Before you buy

Buying property in Istanbul as a foreigner is straightforward, but it pays to know the steps and the costs first. Start with the buying process and property taxes, and if citizenship is part of your plan, read Turkish Citizenship by Investment.

After you buy

We stay with you after the title deed. We handle the citizenship application and the residence permit, can furnish your home, and, if you are buying to rent out, find the tenant and collect the rent. For legal or tax questions, we introduce you to the lawyer and the accountant we work with.
