Why choose Orfali Properties
Yes. Foreign nationals are allowed to buy property in Türkiye, including Istanbul, under the 2012 reciprocity law.
However, there are a few exceptions — citizens of certain restricted countries and properties located in military or security zones are not eligible for sale to foreigners.
Foreign buyers can purchase:
- Apartments & penthouses
- Villas & townhouses
- Commercial offices & shops
- Land (with certain restrictions)
- Off-plan and newly built developments
Most investors focus on ready or off-plan apartments in central and emerging districts like Başakşehir, Beylikdüzü, Küçükçekmece, Maslak, Kadıköy, Zeytinburnu, and Kağıthane.
- Strategic location between Europe & Asia
- Fast capital appreciation
- Turkish citizenship & residency opportunities
- Lower prices compared to EU cities
- High rental yields and strong demand
- Modern infrastructure & mega projects (Istanbul Canal, new metro lines, airports)
If all documents are ready, the process usually takes 3–5 working days for ready properties and up to 2–3 weeks for off-plan or citizenship purchases.
- Annual property tax: 0.2% (for residential) or 0.4% (for commercial) of the property’s assessed value
- Rental income tax: 15–40% (progressive rate) — applies only if you rent out your property
- Capital gains tax: payable if you sell within 5 years (exempt after 5 years of ownership)
Yes — if purchased through registered developers with government-approved construction licenses and notary-certified contracts.
Always ensure your payments go through a developer’s official bank account and that the project has a construction guarantee.
