Our new guide covers how much you can borrow, the documents you need (Turkish tax number, income proof, a valued property), lira versus foreign-currency loans, and the extra costs to budget for.

Planning to buy property in Turkey? Since 2019, every foreign buyer needs an official SPK valuation report before the title deed can transfer, and for citizenship applications, it is the appraised value, not the sale price, that must meet the investment threshold.

Our new guide covers who prepares the report, how long it takes, what it usually costs and how long it stays valid: https://www.bosphorusbrokers.com/property-valuation-report-turkey/

Planning to buy property in Turkey? You will need a Turkish bank account for most of the transaction, from the purchase price to the title deed fee and the earthquake insurance. The good news: foreigners can open one without residency, usually in a single branch visit, once you have your passport, a Turkish tax number and proof of address.

We walk our clients through this step on almost every purchase. Read our full guide for the documents, the steps and the costs to expect: https://www.bosphorusbrokers.com/open-bank-account-turkey-property/

Off-plan or resale, which property route in Turkey actually fits you? Off-plan means a lower entry price and a staged payment plan, but you wait for delivery. Resale means a completed home with a title deed you can inspect and move into right away, usually at closer to today's full market price.

We break down the costs, the risks, and how each route applies to Turkish citizenship by investment: https://www.bosphorusbrokers.com/off-plan-vs-resale-property-turkey/
