The greater issue regarding the government wanting foreigners to buy property in Turkey is that they need to address the problems, in the vast majority of cases caused by the ridiculous wait for military clearance. I bought our first home in Turkey in 2003, from a British owner. It wasn't in a military zone two years earlier when he bought it, and it wasn't in a military zone two years later again when I (as a Brit) sold it to another Brit. And a few years later it wasn't in a military zone when that Brit sold it to another Brit. As there have been no changes in where military zones are in the entire area, why do they continue to insist on an 8 week - 6 month wait to confirm this.
It's not necessary and it is seriously critical. For it is this period of 8 weeks to 6 months, that causes, I estimate, 90% of cases of non-nationals losing their dream home AND their money.
A Turk can buy a property the way we buy a car in the UK. Here's the money, here's your tapu, 10 minute job. No time for the seller to sneak off and take out a loan secured on the property, or to run up other debts that cause the bank to take possession of the property they are trying to sell to you.
It's an absolute mess and while nobody in a position to do anything about it is concerned enough to do something about it, sales of property to foreigners might be something they like the idea of, but it will never reach anything like it's true potential. To expose the very people who's investment you crave to this level of financial risk is absolutely unacceptable.
And as with most of the frustrations of Turkish bureaucracy, it would take five minutes to sort out.
