Very good imformation I am moving to Turkey in September with my wife and two kids ,I have had a property in Turkey for many years and have seen massive increases in the price of land ,my biggest mistake financially was not listen to a estate agent when I first went to Turkey when he said buy land now instead of property and in ten years or so you will get more than 20 times your money back ,the only thing he got wrong was it was double his estimation j
There you go, land is definitely a good investment but only if done in the right locality. I hope you can make the right choice this time around :) Text me if you’re looking for land in Antalya: wa.me/+905369565130
Awesome man.... great job. The thing I liked about the earthquake issue (fault-line) proximity map.... as I am basically geologist... therefore, I can guess the importance of this....
Another great video brother! Thank you for these detailed videos! Just wanted to ask, where is that beach in your intro? I am coming to Antalya in February and would love to go there In Shaa Allah
Wonderful, clear information. Thank you. Can you please clarify if you are allowed to build a farm house on unzoned land? You mentioned a snippet when you mentioned the road access. Also, do you need prior permission to change land from a crop to an orchard?
There are certain requirements you need to meet to build a farm house, it’s usually a small percentage of the total land area. Please get in touch for detailed info: wa.me/+905369565130
Well done. Excellent information. I am about to buy zoned land Ada of a total of 2000 sq Meters with 4 parcels, may I just build only 1 vill on say 300 meters? would the municipality force me to build the rest of the land?
You may request to join the parcels together under one, then you may only require to submit building plans for one villa and that should be fine. Again other details need to be reviewed, please get in touch with me wa.me/+905369565130
Hi! Thanks so much for these videos, they're very informative and helpful. With the tl dropping against the dollar quite quickly, do you think land/property in Turkey will increase in value enough to keep up with the drop of the lira against the dollar? ie - Do you think if someone buys land for "x" USD, they would be able to get that back in 10 years time? Thanks for any insight you have!!!
Yes for sure! In USD terms the real estate sector in Turkey in major cities like Istanbul and Antalya are doing great. Investors who bought 2-3 years ago are seeing their property value increase by 50-70% easily. If you buy land for x USD you can be quite confident you’ll get a decent return on the land in 10 years time. It’s a developing country with lots of potential, young growing population, and I personally believe your investment will grow quite a bit over time :) *ps- this is not financial advice*
You would need to look for Tarla, but it would need to be above 5000m2 and satisfy certain conditions to be able to build a house on it, and also the house cannot exceed certain size, based on the land.
Please clarify that if we purchase the land let say $100000 for warehouse and put the money $ 150000 on construction of it , how we justify that we invested $250000 on whole project as requirements of residence visa is $250000
This is possible through having us build this for you under contract, then we can sell it to you for $250k. It will require some paperwork but can be done. Other option is to buy land worth $250k and it is more straightforward.
@@ThinkTurkey Good point. Can I buy a land of 250K value and then obtain the citizenship, then sell partial portion of land while building a house on the rest of it?
I am thinking retiring in Turkey. I want to buy a small house with a large garden. I want to grow veggies and fruit trees as well raising some chickens, goats, etc… I don’t want to do this for commercial purposes, but just for hobby. My question, is this allowed in zoned land ? Are foreigners allowed to do this kind of activities? If yes, can would you please describe the process and constraints to do this. Thanks
When it comes to growing veggies, fruits, no issues there. But with animals you may face some constraints, and it varies on the area/locality if you can have some animals also on your grounds or not. Send me a msg and we can discuss some options for you when you're ready: wa.me/+905369565130
Sorry if I missed it in the video, but where exactly can I search up places to buy land. Is there a trustworthy website, or can we contact you? Thanks for the content
Very helpful information ! Thank you! So are you a realtor in Antalya? I will need you service when l travel to Turkey . What city do you think would be the best for USA expats?
Thanks for your feedback! Our team provides real estate consultancy services in both Istanbul and Antalya. If you like warm weather, Mediterranean region will be ideal, otherwise Istanbul.
Dear Sir, you said that you must declare to the government what you do in your land, is this also for ARSA (500 to 1000 square meters ) which you want to build a villa?
Thank you so much for breaking the mixed information we keep getting into understandable points . Can you please also explain( in video preferably ) are the rules same for Turks and foreigners? I believe foreigners can buy limited mount of land . I have also heard stories like Turks are allowed to build villas but foreigners are not . So there is mixed and confusing information regarding the matter , For foreigners like us who wants to start a self sufficient homestead.
Thanks for your feedback and good to hear some questions coming in. I will try to answer them as best I can. Rules are different for land ownership for Turks and foreigners. There is a limit for foreigners however for most land owners this limit doesn't affect them (due to it being a very large limit). Some regions it's also restricted to buy certain types of land, so varies from region to region and needs to be investigated independently depending on the Municipality that you are buying land in. Also as I mentioned the 2 year rule, need to be declared what the land will be used for by submitting the project to relevant ministry. I will expand more on this in future videos isA.
Can you finance using foreign credit scores? My wife is Turkish but doesn’t have credit history in Turkey but has high score in America. Any option for us to finance through a transnational bank?
Hi, very informative video. Can you also make a video giving your viewers a good idea about farmlands where prices very reasonable and good value for future. Thanks
This is a bit more complicated than it looks and has become a bit more tricky if you don't already have a residence permit. If you are already living in Turkey with permit, then we can look into it for you.
Most info is not available on official websites unfortunately, and even if it is only in Turkish, and even in Turkish deeply hidden so even the average Turk cannot get to it. It's a good suggestion tho, so I will try to get the official sources and when I do will update links in description isA
@@ThinkTurkey thank you . Even if it’s in Turkish , sharing will help . We are learning the language and even people can use translation to understand at least some of it . You are right about rules not being clear, someone told me that they don’t make clear rules so they can play around it politically. 🤷🏻♀️
@@urooj17 check description, I have added the official guide from MFA Turkey. Apart from that, you can also try searching for "yabancılar arsa alabilir mi" and you will find lots of articles in Turkish on this topic. Hope that helps!
Yes but I believe there is a limit of 2 years then you have to take it back. Or you have to pay or deposit the tax value for the car. I'll be researching this and making a video in the near future.
I would be careful also of type of car you bring, even if it is Honda Civic which is widely used in Turkey but it is not EU Standard so spare parts will not be the same. For Americans, it's better to buy yhd car from Europe and drive it into Turkey with documents that you are Aldo resident of that European country so Turkish authorities allow you to let the car in for 2 years.
Perhaps the most articulate, no nonsense youtuber. Excellent, informative videos.
Thanks so much! You sir get it 😎
Dude, thanks! I mean it. I am a Turkish citizen and I even don't know half of these stuff. Funny thing, many Turkish real estate agents don't neither.

What about if you want to farm and build a farm house ? What type of zoning would this be ?
You would need to look for Tarla, but it would need to be above 5000m2 and satisfy certain conditions to be able to build a house on it, and also the house cannot exceed certain size, based on the land.
Please clarify that if we purchase the land let say $100000 for warehouse and put the money $ 150000 on construction of it , how we justify that we invested $250000 on whole project as requirements of residence visa is $250000

Not right now imo, as that area is still developing slowly. I suggest buying in Buyukcekmece right now

In theory yes, but you have to be careful it meets the guidelines and is built to code

Nice video, what if you buy an apartment from a building, do you also own a piece of the land where the building is built?
You jointly own the land with the other owners of the apartments in the building. You can make decisions about it together as a committee.
❤❤❤thanks bro
Does the 2 year rule that you mentioned apply to everyone (i.e citizens, foreigners, resident permit holders)
As a Turkish citizen, I've never heard about it before. That info needs some clarification.
Dear Sir, you said that you must declare to the government what you do in your land, is this also for ARSA (500 to 1000 square meters ) which you want to build a villa?
Yes you need to declare within 2 years your intention of building/project to the relevant authorities.

Can a US citizen bring a car to turkey if planning to live there?
Yes but I believe there is a limit of 2 years then you have to take it back. Or you have to pay or deposit the tax value for the car. I'll be researching this and making a video in the near future.
