Choosing an apartment or apartment
Viewing advertisements for sale, foreign investors ask themselves: what is the difference between apartments and apartments in Turkey?
In essence, there is no significant difference between these objects.
Apartment in Turkey, or daire, – the most popular type of real estate among buyers. The layout of the facilities, with the exception of some features, is not much different from modern Ukrainian, Kazakh or Russian options. Housing includes a bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, large balcony, and often there will be several bedrooms and bathrooms in the apartment.
Apartments – this is the same apartment, indicating that the object is a residential property and has an area of more than 50 m2. This formulation sometimes surprises investors, because the generally accepted classical definition of apartments implies a special type of non-residential property, where there are all conditions for temporary residence.
In addition, in Turkey there is no such thing as a one-room or two-room apartment. The advertisements indicate the digital designations 1+0, 1+1, 2+1, 4+1, etc., where the first number – this is the number of bedrooms, the second – living rooms. Therefore, to understand which apartment is in front of you, it is enough to add two numbers. These characteristics, among other things, determinehow much apartments in Turkey cost.
Let's take a closer look at the layout of Turkish apartments.
1+0
Apartment 1+0 – This is a studio or one-room apartment, where the kitchen is combined with the living room, with a total area of 40–60 m2.
1+1
Apartment with one living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. As a rule, in such facilities the shower room is combined with a toilet.
Standard area: 50–70 m2.
2+1
Apartment 2+1 in Turkey – thismeans thatin front of you is a three-room home with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and one or two bathrooms. Sometimes planning solutions involve two shower rooms combined with a toilet, or a shower stall and a bathtub in different bathrooms. The main bedroom (master), as a rule, always has its own shower room.
Area: 60–115 m2 or more.
3+1
The 3+1 apartments have three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and one or more bathrooms with showers or a bath.
Area: 100–160 m2.
A similar approach tothe layout of apartments in Turkey 4+1 , 5+1, etc. Which apartments to choose – depends entirely on the purpose of the purchase and your budget.
What is the beauty of a Turkish penthouse
Turkish penthouses – premium category of real estate. They are always located on the upper floors of multi-apartment residential complexes. Answer to the question:how much doessuchapartment cost in Turkey, Alanya or another resort city, – largely depends on the characteristics of the object.
The market offers both one-level and two-level apartments. Among the characteristics that allow us to classify this option of Turkish property as a premium real estate segment, it should be noted:
- large terrace with a full seating area;
- location on the upper floors of an apartment building;
- panoramic windows overlooking the sea, mountains, historical quarters of the city;
- high ceilings;
- spacious rooms;
- thoughtful layout and high functionality of every square meter;
- high-quality interior finishing and exclusive design;
- diversified internal infrastructure of the residential complex – from swimming pools and a SPA salon to a cinema, parking and 24-hour security;
- high housing liquidity indicators.
What to choose: duplex or townhouse?
Which is better to choose – duplex or townhouse – depends on the purpose of the purchase and the preferences of the investor. First, let's look at the definitions.
Townhouse – A low-rise residential property that is divided into multiple families. That is, this is a spacious housing with a separate entrance, having a common wall with a neighboring house, as well as a large yard for sharing infrastructure: a swimming pool, a recreation area, a barbecue, a parking lot, etc. The total square footage of townhouses – about 100–200 m2.
Duplex in Turkey – a two-story apartment, which can be located on any floors of the house except the upper ones. Suitable for those who appreciate free space and comfortable living with children. If the apartments are on the first level, they often have their own access to the courtyard. Just like penthouses, duplexes are sold with high-quality renovations and completely ready to move in. Planning solutions provide for several bedrooms, bathrooms, and sometimes two kitchen-dining rooms on different floors. As a rule,duplexes in Alanya, Antalya and other cities of the Republic of Turkey have an average area of 110–200 m2.
As you can see, the key difference in a townhouse and a duplex is the location. If in the first case the object is practically a separate cottage, united with other similar houses by a common local area, then in the second – These are apartments within a multi-apartment residential complex.
Villa – Turkish country house
Villa in Turkey – This is a country two- or three-story house of an elite real estate category. Such objects include detached houses with a swimming pool and a garden on their own plot, as well as residences within residential complexes.
The villa complexes have a common landscaped area with:
- summer and heated pools;
- baths, saunas, SPA center;
- sports grounds and halls;
- playground for children;
- tennis courts;
- 24-hour security, service personnel, video surveillance and other amenities.
When selling together with a detached villa, the buyer acquires a plot of land with a garden, landscaping, a swimming pool, and parking for several cars.
Wealthy foreign investors buy luxury villas with exclusive design for recreation, rental or permanent residence. In addition, owning luxury, expensive real estate allows you to obtain a Turkish passport for investment under a simplified and accelerated program. Minimum cost of an object for obtaining Turkish citizenship – 400 thousand US dollars.
Commercial real estate
Commercial space – a popular category among investors in the real estate market in Turkey. Foreign investors are interested in such premises for starting their own business or renting them out for shops, offices, cafes, restaurants, banks, pharmacies. Non-residential buildings are located in shopping and business centers or on the ground floors of residential complexes. The cost depends on the location, area and, as a rule, is available to buyers with a relatively small starting capital.
Purchase of commercial real estate guarantees investors a number of advantages:
- stable passive income from rentals;
- absence of associated costs, since most tenants prefer to make repairs in offices or cafes at their own expense;
- cash payment for several months or a year in advance.
Features of buying land in Turkey
The most common intended purpose of land in Turkey – this is agricultural activities or construction. The legislation of the Republic of Turkey does not prohibit foreigners from acquiring land plots of the specified target categories. Therefore, construction land is in particular demand among buyers from abroad, because this is a real opportunity to realize their dream of a house near the Mediterranean Sea in Turkey.
Purchasing land in Turkey – It is a rather complicated procedure where it is important to take into account many nuances. In particular:
- The limit on the sale of land plots to foreigners is 10% within one district. In total, a foreign citizen can purchase no more than 30 hectares.
- The purchase of land on the Black Sea coast is closed for Russians and Ukrainians.
- TAPU for a land plot is issued with the participation of the Office of the Committee of Geodesy, Cartography and State Cadastre.
- Before the purchase and sale transaction, the plot is entered into the unified state register of the department of cadastral management and urban zoning.
If the value of the land exceeds 400 thousand US dollars, a foreign buyer can apply for Turkish citizenship for investment.
