Where is the best Place to Buy an Apartment in Turkey?
It is difficult to answer which region of the country is the best for buying an apartment because it all depends on the wishes of the client. But there is a lot of information on the web which can help you make your choice of town or city.
Alanya is a combination of a busy centre and tranquil areas. The great location by the sea attracts many buyers as you can purchase apartments that are 200-500 m from the beach. Alanya is a popular tourist destination, so the city has a lot of attractions to visit (castle area, Syedra, Sapodere Canyon to name a few), clubs and restaurants. An additional advantage for buyers is that there are two airports nearby, i.e.. transfers to the town do not take much time.
One is 45 minutes away in Gazipasa and the other approximately 2 hours away in Antalya.
Antalya is in the south of Turkey with great natural beauty, sandy beaches and the sea. The city has historical sites and attractions. Also, an international airport is only 10 km from the central part of Antalya.

For example, you can buy 1 + 1 apartments with an area of 60 m² for 65,000 € or an apartment of 222 m² in an elite residential complex for 235,000 €.
In Kemer, as in the other resort cities in Turkey, there is beautiful nature, mountains, beaches and the sea. Those who like hot summers choose this region. Also, Kemer is only 40 km from Antalya and the international airport. These two benefits attract property buyers.
The port city of Bodrum, is located on the Aegean coast, has mild winters and hot summers. There are a large variety of homes on the property market: you can buy an 85 m² apartment for 50,000 € or a more substantial 180 m² villa in 4 + 1 duplex format for 440,000 €.

Terms and Conditions of Buying a Property
Buying a property in Turkey consists of several steps:
- Choice of region and type of housing
- Closure of a deal
- Tapu registration.
To search for an apartment, villa or house, you can contact our company directly or you can peruse our extensive website.
At the 2nd stage, it is essential to consider several points:
- To reserve your favourite apartment before buying, you can make a deposit, the size of which is agreed individually, on average it is from 1000 €, depending on the value of the apartment.
- Is important to consider that if you change your mind, our company is one of the very few who will refund your deposit or we can offer you an alternative property.
- During the transaction, additional costs are possible; for example, for translation services, photographs, and implementation of a power of attorney. Working with us, we provide all these services for you completely free of charge.
A contract is concluded between the buyer and the seller, detailing, the sale, value of the property, amount of deposit and an interest-free payment schedule in installments for the remaining debt.
After the entire amount is transferred to the seller, the client must issue the TAPU, i.e.. title of ownership, which confirms the rights of the owner of the property. Also, sometimes with some unique properties, you can arrange a TAPU (the title of deeds) after making advance payment for the apartment and become its owner immediately. Still, the liability will only be complete after full payment of the entire amount.
Thus, when buying a home in Turkey, there are many essential points to be considered.
For security and simplification of the transaction at all stages, you can contact our company for help.
