Mortgage in Turkey for Foreigners

If you are in search of financing the purchase of your new property in Turkey, you can get a mortgage from a Turkish bank. In the Turkish mortgage system, the banks provide long-term loans to their customers for up to 75% of the property value. The banks’ mortgage loan terms range from 12 months to 240 months. To add, foreign buyers and investors choose USD or Euro currencies that are more advantageous than TL since it contains inflation rates.

Getting a Mortgage in Turkey for a Foreigner

In general, getting a loan for a foreigner may be complicated in Turkey because of a lack of knowledge and communication gaps, and the process can fail. At this point, Consultant Cabin assists in your credit application process after you have chosen the property you want to buy.

Before applying for credit, you should prepare all required documents that are in the following;

  • Passport and Notary Translation
  • Tax ID number
  • Proof of your address. Valid documents include a Residence permit, an ID card, or utility bill that shows your address and name. Electricity, water, internet, and gas utility bills are the most commonly used.
  • Proof of your monthly income
  • Bank statement showing your account activities in the last three months
  • Title Deed of the aim property

The process starts with opening a bank account, and then you are ready to apply for credit. After the application, the bank sends you a “preliminary approval” approximately three or four days later. In the following of this approval, a valuation appraiser will analyze your property value when you pay the appraisal report fee. According to the property’s valuation report, you may get up to 50% credit as a foreign buyer. After the final approval, the title deed conveyance process can begin, and you can move in. On the other hand, you should note that the Turkish banks will only approve if the property has no existing debt attached.

As an alternative way, you can benefit from the construction companies’ offers to buy an apartment in Turkey. Many construction companies in Turkey offer 0% interest in long-term payment plans on off-plan or newly-constructed properties. Repayment terms differ from 12 to 60 months. These are suitable for all types of buyers from the age of 25 to 70 years old since you do not need to buy appraisal costs, pay interest, or fill in lengthy amounts of paperwork. (Click here to buy property in Turkey with profitable installment options)
