Why foreigners choose Turkey: reviews from real estate buyers

The Turkish climate needs no introduction. Millions of tourists visited us in the summer. I’ll just add - come in winter, late autumn or early spring, and you will truly feel the significant difference with Russian reality. The Turkish climate is especially appreciated by buyers from the northern regions of Russia. However, they are not the only ones.

But real estate, its quality and comfort, surprises many foreigners. Imagine that in your house you have a gym, a swimming pool, a sauna, a hammam, and a cozy, well-kept courtyard with cypresses and orange trees. And now I’m not talking about elite complexes, but about the most ordinary houses in resorts. Apartments there can be bought for the price of a Khrushchev apartment in Novosibirsk, and an old Moscow apartment can be exchanged for an elite penthouse in Alanya.

The infrastructure of cities is also perfectly adapted for the elderly. Everywhere there are parks with free exercise equipment, designed specifically for people of retirement age. There is a great opportunity for traveling within the country. For example, free excursions to historical sites are regularly organized in Alanya. And there are thousands of them in Turkey.

Turkish laws do not prevent foreign pensioners from working. If you want, you can find yourself a quiet place, for example, as a cashier in a park or as a concierge. But, as a rule, foreign pensioners prefer to enjoy life and breathe fresh sea air while walking. The average Russian pension is enough to live comfortably in Turkey. We will definitely help you arrange the transfer of your pension so that the money arrives regularly, every month.

Many pensioners note that we have very high-quality products - fruits and vegetables grown in Turkey, dairy and meat products. And legends are already being made about Turkish bread and tea; the whole world knows their amazing taste.
Of course, medical issues are also important. In Turkey, all pensioners are treated under insurance. This is not only free diagnostics, but also quite complex operations. And medicines for our elderly are several times cheaper than for everyone else. Most medications are generally provided free of charge.

And in general, the attitude towards older people in Turkey is very friendly. They will always help you with advice and kind words.

Now pensioners come to our country in the thousands, selling housing in their homeland and staying with us. And if previously these were mainly citizens of European countries, now more and more pensioners are from the post-Soviet space. By the way, two ladies from Russia recently became clients of our company; as they themselves joke, between them they are 150 years old. They are simply happy that they moved to live in our country, and they only regret one thing - that they did not do it earlier.

We will be glad to see people of any age among our clients. And no need to worry about moving! We will take on absolutely all the hassle and worries regarding paperwork.

Children are very loved in Turkey. Those who have visited our country have probably noticed this. Even strangers express their kind attitude towards children and schoolchildren; they will never pass by a child who has something wrong.

Safety is one of the main criteria by which married couples with children choose real estate abroad. There are no problems with this in Turkey. Crimes against children are committed extremely rarely, receive wide publicity, and lawbreakers are sent to prison for the rest of their days. And in small towns like Alanya, for decades no one has heard of anyone hurting a child. Children are always under control: residential complexes have security and video surveillance. The same safety measures are observed in schools and kindergartens.

Now in Turkey, in almost every city there are kindergartens and schools where education is conducted in Russian and English. But in general there is no need to worry about the adaptation of children. They get used to living in a new place and find friends even faster than adults. We have hundreds of clients who moved to Turkey with their whole family, sent their child to a Turkish school, and literally within a few months he was already speaking Turkish.

Excellent ecology, the opportunity to buy quality food and clothing, relax at the sea literally every day, and visit the sights - these are the undeniable advantages of moving to Turkey with the whole family.

And adults will have something to do here. You can open your own business, all documents are prepared within a few days. You can get a job - there is currently a shortage of personnel in Turkey, and not only in tourism and the service sector. We need teachers of languages ​​and exact sciences, engineers, programmers, doctors, architects and many others...

We will definitely help you with this too. Thousands of foreigners who have moved to work in our country and receive decent money. Even in our company, almost half of the employees are citizens of other countries!

There are benefits for large families in Turkey (if you are interested in this issue, write to us and we will tell you in more detail). To summarize, we can say that in Turkey foreigners feel confident and comfortable, without fear for themselves or their children. They work, get an education and enjoy life.

Turkey's population is the youngest in Europe; almost half of our citizens are under 40 years of age. Therefore, young people from other countries feel comfortable: they can always find friends and activities of interest. And there are a great many of them!

In Alanya alone there are sections for any kind of sport - from football to gymnastics (and many of them are free), an excellent sailing school and diving courses, art studios, a cinema club, music and choreography classes, even a chess club... Few people know, but alpine skiing is also well developed in Turkey, and there are snowy slopes not far from Alanya and Antalya.

In Turkey, alcohol consumption is not accepted, there is no drug addiction. Young people lead a healthy lifestyle and are aimed at obtaining a quality education and choosing a worthy profession. We have many clients - young people who move to live in Turkey. Some go to study at Turkish universities (by the way, foreigners can also get higher education for free), others get a job or start their own business.

The President of our country welcomes the influx of new, young and energetic citizens. Migration policy has been simplified as much as possible to make it easier for you to start a new life here. For example, buying an apartment of any cost gives you the right to obtain a residence permit (even with a long-term rental contract you can obtain a residence permit); there are no quotas or restrictions for foreigners in the labor market. For freelancers, IT specialists - in short, anyone who works online, Türkiye is also an excellent choice. It’s easy to get legalized here, it’s inexpensive to live, there’s a pleasant climate all year round and plenty of opportunities for self-development.

Turkish real estate in large cities and resorts is in demand and liquid. Last year, foreigners alone bought almost 40 thousand properties. And in January 2019, over 3 thousand transactions with apartments and villas have already been concluded (with Russians in third place among foreigners). But there is still huge domestic demand! As a result, housing prices are rising.

The authorities of our country are doing everything to attract investment: they regularly introduce preferential tax periods (for example, until March 31, 2019, the cost of obtaining a property certificate is reduced to 3%) and simplify the procedures for conducting transactions. We monitor all changes in legislation and will definitely advise you.

Another example that proves that investors are welcome here is the new law, according to which it is possible to obtain citizenship of the country in a simplified manner. One option is to buy real estate in Turkey worth $250,000 or more. Then you can get a Turkish passport in just a few months; you don’t have to wait five years from the date of obtaining a residence permit. By the way, it is not necessary to renounce Russian citizenship.

There are plenty of opportunities to make money from real estate in Turkey. The easiest option is to buy an apartment or villa for rent. The advantage is that this business can be completely passive for you. Property management services are well developed in Turkey. Our company will take care of all the hassle of finding tenants, renting out housing, paying bills and monitoring order in your property. And all you have to do is get money for rent.

This passive income option has long been popular among our clients from Europe. Recently, Russians have also begun to buy real estate in Turkey in order to later receive money from renting it out.

A more complex, but also profitable option is commercial premises or a ready-made business. Here you need to take into account more nuances - both when choosing and when managing an object. But we have extensive experience in this area, we will guide you through all stages of the transaction and help you invest money profitably in Turkey.
