Breaking news this morning. It seems that now you must have residency to buy a house! You will only be able to sell a house you own to a Turk or a foreigner who has residency! Who in their right mind will buy a holiday property and have to fork out the RISING residency fee each year to allow couple of weeks holiday? What will happen to all those people who already have a property but no residency?? You will have to take it out in order to sell! If you go back to the UK and your property is unsold you will have to maintain residency or sell only to a Turk. What is that likely to do to the Value of your property?
Sounds like another bureaucratic fiasco....maybe it will get changed .....dropped but I am not holding my breath:(
-
This is just getting plain daft now. I think I'll change my nationality and become a Syrian.
-
I think the word is kleptocracy Brian
-
If only I could think of a word that combines that with short sighted stupidity:(
-
And where does reciprocity come into this equation?:-\
-
Where did you read/hear about this Brian?
-
This is coming up every couple of weeks now. When it last came up we checked with the Tapu office and they said they know nothing of such a thing. They would definitely have to have been informed in order to do their job properly. Evidence from an official source is needed because at this moment in time it is just another rumour that refuses to die.

It is in todays Hurryett Daily News and Kalkan Daily News

Here is yesterday's Hurriyet article making quite the opposite point: http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=red-tape-hits-property-sales-to-foreigners-2010-09-08

it sounds like an estate agent rumour to bring prices down by panicking the vendor
-
I couldn't find any word about residency permit in the article of Hurriyet. Trying to find website of Kalkan Daily News but can not. Can someone put the link here please ?

Have you read the third comment[?] makes you wonder, is this the general opinion know of our friends and neighbours[?] :o

I doubt it very much. 95%+ of the properties built and sold to foreigners in places like Calis and Ovacik wouldn't have been built at all if non-nationals couldn't buy them. So rent what exactly to "the foreigners"?

Commenter is typical person, who talks on a subject without any knowledge. Not worth to take into consideration.
And if a foreigner was interested on buying a property belongs to her, be sure she will be very happy to sell it. :)

THANK YOU CENK!!!! (yep shouting he deserves the accolade)
-
I believe that you are only allowed to apply for residency a limited number of times,is that right?
If an owner dies what are the implications for anyone inheriting the property?
Where we are living in France there are loads of houses standing empty because of the complicated inheritance laws.A lot of the houses are lovely properties in beautiful locations and just crumbling away.Families just give up and walk away.
-
If there is any truth in this thread, then what next. Seems every couple of weeks there is something else for foreign nationals living here or potential "come and live in Turkey folk" to contend with and it all revolves around trying to get more money out of us.

The guy that runs this website is very efficient and keeps up to date with any important changes in the laws in Turkey. Save the website address for future reference.

Dont you all think That all of these problem are because of the new computer form
that the officals are being asked to fill out..
The form wont complete without the kimlik number present.
from cars to houses its all the same problem.
Computer says NO.

We have learned today that this was a misinterpretation of some new procedures in Kas, and it has been confirmed that an ID number, (and therefore residency), is definitely not required, when foreigners are buying property.
