Property in Ankara

Real estate in Ankara often undeservedly remains in the shadow of Istanbul. Some mistakenly believe that Istanbul is the capital. However, Ankara is the official administrative heart and center of Turkish statehood. It is the country’s second-most populous metropolis, attracting diplomats, government officials, and students from prestigious universities. Our international real estate agency Umbrella Group helps buyers select reliable projects directly from leading developers in installments. We ensure full legal security by conducting a deep audit of every property in the Turkish capital.

Features of the Ankara Real Estate Market

The capital market develops according to its own laws, focusing on long-term domestic demand rather than seasonal tourists.

• Stable long-term rentals. Due to the high concentration of government departments, embassies, and universities, apartments in Ankara enjoy stable demand. Renting out a home here is much easier than on the coast in the off-season.
• Prestigious Çankaya district. Luxury real estate of the capital. Here, surrounded by embassies and near the famous Atakule tower, the most prestigious residential complexes and apartments are under construction.
• Favorable entry barrier. The cost per square meter in Ankara is significantly lower than in Istanbul, with comparable construction quality and infrastructure level.

Transaction Registration, Taxes, and Residence Permit

Liberal Turkish legislation makes buying apartments in the capital fast and safe. Our team provides full support for the transaction.

Key legal nuances:

• Purchase with passport. A foreigner does not need a residence permit to purchase housing, and the transaction is registered directly in the state land registry (Tapu).
• Obtaining a residence permit. Purchasing an apartment with an official cadastral value of at least 200,000 USD opens up the opportunity to obtain a residence permit in Turkey.
• Transport accessibility. Esenboğa International Airport provides stable air connections with the whole world, making flights fast and comfortable.
