Bigist Invest's expertise was decisive for my investment decision. The information I had from independent research was inadequate; once I started working with the team we secured the right opportunity quickly.

Why Invest with Us
Property Investment Opportunities in Istanbul
Finding the right property in Turkey takes more than comparing prices. Location, property type, rental demand and your own goal all decide whether a purchase works. With projects on each side of the Bosphorus, we help international buyers compare apartments, residences and villas and check each one before they pay. Investors can begin with investment property in Turkey, and families planning a second passport with Turkish citizenship by investment. We also set up companies in Turkey and manage property for owners who live abroad.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions international buyers ask about Turkey real estate, the buying process and citizenship.
How can I obtain Turkish citizenship through real estate investment?
By buying qualifying property that an official valuation report puts at USD 400,000 or more, and committing not to sell it for three years, you become eligible to apply for Turkish citizenship together with your spouse and children under 18, subject to legal requirements and official approval. The whole process usually takes around 6 to 9 months, and you do not have to live in Turkey at any stage.
What does Bigist Invest do?
Bigist Invest is an Istanbul-based real estate consultancy for international buyers. We list property for sale in Istanbul, advise on Turkey real estate as an investment, coordinate the legal checks and the title deed transfer, support citizenship and residence permit applications, and manage the property after the purchase.
Can foreigners buy property in Turkey?
Yes. People from most countries can own apartments, villas, commercial units and land in Turkey. The title deed (tapu) is registered in your own name at the land registry, which gives you full ownership rights.
What additional costs should I expect when buying a property?
Beyond the purchase price, allow for a title deed fee of 4% on the declared price (split equally between buyer and seller in law, but usually settled by the buyer), compulsory earthquake insurance (DASK), the valuation report, notary and translation fees, and utility connection charges. We provide a transparent cost breakdown for every property before you commit.
Can the purchase be completed without travelling to Turkey?
Yes. With a power of attorney issued through a Turkish consulate or notary, our legal team can handle the entire process on your behalf — from due diligence and signing to title deed registration.
Is buying property in Turkey a good investment?
It can be, depending on your goals. In 2026, Central Bank data shows new rents rising faster than house prices, and demand in Istanbul, Antalya and Izmir is supported by a large population, tourism and international buyers. Returns depend on location, purchase price and currency movements, so compare projects carefully. Qualifying purchases can also make you eligible to apply for Turkish citizenship.
What after-sales services do you provide?
We support you after the purchase with property management, rental services, furnishing packages, utility registrations, residence permit applications and resale assistance — so your investment keeps working for you.
Can foreigners buy property in Turkey without a residence permit?
Yes. Foreign nationals do not need to hold a Turkish residence permit as a precondition for purchasing eligible property in Turkey. The purchase must still comply with applicable ownership rules and procedures.
What types of property can foreigners buy in Turkey?
Apartments, residences, villas, shops, offices and land can all be bought by foreign nationals. The limits are on location and size: military and security zones are closed, one person may hold up to 30 hectares nationwide, and foreign ownership is capped at 10% of the private land in a district.
How much does it cost to buy property in Turkey?
In our Istanbul listings, starting prices run from USD 90,000 to USD 2.3 million, and half of the projects start at USD 300,000 or less (10 November 2026). Beyond the price itself, allow for the 4% title deed fee and for valuation, insurance, translation and legal costs.
Can I buy multiple properties in Turkey for citizenship?
Yes. One citizenship file may rest on several properties, provided the combined investment and the other requirements are met.
Which Istanbul districts are best for buying property?
It depends on budget and purpose. For steady tenant demand, look at central Besiktas, Sisli and Kadikoy. Families who want more space for the money usually choose Basaksehir or Beylikduzu, and the lowest entry prices on our books are in Esenyurt and Kucukcekmece.
