Buying Property in Alanya as a Foreigner

Alanya Residence · Updated 2026

With its Mediterranean climate, attractive prices and established international community, Alanya is a favourite among foreign buyers. The process is simpler than most expect — and many purchases are completed remotely. Here's the step-by-step roadmap.

1. Budget and goal

Clarify your goal first — investment, holiday home, rental income or citizenship. It shapes the right area and project.

2. Choose the right project

Shortlist by distance to the sea, layout, delivery date and on-site facilities. New-builds usually include pool, spa and security.

3. Documents you need

• Passport and a Turkish tax number (easy to obtain)
• A Turkish bank account
• A licensed appraisal report
• DASK (compulsory earthquake insurance)

4. Payment and title deed

Payment is made through a bank. The title (TAPU) transfer takes place at the Land Registry; an appraisal is mandatory for foreign purchases. It can be completed the same day.

5. Costs (approximate)

• Title transfer tax (typically 4% of the sale value)
• Appraisal, translation and notary fees
• DASK and utility connections

Can I buy remotely?
