Property in Turkey | Mortgages in Turkey

It is now possible for non-Turkish citizens to get mortgages in Turkey for their property in Turkey, providing they are entitled to buy property there. The Turkish Property market is booming and around 17,000 British investors already own property in Turkey. The Independent's Laura Howard recently named Turkey as the number one location to purchase a home abroad (Mar 08).

The method used to buy an overseas property very much depends on individual circumstances and often requires financing. The system for mortgages in Turkey is in its infancy having only been recently established.  However, even at this relatively early stage there are a variety of financial products available both in the UK and in Turkey.

There are a number of companies offering mortgages in Turkey.  Below are some examples, there are some variations but it will give you an idea of what you can expect.

Top 5 tips for mortgages:

1. Be careful! If you need a mortgage to pay for a property in Turkey, don’t put a deposit down on a property until you have the offer in place. There are a number of companies that offer off plan mortgages in Turkey, some as much as 100%. If you are thinking about applying for such a mortgage, good advice is to speak to someone that has gone through the process with the company so you can check before you commit.
   
   
2. You will notice the terms Loan to Value/Loan to Appraisal. There is a difference between the two.
   
   LTV = the percentage relationship between the amount of the loan and the appraised value, not the sales price. It is not uncommon for the appraised value to be 20% lower than the sales price.
   
   
3. There are two different types of mortgages in Turkey. Off-Plan and Built. Off-plan property is property that is for sale before it is built.  This can be cheaper for the buyer than purchasing re-sale or completed property in Turkey.
   
   
4. Remember - overseas mortgages are a specialised field and can take some time to implement. It is advised you get independent advice from an expert on mortgages in Turkey.
