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.
