For example, the average purchase price of a house in Tehran is about 30 and in Istanbul about 15 million tomans per square meter. However, the quality and facilities of Turkish real estate are much higher.

3- Geographical and cultural proximity

Another advantage of buying property in Turkey is its geographical proximity to Iran and, more importantly, the lack of a visa requirement to travel to this country. Another is that Turkey and Iran are very similar in terms of history and culture, and this makes it easier for Iranians to immigrate and buy property in Turkey. 

Obtaining Turkish residency by purchasing a property in Turkey in 2021

In fact, staying in Turkey by buying a property is the easiest and fastest way to get a residence permit in Turkey. Immigrating to Turkey by buying a house is currently one of the most popular ways to immigrate to Turkey. One of the reasons for this popularity is obtaining Turkish citizenship by buying property. This means that you can get a Turkish passport by buying a house in Turkey! 

Note that : Citizenship is different from permanent residence !! Citizenship is a formal and legal status that leads to citizenship, a passport, and most importantly, constitutionally guaranteed rights. ‌ Many countries may grant you permanent residency, but obtaining citizenship involves high costs and time. It takes a long time. 

The difference between obtaining Turkish citizenship and residency and buying a property

Following the Turkish government’s decision to grant citizenship to foreign investors in real estate worth US $ 250,000, the buyer and the buyer’s spouse and their children under the age of 18 can acquire Turkish citizenship or citizenship; Whereby these people are considered citizens of this drawer and receive a national card and a Turkish passport; By acquiring Turkish citizenship, you will enjoy all the rights that a Turkish citizen has.

How not to buy expensive property in Turkey?

Since the purchase of property in Turkey reached its peak in 2021, many problems and concerns have arisen as a result. Examples of these problems include concerns about the purchase price of property and fears of high prices and fraud in this regard.

Many buyers looking to buy a home in Turkey do not know the pricing criteria and the average price in different regions; Meanwhile, profiteers seize the opportunity and dominate the property above the real value to the buyer. In such cases, the following points should be listened to:

 Go to the real estate office and use the services of an expert to find out the real price of the property.

Using reputable and compassionate experts is the best way to buy a property at its real price.

When buying a property, calculate the growth rate of property prices in that area and, of course, the inflation rate.

Real estate in residential complexes is more valuable and will give you more profit later when you sell.

The more facilities in the area and the better the access, the higher the value of the property and the easier it will be to sell.

Risks of buying property in Turkey

It is good to explain the dangers of buying a property in Turkey.

1- Buying property owned by:

You may not believe it, but there are cases when people after a period of residence in the purchased property, face the real owners. Some owners have been away from their property for any reason. Some are the heirs of the previous owner. In these cases, having a real estate lawyer in Turkey is very helpful. Because it can confirm the authenticity of the document. Please consult with the consultants of the official iHomes company before buying; We are with you through a reputable Turkish lawyer.

2- Purchasing from travel agencies:

You have to keep in mind that the work of travel companies and travel agencies is the same as tourist services. Not buying real estate in other countries. Do not even seek help from travel companies as an intermediary.

3- Purchasing from unreliable companies:

Unfortunately, these companies exist both in our country and in Turkey. Be sure to check the necessary permits when buying a property. And get valid inquiries. 

4- The illusion of obtaining a residence permit in Turkey by buying a cheap property

We will explain more about this in the following. 

Buy Cheap Property In Turkey:

Buying cheap property is one of the biggest tricks to buying property in Turkey. As we said before, there is no cheap property in Turkey. In addition, you have to pay a certain amount to get a residence permit in Turkey by buying a house and any kind of property. So buying cheap property is practically useless. And remember that no discount is unreasonable.

Legal advice on buying a property in Turkey in 2021

1- Full identification of owner documents:

First, you must thoroughly and thoroughly review the identification documents and the power of attorney of the seller or the signers of the contract. If, on behalf of either party to the transaction, another person, as attorney or guardian, signs the contract, the information of the seller and the original owner must match the documents of the owner of the document.

2- It is forbidden for the parties to the transaction not to trade.

For example, a bankrupt person is not legally allowed to participate in any transaction.

Statistics of property purchase in Turkey by Iranians

Maybe you know better yourself. Because this article has been mentioned many times in different media. That Iranians have been among the biggest fans of shopping in Turkey. The favorable weather conditions in Turkey, the closeness of the culture of the two countries, obtaining a Turkish passport, the more reasonable price of the lira than other currencies and receiving easy accommodation are among the reasons for the popularity of buying property in Iran by Iranians. The number of property purchases in Turkey by Iranians during the corona outbreak has increased even more than before!

According to the Turkish Statistics Center, Iranian citizens were the largest group of foreign buyers in Turkey in February 2021, buying 477 houses in Turkey.

After Iran, citizens of Iraq, Russia and Afghanistan were the most foreign buyers of houses in Turkey in 2021, respectively.

Note: The obligation to employ an official translator in purchasing the property

One of the conditions that must be observed when buying any property in Turkey is the use of an official and first-class Persian translator, approved by the Istanbul judiciary.

All Tapu offices throughout Turkey are required to use an official and first-class translator when transferring a document. 

In addition, there are some things to keep in mind:

It is necessary for the translator to be first class and have the right to sign from the Istanbul judiciary, not a second class translator with the right to sign from notaries.

It is also a good idea to check the translator’s credentials, as it has sometimes been observed that real estate agencies use people who are fluent in Turkish only.

Additional note about transferring money to buy a property: 

Bank transfers to buy property in Turkey

Transferring money to Turkey when buying property in this country for citizenship has always been one of the concerns of Iranians. Since there are many obstacles and restrictions for the international transfer of money to Iranians, it is recommended that: 

 First, open a bank account in Turkey in your own name (preferably in the Agricultural Bank).

 Transfer the desired amount to your account from an exchange office, in cash or by remittance.

 Finally, transfer the amount from your account to the seller’s account.

Transfer of property purchase for citizenship, without having a bank account in Turkey

As you know, to get Turkish citizenship you have to buy a property worth US $ 250. Now this amount can be transferred to the seller’s account in different ways. It is even possible to transfer this money in the following ways:

 Transfer without having a bank account through institutions

 Transfer in person to the seller account

Although this is a formal and legal transfer, it is interesting to note that opening an account in Turkey, having or not having a bank account does not interfere with this process. It is enough to deposit in the receipt: 

Mention your name in the details field,

And in the description field, enter the property details.

In addition, it is always recommended that if you use such a method, always refer to reputable and reliable institutions.

Documents required to transfer the document

A photo of the previous owner

Two new owner photos

Buyer’s passport and its translated version in Istanbul Turkish

Property registration with the Turkish Earthquake Insurance Agency (dask)

Completion sheet and tax-toll settlement from the district municipality

Presence of an official translator approved by the Tapu Office

Confirmation of power of attorney by the judicial authorities (this section is for cases where instead of the owner and the buyer, their lawyers are in charge of performing the steps.)

Attention to area and share in the transfer of real estate in Turkey

One of the dangers of buying a property in Turkey, which should always be paid special attention to, is to pay attention to the area and share when transferring a property document in Turkey. In 2021, when property sales in Turkey are at their highest, scams are very likely to occur in the following cases: 

In this type of abuse, the buyer pays the full amount of the document to the seller.

 The buyer receives the document and assumes that he now owns 100% of the property.

 But due to lack of fluency in Turkish and ignorance, he does not pay attention to the existence of the phrase TAM HISSE BEDELI (equivalent to 100% of the property share) in the text of the document.

 In such cases, and in the absence of the above phrase, only a portion of the property lord’s share is assigned to you.

It is recommended that you always seek the help of a knowledgeable translator or experienced professional to transfer a real estate document in Turkey.

Ancillary costs of buying a property in Turkey

You should know that in addition to the cost of the property itself, ancillary costs such as a lawyer, notary, tax and… are also involved in the process of buying a property in Turkey. The costs of a lawyer and translator depend on the person you choose. The list of incidental expenses is as follows. 

Real estate agency fee: 3.% of the purchase price of the property

2% of the buyer’s property must be paid by the buyer for the document and taxes and 2% by the seller.

The buyer must pay 1,500 lira to the notary public.

The Registration and Documentation Center must approve your translator (translator costs 700 lira)

Transfer transaction tax, 4.4%, is usually split 50/50 between the buyer and seller, based on the value of the property, not the purchase price. Each council has a list of estimated property values ​​and uses them to calculate taxes.

Tapo registration fee: US $ 125

Cost of official documents: US $ 375

DASK insurance, the cost of insurance depends on the square meter of your property. For example: DASK for a two-bedroom apartment of 70 square meters is about $ 73 per year.

In addition to the costs listed in the table above, it is usually necessary to pay a fee to real estate agencies, as in Iran. This amount will be about 2% of the value of the purchased property. In addition, agencies will charge you for VAT services.

Is it possible to buy a house with a bank loan in Turkey?

First of all, as an applicant for a property loan, you must submit your application to the bank in question. The relevant bank, after reviewing the application and approving the property document, will sign a contract with you and finally pay the loan to the seller.

Of course, Turkish banks do not normally lend to those with Iranian passports. Some banks also provide banking services to Iranians and open accounts for them, but do not give them loans to buy a house.

Of course, there is another way to buy a house in Turkey without a loan, which is one of the ways to buy a house under construction. In this case, pay 20 to 30% of the cost of the house under construction in the first place and pay the rest in installments according to the agreed schedule. We will explain more about this in the following. 

Buy property in installments in Turkey

Many companies may offer you to buy a property in installments and you will be tempted to buy the property you want in installments. This has advantages and disadvantages, which we will explain below. 

Benefits of buying an installment house in Turkey

Less financial pressure on the buyer and increase purchasing power

The range of your choice increases and you can assume a two-bedroom apartment in installments instead of a one-bedroom apartment.

In some projects under construction, before the document is issued, sometimes the desired property can be exchanged for another property.

Sellers offer more options and privileges to attract the customer’s attention.

Disadvantages of buying a home in installments in Turkey

In most installment sales contracts, the document is usually delivered to the buyer after the installments are completed. During this period it will not be possible to exchange or sell the purchased property and the buyer may lose another better choice.

  It is possible that the installment purchase will be affected by changes in terms and regulations (because the document will be issued after payment) and these changes may not be in the buyer’s favor. Complete fulfillment of all obligations by the builder by the end of the project is an issue that will sometimes be problematic.

Permanent changes in the exchange rate of the lira and the dollar against the toman can cause great financial losses for the buyer.

Who can buy property in Turkey?

Turkey allows foreign investors to buy property on the basis of reciprocity. This means that those countries that allow Turkish citizens to buy property in their country can buy property in Turkey on the principle of reciprocity. According to the same law, all EU citizens (except Belgium, Cyprus, the Czech Republic and Slovakia), the United States, Canada and other Asian and Latin American countries can buy property in Turkey. Iranian citizens can also buy property in Turkey.

Types of housing in Turkey

There are several types of housing in Turkey, which we will explain below. 

Apartment houses

This style of house is familiar to almost everyone. And the Greshkat unit, or their co-conspirator, has more fans than the other classes.

Ordinary Sites

Ordinary estate houses are also called residential complexes that do not have many recreational amenities and only a green space and general security is considered for the complex.

Residence Sites

Residential sites also mean towers that have all the amenities of recreation, such as swimming pool, gym, etc., and in addition to total security, the blocks are independently guarded; And they may be built in a town space or several separate towers. The cheapest units are residential suites or units without a bedroom.

I suggest that you watch the clips produced by iHomes, which are on the company’s Instagram, at this link, to see the details of the residency projects.

Independent houses

Independent houses are villas that, as their name implies, are independent and do not share a building or other unit and are relatively expensive. 

Comparison of property purchase in Iran and Turkey

Comparing the property market in Iran and Turkey is also very interesting. We have heard a lot that buying property in Turkey is much cheaper than in Iran and even the cost of the property is significantly lower. But how true is this statement?

Looking at the available statistics and information published in 2021, we can well understand the accuracy of this issue.

For example, the average purchase price of a house in Istanbul, Turkey, is about 4,000 lira per square meter, which is equivalent to about 12 million tomans in Iranian currency. Meanwhile, the average purchase price of a house in Tehran is about 30 million tomans per square meter. 

Of course, it should be noted that the price range of houses in Istanbul is very wide and you can see prices lower and higher than the amount. But the situation is slightly different when it comes to renting a house. In our opinion, rental prices in Iran and Turkey are not much different from each other, although the range of rental housing in Turkey and Iran is very wide, but the main price difference can not be taken into account. But there is a very important issue here and it should not be overlooked is that the ratio of monthly income to rent in Turkey is much more logical than in Iran.
