The Turkish Mortgage Experts

The mortgage finance experts at mytapu.com are truly the Turkish Mortgage Experts.

  • Capable of delivering creative and innovative financing solutions in Turkey, generally considered 'impossible' (see below). 


The best mortgage finance / real estate finance solutions delivered in Turkey over the preceding 20 years (even prior to the introduction of mortgage law in 2007) are shown below, and clearly show the considerable value-added calibre of our expertise.


Best Residential Mortgage Finance delivered:  EUR 5.4% at 93% Loan to Value for 20 year loan term.

Turkish Lira Weakness:  Investors with an understanding of foreign exchange markets ...enquire today about how a high interest rate Turkish LIra mortgage may prove to be a smart financial decision, that 'pays an investor' to buy and own real estate....


Citizenship Investors  ... consider techniques for better utilizing capital employed for your Citizenship applications and improving your returns on $400,000 real estate or $500,000 investment fund purchases, Shariah compliant.


Obtaining a mortgage in Turkey as a foreigner is NOT the same as obtaining a mortgage as a local Turkish citizen, everything is different. If you are definitely a buyer of real estate in Turkey and require finance, don't prevaricate imagining you will succeed 'shopping the market' by doing web searches on the internet. Most of the information you will find is inaccurate, out of date, over simplified, or otherwise misleading. Turkish residential mortgage finance for the best products available to non-Turks, with better lending terms, is not simple and statements that claim otherwise, decisions in principle, etc etc  are either misinformed or intentionally misleading. The difference in mortgage lending terms on a EUR 50,000 mortgage loan over a 15 year term can easily amount to more than EUR 5,000 over the life of the loan.  The mortgage system in Turkey has adapted the same English words but much is different... and there-in are the risks. The reason is because the property regulatory processes in Turkey are only slowly becoming standardized to the stage that exists in developed western economies, and there still remain an extensive range of Idiosyncrasies and 'exceptions to the rule'. Get to grips with the issues in detail at the very first step of the procedure to ensure the risks do not come back to cause the last minute failure of your mortgage finance and property purchase.

Obtain the key insights required to ensure success of a mortgage application; insights that are not available on the internet, and often not available from lenders until a very late stage of the application procedure, when a failed mortgage application can result in stress, costs, and losses.  Contact us today for more information at info@mytapu.com  and include your Telegram or WhatsApp number to receive a call back…

Following Safer, Smarter, Better Buying Procedures Reduces Costs..

The key points about ‘what’ it means to ‘Buy Like a Local’, and ‘why’ it is essential, are explained independently, by an outside commentator, and lifelong property investment professional, in this article discussing ‘The Guide, How to Buy Property in Turkey’…

Residential Mortgage Terms

Application Documents Required:

a) Proof of Identification
b) Proof of Current Address
c) Proof of Repayment Capacity (Income) :  Credit Limit
d) Proof of Security (Property Value) : Loan Limit

Different lenders will require different documents to satisfy the requirements above. 


All mortgage products require all of the above: there are no exceptions. If you have been told differently, you have been misinformed and / or mislead.

Variations on the documentation required for a specific applicant's case will depend on:

a) the applicants country of income earning residency

b) the specific lender's credit policy

Loan Limits range from 50% to 85% of Appraised Value- this is an official Appraisal, an Eksper Rapor. Obtaining greater than 85% of appraised value is a technique that requires additional contractual and appraisal expertise and is not viable for purchases less than EUR 300,000.


The Loan Limit of the mortgage applicable is generally never more than 90% of the properties liquidation value, as assessed by the lender's Appraisal Report. This Loan to Value (LTV) varies from lender to lender. These are key risks requiring full disclosure.

Fixed, Tracker, Currency Indexed,  and Floating Rate mortgages are available.


Loan Durations range from minimum 3 years to maximum 20 years, but not beyond the 75th birthday of eldest joint applicant.

 

Mortgage Products available for Turkey generally fall into three main categories:

Local Domestic Mortgages- the loan is in Turkish Lira and the interest rates have never been less than 9% and currently range from 20-28% (Jan 2019). If you see a mortgage advertised with a rate of 2.5%, that means 2.5% per month, not per year...(!!!)

Sharia Compliant Mortgages - there is a wide range of sharia compliant home funding products available on the market in Turkey, including products where a home buyer may select their term, repayment amount etc.. If you are seriously interested in a Sharia product then you will not care to compare the interest rates on conventional products to the Sharia products...

Cross Border Mortgages- these are conventional mrotgage loans by lenders in USD, EUR, GBP, etc and normally a borrowers income must be received outside of Turkey in the currency of the loan, the interest rates are the most favourable available.


The  best residential mortgage interest rates range from 5% to 7% per year in EUR, USD and GBP,  and the advertised rates do not conform to any AER or APR convention- which means they may not be reflecting a truly compunded interest rate, or an interest rate that includes costs of loan arrangement etc.


Early Repayment Charges are typcially 2% for the first 3-5 years and zero afterwards.


Arrangement Fees are typcially 2% with a minimum of EUR / GBP 1500.


Residents of the UK, The Netherlands, and Germany benefit from preferential mortgage products.

List of Turkish Mortgages...

The List of three general categories of mortgage available to foreigners buying Turkish property:

1) Local domestic mortgages- usually loans in Lira
2) Cross-border mortgages- loans in EUR, USD, GBP at favorable interest rates
3) Sharia compliant funding- loans in Lira but with many alternatives possible

How Much Can be Borrowed?

Understanding how much an investor can borrow requires two calculations: the first for the Credit Limit, based on income; and the second for the Loan Limit, based on the property value. Credit Limits typically will be limited by a monthly repayment no greater than 50% of the monthly net income, as a general guideline, while varying from lender to lender in the formula applied.  Loan Limits range from 50% of Appraised Value to 85% of Liquidation Value, depending on each lender's policies.



Mortgage Service Offerings...

A complete range of services is available from mytapu.com. Unlike more developed markets, mortgage lending in Turkey is relatively new, and  sometimes will require additional remedial actions to keep the application process on track. 


Cross border mortgage financing has far more advantageous interest rates and borrowing terms, but the procedure is not so simple or fast.

Anyone telling differently is either inexperienced or intentionally misleading. 


In addition, the mortgage terms offered change often, with economic fluctuating conditions in Turkey, and 95% of the mortgage information you read about on the internet is 'out of date'. 


For these reasons mytapu.com provide a mortgage service that is designed specifically for the challenges facing foreign mortgage applicants for local Turkish property.



Service Levels...

Fully Managed... from A to Z, application through to registration of the mortgage on the property at the land registry... all you need do is provide required documentation...


Guidance and Assistance... the applicant manages the process directly with the lender, and mytapu.com guides and assists both lender and applicant through-out the process at the different stages where solutions are required...


Advisory... the applicant undertakes the entire procedure themselves and mytapu.com has no communication with the lender, but provides all necessary advice and insights to the applicant on the ways to achieve the finance required...
