Understanding Property Ownership for Foreigners in Turkey
Foreign individuals can legally buy property in Turkey, enjoying almost the same rights as Turkish citizens. Turkey’s property law, grounded in the EU-Civil law system, allows foreign buyers to obtain freehold ownership. This means the property is yours to own fully, including the right to pass it on to future generations. Whether purchasing for investment or residence, the property you buy will carry no restrictions on ownership transfer or inheritance.
Foreigners are welcome to purchase properties in most areas of Turkey, except for certain military zones or sensitive regions where real estate transactions may be restricted.
Key Points:
- Full freehold ownership is granted, ensuring rights for inheritance.
- It’s recommended to hire a legal expert to guide you through the purchasing process and handle all legal documentation.
