Turkey is witnessing a great demand by those wishing and looking for investment and real estate ownership.
Many specialists in the field of marketing, development and real estate investment said that the boom in the Turkish real estate market was reflected in prices, They explained that the rise in prices made investors turn to this profitable market. Consequently, the proportion of requests for investment increased, especially in the northwestern states of Turkey such as Istanbul and Yalova Bursa.
Perhaps the most prominent thing that investors seek in light of the huge number of real estate projects that Turkey is witnessing, is to find a suitable site to buy their property, at special prices, This is because this process is risky, especially for foreigners who are not fluent in the Turkish language.
The Turkish government is also keen on the interests of the next foreign investor to buy a property in Turkey, Therefore, it issued a package of decisions, the most prominent of which is the law granting Turkish citizenship to anyone who owns a property worth only $400,000 , which encouraged Arab investors and businessmen to invest their money in Turkey and obtain Turkish citizenship.
The Turkish Ministry of Housing issued a decision requiring the presence of a real estate expert recognized by the Ownership Department (Tabu Department) whose task is to assess the price of the property, This is what is known as the “ real estate appraisal ” committee .
