Can foreigners buy property in Turkey?

Yes. Foreign nationals from most countries can legally buy residential and commercial property in Turkey. Alanya Ortak Kuruluş Real Estate handles the full legal process, from TAPU transfer to tax registration and utilities.

How can I get Turkish citizenship through real estate?

Buyers who invest a minimum of USD 400,000 in Turkish real estate and keep it for at least three years qualify for Turkish citizenship. We provide approved appraisal reports and full application support.

What are the total costs when buying a property in Alanya?

Typical extra costs are around 6–8% of the purchase price: title deed tax (4%), appraisal report, notary and translation fees, DASK earthquake insurance and utility subscriptions. Our team gives you a clear itemised quote upfront.

Do I need to visit Turkey to buy a property?

No. You can buy remotely via a notarised power of attorney. Many of our international clients complete the entire purchase online, including virtual tours, contract review and TAPU transfer.

Which areas in Alanya are best for investment?

Mahmutlar, Oba, Kestel and Kargıcak are the most popular areas thanks to strong rental yields and new developments. For luxury beachfront, Alanya centre and Cikcilli are recommended. We help match locations to your budget and goals.

Property Insurance in Turkey

Protecting your property investment in Turkey starts with the right insurance. There are two main types of property insurance in Turkey: DASK (mandatory earthquake insurance) and optional home insurance for broader coverage.

DASK – Compulsory Earthquake Insurance

DASK (Doğal Afet Sigortaları Kurumu – Natural Disaster Insurance Institution) is a mandatory insurance for all residential properties in Turkey. It must be renewed annually and is required for utility subscriptions and title deed transfers.

DASK covers structural damage to your property caused by earthquakes and related disasters such as fire and landslides triggered by earthquakes. The premium is calculated based on the size of the property and the seismic risk zone.

Optional Home Insurance (Konut Sigortası)

In addition to DASK, we strongly recommend taking out an optional home insurance policy (Konut Sigortası) which provides comprehensive coverage including:

Fire, lightning, and explosion
Storm, flood, and water damage
Theft and burglary
Glass breakage
Third-party liability
Contents insurance (furniture and personal belongings)
