Property Investment in Turkey


a. Overall

Turkey is an attractive country for investors who wish to take advantage of a rapidly rising real estate market, with a population of roughly 85 million as of 2022, and a large proportion of that population being young and dynamic. The Turkish real estate market has exploded in the last two decades, while the real estate market in many regions of the world has been on the decrease. Leading financial authorities and companies have declared Istanbul to be Europe’s most appealing city for real estate investment. Turkey is one of the most profitable countries over the globe for real estate investment. 

Various modifications, concerning the property title registration legislation, the mortgage law, residency, and the redrafting of tax laws, have a direct impact on how foreign investors can buy and develop properties in Turkey. The Turkish real estate business has become more competitive as a result of these revisions.

Turkey is fast becoming the preferred destination for foreign investors looking to start businesses or buy real estate due to its dynamic demographics and positive economic indicators. Demand for houses and workplaces has increased in recent years as more global corporations and foreigners seek commercial and residential real estate.

Turkey is a regional commercial hub with ultramodern retail malls and easy access to over 1.5 billion people who visit the country for trade and other activities. The demand for infrastructure and facilities has risen as a result.

b. A brief SWOT Analysis in terms of Real Estate in Turkey

Encourage: Financial and banking regulations are solid; there are several globally renowned construction companies; mortgage facilities are within reach; state regulations constantly enrich buyer incentives; real estate is very much on local demand 

Beware: Buying land is difficult, and securing building permits is even more challenging.

Take Your Chance: Local demand for residential and commercial space is high; housing opportunities are being created as a result of urban redevelopment efforts in major cities; earthquake and natural catastrophe regulations have boosted the demand for high-quality building; the influx of visitors and investors has created prospects for office and residential space.

Be Wary: Earthquakes are a typical occurrence in various places of Turkey; in comparison to established real estate markets such as the United Kingdom and the United States, the industry remains volatile; the economy is being strained by a depreciated currency.

c. Your reasons to invest in property in Turkey

Turkish Republic represents secular, democratic, and pluralistic values, and has founded herself upon laws of the same kind. The country currently operates under a presidential system. 

Turkey has an 80 million-strong population, with more than 60% of the population under the age of 40. The younger generation is well positioned to start enterprises and contribute to the growth of the Turkish economy. This mobility also results in an increase in domestic demand for property and a greater need for high-quality housing.

Corporate tax rate has been decreased from 33% to 20% by the Turkish state.

Because of the expanding number of educated, rich professionals, the country enjoys a very large domestic market. For real estate developers, high tourist attraction presents an attractive investment opportunity.

Well-established air, land, and sea transportation systems, as well as the strong energy sector and highly developed technology infrastructure in transportation and communication, makes Turkey a safe and profitable area to invest.

d. Obtain citizenship through investment

The government declared in 2018 that the investment requirement for Turkish citizenship will be lowered. With a $250,000 purchase of Turkish property, purchasers may now obtain Turkish citizenship, making the program one of the most cost-effective in the world. Thousands of purchasers have filed for Turkish citizenship as a result of real estate purchases since the campaign began. For more details, see this section.
