Foreigners started to increase their housing purchases in Turkey. In January-June 2022, foreigners bought 35 thousand of houses in Turkey. This means more than 70% compared to the period of last year. The reasons for increased demand are due to various reasons , such as the military operation in Ukraine, the fluctuations in the Turkish lira, and the ability to obtain Turkish citizenship in the purchase of real estate. Turkey's most popular regions to buy housing are Istanbul, Antalya , and Ankara. While Istanbul meets almost half of this demand, Antalya comes right after it.   Why Foreigners Prefer Antalya The warm climate of the Mediterranean region, the fact that life in Antalya is cheaper than in Istanbul, that it offers a pleasant life, and that there are many profitable options in terms of housing investment make Antalya among the most popular choices. Real Estate Market in Alanya The real estate market in Alanya has formed not so long ago, so most of the offers here are moder...

Summer of 2022 - what you need to know about the property market! Over the last year or so we have seen a favorable trend for properties in Alanya. Buyers are showing great interest in investing in the area in and around Alanya, and the sellers can now get prices that they could only dreamt of a few years back. So there is definitely an upwards trend and good opportunities when it comes to properties in Alanya. However, the situation also calls for a bit of caution because with upsides also comes possibly pitfalls for the inexperienced. So let us take a look at how things stand now. Why have prices gone up? Since the spring of 2021 we started to see a positive inflow of new customers and interest from all parts of the world. This positive trend continued into 2022 and the sad events in Ukraine only amplified this. Currently prices and market interest have reached a peak level that we have not seen for years. Be aware of low offers Unfortunately, we see that some estate agents, caretak...

  In Turkey, the title deed of a property is called "tapu senedi" or simply "tapu."   When purchasing a property, this is the most important document since it proves the ownership of the property.   We also want to point out very clearly that the printed version of the deed does not hold any other value than the paper it has been published on. So the printed version of the title deed is more considered a diploma.   Even if someone you do not trust gets hold of the printed version of your title deed, you don't have to worry.   Recently the layout of the printed title deed has changed, and in this blog post , we will talk about these changes.   First of all, a QR code has been introduced. By scanning it, you can access the location and features of the property on a map.   Also, biometric photographs are now used on title deeds.   Let's go over the five sections of the new deed to make everything easier to understand.   1: Plot information In th...

  In Turkey issuing a power of attorney is very common and used for a variety of situations such as purchasing or selling a property or car, to have a lawyer or accountant represent you or other circumstances where you need or want a 3rd party to represent you. Issuing a power of attorney is easy and fast with many authorized notary offices in every city.  But what about recalling and cancelling a power of attorney? How is that done and most importantly, when should it be done? Lets take a look at this... Generally speaking only a very small fractions of all issued power of attorneys in Turkey are being recalled since they do not pose a risk to the principal. As an example you can provide your car dealer with a power of attorney, so that the car dealer can transfer the ownership of the car to your name and issue the license plates. The risk that the car dealer will abuse this power of attorney by purchasing additional cars in your name is probably very low since that would mak...

A few minor updates have recently been made to our website. Many of them are not directly visible since they have to do with what goes on behind the scenes of the website, so to speak. Luckily there are also a few changes that can be seen :-) Among other things it is now possible to see only the units that have a video presentation.  This is done by selecting "Properties with video" or "Complexes with video" in the main menu under "Search property". Also our "About Us" page containing information about our history as 2Base and who we are has been updated. Among other things, we have been searching our photo archive and found some nice, old photos. So check out the updates and the photos starting from way back when our company was first founded.

A new rule regarding the purchase of real estate in Turkey has seen the light of day. The rule means that buyer when applying for the title deed transfer must enclose a so-called “exchange certificate”, which documents that the public evaluation value of the property has been exchanged from foreign currency into Turkish lira. The certificate is issued by the Turkish banks and must be handed in at the local land registry office along with all other required documents related to the transfer of the title deed. In practical terms, this means that the buyer of a property in a Turkish bank account must exchange the registration value from foreign currency - typically Euro or Dollar - to Turkish lira. The bank then issues the exchange certificate which is then submitted along with all other documents. There are still some ambiguities about this process, but below we will explain the two most common scenarios for you as a buyer. Likewise, we will answer some of the most frequently asked quest...

A new year has gotten off to a good start and times flies all by itself. The year has started just as busy as it ended. Those who thought that the time around the month of Christmas and new year would be calm with time to eat cookies, relax and tie up loose ends where mistaken. So yes, we were mistaken... We thought that December would be the perfect month to do a smaller renovation of our office. As mentioned, it turned out not to be correct, and what was supposed to be 10 days of working from home while the office would be closed, turned out to be two weeks with customers in the messy of construction work. In the end everything worked out just fine and customers, partners and our proficient staff all understood the situation. Especially a big "thank you" goes out to the latter, who always do their absolute best and solve any issue that they encounter. The reason we started a renovation at our office is working space. We are extending our team and that requires space for add...
