I will certainly recommend mytapu to anyone I meet looking for conveyancing help.' KG Kas & Swindon KG has had a villa in this coastal region for many years and when selling, preferred to do so remotely, without travelling to Turkiye, and so required a complete service bundle to complete the transaction securely.

Your First Potential Buyer - A Private Conversation

  • Having difficulty finding a buyer ? There is one potential buyer which should always be approached. This buyer may have a specific vested  financial interest in purchasing your property. a seller seeking a fast sale or an advantageous sale, should always approach this buyer first.
  • Interested in selling but concerned about paying the capital gains tax because you understated the purchase price on the Tapu ? There is a specific way of dealing with this that is not public information, and there is also a solution that is public information but never discussed (taboo) .
  • Both the above are subjects not discussed publicly and so private discussion with an Advisor is required. Telegram Messenger and Rakusen Viber are the channels with acceptable privacy security, so please download one of these Apps and then email info@mytapu.com to schedule and appointment with an Advisor.

A Faster, Smarter, and Better Way  

The Key to Successful Investment

Presuming knowledge and experience gained from other countries is applicable in Turkiye - is the single largest cause for investment failure. Differences in law, land registry practices, tax, accounting, banking,  cultural and especially local business practices, do impact investment results. The key is to prevent years of troubles, before buying... All successful investors apply a fundamental discipline that is The Key ingredient of success... 

What Investors Say About Us

Investment in residential property in Turkey by International Buyers has been permitted beginning in 2007. Since that time My Tapu Associates have served more than three thousand investors with the advice needed to avoid typical dangers and make their investment a success... See what insights Investors share about buying and selling property in Turkiye, and the value of our Independent Professional Advisory Services (not real estate commission services) here.

Who is Your Buyer...? Why is knowing the 'buyer profile' an important first step for a seller...?


During the last few years since 2020 there has been a steady flow of new regulations and restrictions governing land registry procedures about:

  • The types of properties that can be sold; 
  • The types of buyers that are eligible; 
  • The location of properties...


With an understanding of these restrictions, a seller may understand better their buyers' profile.....


So in these circumstances MyTapu Associates advise sellers on the smartest choices available for selling their property;

  • Buyer Profile; 
  • Sales Channels;
  • Price Strategy;
  • Procedures, engagement, documents, payments, settlement, conveyance, closing & completion, representation authorization, commissions, expenses, etc 


For example, a non-Turkish seller of property in Turkiye would benefit from finding a channel for finding Turkish buyers.... because non-Turkish citizenship and residency buyers ( a sizeable proportion of total foreign buyers)  are restricted from purchasing a property owned by a non-Turkish seller. In addition, a seller of a property in Turkey needs to know if their property has full permits, because if it doesn’t, it can not be purchased by a non-Turkish buyer. These scenarios cover most property purchases by foreigners in Turkiye over recent years, but regulations have now changed, and to also include location restrictions. 


 To sell, it is essential to know these details about the Foreign and Turkish buyers eligible for a purchase… read more here…

Why MyTapu Website Attracts Real Buyers

Our website serves intelligent, serious, property investors & buyers…

 

…..that have made the decision to buy, and next need to know the specific insights necessary to avoid risks. For example, new buyers use search terms like ‘buy property in Turkey’ – the search results provided show all the shark agents that prey on un-informed foreign buyers… 

 

For buyers that have learned a little and are better informed...

 

…they use search terms like 'How, Where, When, Why ...to do specific transactional actions  etc These are REAL buyers that are taking REAL  steps in the buying process. This is where MyTapu web pages and blog articles appear at the top or on first page of search results.

 

These are the REAL buyers taking Next Steps…

 

…by informing themselves by reading specific articles and web pages about specific aspects of the buying procedure. 

 

The results shown in the Table are for these only…  

There are additional pages & articles they read (not included in the numbers in the table), for factual, accurate information about prices, new regulations, taxes, legal services, mortgage finance, valuations, insurance etc 

  

How to Show These Real Buyers to Your Property ?

A Key step is to allow buyers to discover your property and then direct them to contact you . 


Giving your property visibility from buyers is done by placing a promo image of your property on the Newsletter and on the website pages for:  

  •  . 
  •  

    ….of MyTapu.com , like the other selling owners have done. These images allow buyers to discover your property themselves as they read through information guiding them with insights on the steps to buy property in Turkiye.  The discovery process is more self reassuring than being ‘sold’ property by an agent (because agents have such un-trustworthy reputations that Turks do not use them).

     

    Interested buyers are then directed to the link to your property on a portal (MyTapu assists sellers with this).

     

    This combination is a far more comprehensive and effective way…

    … to sell than using an agent and their website. This way a seller also avoids commissions and the profiteering practices of pocketing hidden mark-ups.

    How to Begin ?

    • Send the property photos (wide angles, details, inside and outside including road frontage etc. – clear shots)
    • If available: tapu scan or details, street postal address, etc so we can include a location map, or any additional details
    • Send them by email to info@mytapu.com (you can add any details but do not need to mention a price or may choose to do so,,, Or use SwissTransfer.com for larger files.

    We’ll review them immediately, prepare a showcase example, and promote it to our buyer list and newsletter. We’ll move quickly if your situation is  urgent situation, or in a planned and scheduled manner, according to a seller’s  instructions !

    The Local Real Estate Market is Digital 


    Turks are using digital portals for finding property for the last ten years, so why use an agent, when there is a better and smarter way...? Welcome to the digital age...!


    Yes, more than 95% of property sales in Turkiye originate from on-line portals, not from agents' storefront windows. When a seller lists their property with the agent, that agent simply lists it on-line at a selection of the 5 portals where the buyers go to find property. The days of waiting for buyers to walk past an agent's window are past- for more than 10 years now ! A seller paying an agent 2% or 3% to find a buyer can save themselves thousands in agents' commissions simply by listing their property on the portal(s) themselves....! And in the process, avoid the agents usual practice of selling for much more than the list price agreed with the seller- a practice known as the 'hidden profit mark-up'.... an additional profit the agent puts in his/her pocket, and the seller never hears about,  sees or receives ('HIDDEN') ... !!! 


    This works well for agents when they completely control communication flow between buyer and seller – the solution is to take agents out of that middleman role. Using the portals achieves this when the seller them-self lists their property directly on the portal, because the buyer communicates directly with the seller via the portals’ online private messaging systems. The messaging system is the key difference – agents’ websites don’t have messaging systems allowing buyers to communicate directly with the seller, which allow agents to practice their ‘hidden profits’ piracy.


    Take control of this process away from the agent and pay yourself a sizeable reward by receiving the true and full sales price of your property.


    If a seller needs support and guidance for listing their property on a portal, a complete ' How to Do-It-Yourself' support service is available from MyTapu... alternatively, MyTapu provides a Managed service to do it for the seller. 


    MyTapu works extensively for international buyers and renters of Turkish property. This work includes sourcing, searching, finding, selecting, and transaction management for the properties, In this work we have extensive experience dealing with agents, and we know exactly what agents actually do, compared with what they promise. Agents are very very ;lax in responding to enquiries, providing information, and often are un-helpful and even obstructive unless they see an opportunity to sell a property and pocket a 'hidden price mark-up'. These are just a few of the reasons local Turks always use on-line portals to sell, which enable direct communication between buyer and seller. 


    Selling property in Turkey is done on portals. These are not agents' websites. These are large on-line market places with hundreds of thousands of properties, very good search engines to help buyers find what they want, and direct messaging systems that enable direct communication between buyers and seller. MyTapu can show you how, or do the work for you- learn more today....

    Do you Trust & Believe what agents say? 


    Turks don’t - why would you ?


    In Turkiye, 84% of adults do not trust other people. 


    However, in fairness to Turks, it should be pointed out that the extreme extent of lying and manipulation by English speaking agents in Turkiye was begun years ago by local English and Irish agents selling Turkish properties to their fellow country men. 


    Over the years this resulted in litigation in the UK and Ireland. The result ? These undesirable practitioners continued their activities by moving their business permanently to Turkiye, where consumer protection and fraud laws were easier to circumvent. 


    Several of these characters continue their businesses to today. Their real estate agency businesses appear in the top internet search engine rankings in English.

    Tax Matters when Selling Property in Turkey

    Owners Alert: Taxes to Be Paid

     

    Transaction Tax: Before selling the property, all taxes must be paid – and that includes the transaction taxes payable arising from understating the declared value on the Tapu at the land registry for less than the real purchase price, at the time of purchase.  Not only is a penalty payable, but also, that tax liability is increasing at 4.5% monthly (54% + yearly)…. the solution is here...

     

    Capital Gains Tax: How to reduce your capital gains tax liability when selling a property before the five year exemption period, if you understated the declared value below the real price at the time of purchase… The solution is here…


    Prior to completing the sale of a property at the land registry in Turkiye, the seller must provide proof of payment of all taxes: a) capital gains taxes b) annual property taxes c) property transfer tax. Under stating the transaction price to reduce transfer tax is likely to result in a tax investigation now new proedures have been applied for assessing values.

    Fewer Foreign Buyers of Turkish Property...

    Foreign buyers of coastal properties are far fewer than in peak days of 2007 to 2017.  The majority of foreign buyers in the market are buyers for Citizenship Investment, and are prohibited from purchasing a property from a foreign owner. IF your agent is telling you differently, it is time to choose an alternative pathway and solution.In addition, recent regulations NOW prohibit citizenship investors from purchasing of property by foreign international, non-Turkish buyers in specific locations (due to foreign density exceeding 20%), and many of these locations are the most sought after and desirable - and are the locations where many foreigners previously purchased and currently own property - meaning if your property is in these locations, your only possibility is to sell to a local Turkish buyer. The primary source of demand for coastal properties is from local Turks moving out of Istanbul and Ankara. Indeed for the first time recorded, more inhabitants moved from Istanbul than into Istanbul. Fortunately a foreign owner can sell a Turkish property and now do so online, in four foreign languages,  without traveling to Turkey, thanks to new systems introduced by the Land Registry Modernisation Program in Turkey. …


    Everything can now be done on-line....

    • Listing on-line at the market places where the buyers are... 
    • Authorising transfer of title deeds...
    • Receiving payment from the land registry direct to the seller’s bank account.. .


    Can all be done without leaving your home country… Buying can be done the same way...


    This blog provides several useful articles for anyone interested in reading more about how local Turks use on-line market places to buy and sell property...


    The Team at myTapu are pleased to advise, guide, assist, and help with Turkish language as required…Email to info@mytapu.com with the subject ‘Selling without Travelling’ for Next Steps ….

    A Faster, Smarter, and Better Way  

    Property Prices in Turkey 2011 to 2025

    Property Prices in Turkiye, expressed in USD or EUR, are generally moving sideways in a range, which can be as much as 15-20%. This has been the situation since the pandemic of early 2020, sending prices lower, followed by global monetary inflation that followed, sending prices higher. After the sharp price declines following 2017, prices of real estate in Turkiye are now generally higher in Dollar and Euro terms, than in 2019, as is the case for global real estate prices, generally.  The actual price increase for specific properties depends on a wide range of factors, which are explained with a specific example in the article about price increases from 2019 to 2025, here.

    Reality Check...

     

    Foreign buyers are recently actively purchasing property in Turkey for Citizenship Investment purposes.

    BUT did you know...? Purchasing property from a foreign owner does NOT qualify for Citizenship Investment, and so they will NOT be buying a property sold by a non-Turkish owner..

    If your agent has told you something different, it's time to move on, with a Smarter, Better Way,  the mytapu.com Way...

    And consider this: as a foreign owner, even if the an agent sells your property to a Turkish person first, before immediately reselling to the Citizenship Investor, the price will still need to be 'marked-up' by 20% - 30% above the sales price the current owner is receiving, in order to cover the Turkish person's capital gains tax.

    ​Türk Vatandaşlığı Yatırım Programı Kapsamında Türk Gayrimenkulünün Yabancı Alıcılarını Nasıl Bulabiliriz?

    Bu Alıcılara Türk Gayrimenkulü Nasıl Satılır?

    Türk vatandaşlığı için gayrimenkul yatırımı yapan yabancı yatırımcılar kimlerdir?

     

    Bu yatırımcılar dünyanın dört bir yanından gelmekte olup, çok çeşitli meslek gruplarına ve iş kollarına mensupturlar.

     

    İkinci pasaport taleplerinin ana motivasyonu, aile fertlerini jeopolitik risk ve belirsizliklere karşı koruma ve güvence altına alma arzusudur.

    Şimdi yabancı gayrimenkul alıcılarının sayısı önceki yıllara göre neden daha az?

    Türk vatandaşlığı yatırım başvurularının onaylanmasındaki artan belirsizliklerle doğrudan ilişkili üç temel neden bulunmaktadır:

    • 2022 yılında belirli semtler ve mülkler için getirilen kısıtlamalar: Vatandaşlık amacıyla gayrimenkul yatırımına izin verilen semt ve mülk türlerine ilişkin 2022’de uygulanan sınırlamalar, yatırımcıların seçtikleri mülkün onaylanmayacağı endişesini artırmıştır. Bu deneyim, günümüzde yatırımcıların mülk seçiminde temkinli davranmasına yol açmaktadır.
    • Mülkün ekspertiz değerlemesinin asgari eşik tutarını karşılayıp karşılamayacağına ilişkin belirsizlik: Gayrimenkulün resmi değerleme raporunun vatandaşlık programı için gereken minimum yatırım tutarını sağlayamayabileceği yönündeki güvensizlik, başvuru sürecini riske atmaktadır.
    • Gayrimenkul acenteleri, avukatlar ve vatandaşlık danışmanlarının satış fiyatlarında büyük oranda açıklanmayan fiyat şişirmelerinden kâr elde ettiğinin artan farkındalığı: Bu tarafların, yatırımcılara karşı yüksek oranda gizli fiyat mark-up’ı uygulayarak aşırı kâr sağladığına dair yaygınlaşan bilgi ve deneyim, güven kaybına ve yatırımcı çekingenliğine neden olmaktadır.

    Yatırımcılar hangi tür gayrimenkulleri aramaktadır? 

    Farklı yatırımcı profillerinin geniş yelpazesi, aynı zamanda gayrimenkul türleri konusunda da çeşitlilik göstermektedir. En yüksek talep gören mülk türleri şunlardır:

    • Kiralama amacıyla alınan daireler (yatırım getirisi odaklı kira getirili apartman daireleri)
    • Güvenli ve lüks yaşam için alınan daireler (yüksek güvenlik standartlarına sahip, prestijli lokasyonlarda bulunan lüks rezidans ve apartman daireleri)

    Türk gayrimenkullerini satın alma kararını nasıl veriyorlar ?

    Karar veremiyorlar. İşte sorun tam da budur.Yukarıda belirtilen üç belirsizlik unsuru, ne açık ne de yaygın olarak bilinen çözümlere veya giderim yollarına sahiptir.Bu nedenle yatırımcılar hangi mülkleri satın alacaklarına karar vermekte zorlanmaktadır.Bu durum, vatandaşlık yatırımı amacıyla gayrimenkul satışlarının şu anda düşük seviyelerde kalmasının temel sebebidir.ox

    Bu Alıcılara Türk Gayrimenkulü Nasıl Satılır ?

    Eskiden kullanılan parlak web siteleri, göz alıcı fotoğraflar ve ikna edici satış konuşmaları yöntemi artık etkili bir şekilde çalışmamaktadır. Yatırımcılar, mevcut risk ve tehlikelerin farkına varmıştır.Haberler hızla yayılmaktadır; çünkü yatırımcılar kendi ülkelerindeki ağlar ve topluluklar aracılığıyla birbirleriyle yoğun bir şekilde iletişim kurmaktadır.


    İlk yatırımcılar, vatandaşlık amacıyla gayrimenkul satın alımlarını üç yıldan daha uzun süre önce gerçekleştirmişlerdir. Şimdi bu mülkleri satmaya çalıştıklarında, piyasa fiyatının kendilerinin ödediği yapay olarak şişirilmiş fiyatın çok altında olduğunu fark etmektedirler.Sebep bildiklerinden, bu bilgiyi kendi aralarında ve ağlarında paylaşmaktadırlar.


    Yeni yatırımcılar, üç temel sorun konusunda kendi ülkelerindeki ağları tarafından önceden uyarılmıştır. Bu yeni yatırımcılara satış yapabilmek için bir müteahhit veya geliştirici, söz konusu üç soruna yönelik somut çözümler sunmak zorundadır. Çözümler sunulduğunda yatırımcılar, gayrimenkul alımlarına yeniden yönelecektir.


    Yatırımcı talebi mevcut ve güçlüdür. Ürün doğru ve etkili bir biçimde sunulduğunda, yatırımcılar satın alma kararını verecektir. Her bir teklif, 5-10 gayrimenkulü kapsayacak şekilde yapılandırılmalıdır. MyTapu Associates, 2007 yılından bu yana Türk gayrimenkul piyasasında sunum çözümleri uygulamakta olup, bu alanda uzun yıllara dayanan uzmanlığını ve tecrübesini sürdürmektedir.


    Türkiye Vatandaşlık Yatırım Programı kapsamında Türk gayrimenkul piyasasındaki yabancı alıcılar şu anda nerededir? 

    Geçmişte pek çok yatırımcı, İngilizce ve Arapça konuşan emlak acenteleri ile vatandaşlık danışmanları kanalları üzerinden gelmekteydi. Bu kanalları kullanan birçok eski yatırımcı, söz konusu üç temel sorunu yaşamıştır.


    Bu nedenle yatırımcılar şu anda oldukça temkinli davranmakta ve netlik beklemektedir. MyTapu Newsletter, bu yatırımcıların 279’u tarafından düzenli olarak okunmaktadır. Üç temel soruna yönelik çözümler sunan bir geliştirici veya müteahhit, mülklerini newsletter aracılığıyla yatırımcılara tanıtma fırsatına sahip olacaktır. Çözümler, her seferinde en az 5-10 gayrimenkule uygulanabilir nitelikte olmalıdır; zira yatırım talebi güçlü bir şekilde mevcuttur.


    MyTapu Associates, gayrimenkul satışını üç temel sorunu çözecek şekilde paketlemenin ve yapılandırmanın nasıl yapılacağını bilmektedir. 2007 yılından bu yana Türkiye'de yabancı yatırımcılar için konut gayrimenkulü alanında bu yaklaşımı uygulamaktayız. Ocak 2026'da, web sitemizin mülk satın alma sayfalarına 674 yeni yabancı alıcı ulaşmıştır. Bunlar gerçek alıcılardır; bir acentenin gösterişli web sitesindeki güzel fotoğraflara yalnızca göz atan kişiler değil. Web sitemizde güzel fotoğraflar bulunmamakta; yalnızca Türkiye'deki gayrimenkul işlemlerini 30 yıldan fazla süredir yönetme deneyiminden gelen profesyonel tavsiyeler yer almaktadır. Alıcılar, bu makaleleri okuyarak dikkatli sonraki adımları nasıl atacaklarını bilgilendirmekte ve bilinçli kararlar vermektedir.


    MyTapu.com web sitesinin Ocak 2026 ayı toplam sayfa görüntüleme sayısı 18.000'dir; 2025 yılı Ekim, Kasım ve Aralık aylarının toplamı 38.000; 2025 yılı tamamı 111.000; 2024 yılı ise 85.000 olarak gerçekleşmiştir.
