Selling Property in Turkiye ?

Who are your buyers ?

How best to find a buyer for a property in Turkiye ?

First identify 'who' the potential buyers are…

If you the seller is a non-Turkish owner of a property in Turkey, the following buyers will not be allowed to purchase the property:

a) Non-Turkish buyers that are investing to obtain Turkish Citizenship (USD 400,000) and residency (USD 200,000)..

If your property does not have the full permits, the following buyers will not be allowed by the land registry to purchase the property:

a) Non-Turkish citizens.

How to find out if a property has full permits ? Please click on this link to send an email to info@mytapu.com and ask for 'Permit Assessment'. An expert will assess the permit position on the property, answer questions, and provide advice on the solutions available to obtain permits. Regrettably, before the above new regulations were introduced, a very high proportion of properties sold to non-Turkish buyers were without permits.

In recent years the greatest demand for Turkish property from foreign buyers is for citizenship and residency purposes. So under the above mentioned circumstances, if your property is ineligible for purchase by foreign buyers, a seller must find a local Turkish buyer.

If an agent has not reported buying interest for a property, nor has not informed a seller of the above facts, it is likely the agent is also capable of other deceptions and misguidance. Many agents will not accept nor report a buyer’s interest for a property if the price does not include a large hidden profit margin for the agent, above the sales price the seller is expecting to receive.

Local Turkish buyers stopped using agents 10 years ago, and now search for property at the online portals. The portals are not agents websites. Portals all have messaging features that enable direct communication with the selling owner - without any intervention by an agent. Under these circumstances agents also rely on using the online portals as the main source to find buyers. So a seller may choose to save themselves paying thousands to an agent and find a buyer the same way agents do. Sellers wishing to learn more about which portals are best for their property, and the process of listing their property, and communicating with buyers directly at online portals, may obtain this information by emailing info@mytapu.com and ask for Property Portal Listing Services.
