Turkish investment potential

The geographic position of the country has an important strategic impact, which, among other things, contributes to an increase in the amount of  the purchases of real estate. In this regard, most investors buy property because of the following reasons:

• commercial investment or opening a branch of your company;
• personal residence;
• obtaining Turkish citizenship.

Turkish citizenship obtained through investment provides owners with many benefits: it facilitates their movement between countries, simplifies business negotiations inside and outside the country.

The real estate sector in Turkey is also one of the fastest growing compared to other countries in the world. In this country, thanks to a transparent economy and legislation, there is a significant advantage over other states. It also provides a safe environment where investors can buy and sell property with confidence.

A foreign investor looking to buy property in the country can find several options ranging from studio apartments to luxury villas in the new, resale or off-plan housing market.

The daily Turkish newspaper Habertürk provides several facts that demonstrate the current situation in the housing market:

2. Real estate prices vary from city to city and differ depending on the type of property.
3. All Turkish cities also experience an annual increase in property prices, which varies by city.
4. The same applies to rent. Its size may vary depending on the area in which the property is located, its technical characteristics and area.
