of options at a price of up to 100 thousand euros);
- rich infrastructure of residential complexes, including fitness centers, swimming pools, playgrounds, etc.;
- rapid development of coastal regions;
- the rapid growth in the cost of housing, which is interesting to investors;
- relatively low taxes on the purchase and ownership of residential real estate;
- the opportunity to obtain a residence permit and citizenship through the purchase of housing;
- ease of conducting transactions for Russians (now transactions are concluded even remotely, besides, a number of developers have already begun to accept payment in rubles).
In addition to the advantages, it is worth noting some disadvantages:
- non-transparency of the market;
- understating prices in documents, which is fraught with trouble;
- restrictions for foreigners in terms of renting housing;
- “closure” of districts for obtaining a residence permit with TAPU and, accordingly, citizenship in the future;
- local currency volatility.
