In 2013, Kazakhstan will be among the top 5 countries in terms of real estate sales in Turkey. According to analysts' forecasts, about 500 apartments will be sold to Kazakhstanis in 2013, reports a correspondent for the business portal Kapital.kz.
“Currently, there are all the prerequisites for this, the necessary laws have been adopted and the residents of Kazakhstan are interested in real estate in Turkey,” explained Alexandra Sokolova, manager of one of the Turkish developers in Kazakhstan.
Over the past year, citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan purchased 57 real estate properties in Turkey. As is known, since August last year, Kazakhstanis have been allowed to buy real estate in Turkey everywhere, except on the Black Sea coast. Particularly popular among those wishing to buy an apartment or villa in Turkey are the following areas: Antalya, Alanya, Belek, Kemer, Bodrum and Fethiye.
“Today, citizens of Kazakhstan can purchase real estate for an individual with a residence permit (residence permit) for all first-line family members of the owner. To obtain a residence permit, you must present a TAPU (certificate of ownership of real estate), a passport and a questionnaire to the Turkish embassy,” said Alexandra Sokolova.
Please note that TAPU registration is carried out exclusively in personal presence in Turkey.
In total, in 2012, investors from 183 countries purchased 2,578 Turkish real estate properties, the total area of which amounted to 1,162,000 square meters. Moreover, most of the real estate in Turkey was purchased by German citizens. Thus, 561 Germans own 775 Turkish real estate properties with a total area of 789 thousand square meters.
The top three also include the British and Russians. Russian citizens in Turkey own 416 apartments, and UK residents own 365 properties.
