Verify current eligibility and documents before committing. - Property-based residence permission: eligibility, qualifying value, property type and eligible areas can change. Confirm the current rules with the relevant authorities before committing. - TAPU transfer tax is generally 4% of the declared value; buyers should understand how it is allocated in their individual transaction. - Purchase VAT, annual property tax, legal work, valuation, insurance, utilities and other acquisition costs depend on the transaction. Use the cost guides and request a current written breakdown. ## Core guides - [Turkish Citizenship by Investment 2026](https://hermava.com/turkish-citizenship/): USD 400,000 route, documents, process and practical checks. - [Ikamet / Residence Permit 2026](https://hermava.com/ikamet-residency/): property-based residence permission, eligibility and cautions. - [Title Deed (TAPU) Guide](https://hermava.com/title-deed-process/): transfer steps, tax and legal safeguards. - [Remote Purchase Guide](https://hermava.com/remote-purchase-guide/): buying via power of attorney. - [Istanbul Districts Guide](https://hermava.com/istanbul-districts/): district comparison, buyer fit and honest verdicts. - [Pakistani Buyer Guide](https://hermava.com/buy-property-istanbul-pakistani-buyers/): buying path and citizenship considerations for Pakistani buyers. - [About Hermava](https://hermava.com/about/): team, approach and contact. - [Free Consultation](https://hermava.com/consultation/): speak with a Hermava advisor. ## Projects - [All Istanbul Projects](https://hermava.com/projects/): curated Istanbul developments. - [TomTom Townhouse - Beyoglu](https://hermava.com/projects/tomtom-townhouse-beyoglu/) - [Maris Bogaz Evleri](https://hermava.com/projects/maris-bogaz-evleri/) - [GENN Halkali](https://hermava.com/projects/genn-halkali/) - [Gokturk Istanbul](https://hermava.com/projects/gokturk-istanbul/) - [Vira Istanbul - Beylikduzu](https://hermava.com/projects/vira-istanbul-beylikduzu/) - [Iki Yaka - Fikirtepe](https://hermava.com/projects/iki-yaka-fikirtepe-kadikoy/) - [Luxera Nevbahar - Basaksehir](https://hermava.com/projects/luxera-nevbahar-basaksehir/) - [Peron Istanbul - Kartal](https://hermava.com/projects/peron-istanbul-kartal-price-guide-2026/) - [RAMS Park House Maslak](https://hermava.com/projects/rams-park-house-maslak/) ## English guides and articles - [Blog and Guides](https://hermava.com/blog/) - [How to Buy Property in Istanbul 2026](https://hermava.com/2026/07/09/how-to-buy-property-in-istanbul-foreigner-2026/) - [Property for Sale in Istanbul 2026](https://hermava.com/2026/07/08/property-for-sale-istanbul-foreign-buyer-2026/) - [Cost to Buy an Apartment in Istanbul 2026](https://hermava.com/2026/07/13/cost-to-buy-apartment-istanbul-2026/) - [Istanbul Rental Yield by District 2026](https://hermava.com/2026/07/07/istanbul-rental-yield-district-2026-3/) - [Is It Safe to Buy Property in Turkey?](https://hermava.com/2026/07/05/is-it-safe-buy-property-turkey-2026/) - [Turkey Golden Visa 2026](https://hermava.com/2026/07/16/turkey-golden-visa-2026/) - [Tapu Senedi 2026](https://hermava.com/2026/07/11/tapu-senedi-title-deed-turkey-2026/) - [Istanbul Ikamet Zones 2026](https://hermava.com/2026/06/29/istanbul-residence-permit-zones-2026/) - [Istanbul Property Prices - June 2026](https://hermava.com/2026/06/26/istanbul-property-prices-june-2026-foreign-buyers/) ## Localized authority hubs - [Farsi hub](https://hermava.com/fa/) and [Farsi blog](https://hermava.com/fa/blog/) - [Urdu hub](https://hermava.com/ur/) and [Urdu blog](https://hermava.com/ur/blog/) - [Arabic hub](https://hermava.com/ar/) and [Arabic blog](https://hermava.com/ar/blog/) - [Turkish hub](https://hermava.com/tr/) and [Turkish blog](https://hermava.com/tr/blog/) ## Farsi guides - [Buy Property in Istanbul - Farsi Guide 2026](https://hermava.com/fa/buy-property-in-istanbul-guide-2026/) - [Istanbul Districts - Farsi Guide](https://hermava.com/fa/istanbul-districts/) - [Istanbul Property Prices 2026 - Farsi Guide](https://hermava.com/fa/property-prices-istanbul-2026/) - [Farsi Ikamet Guide](https://hermava.com/fa/ikamet/) - [Farsi Turkish Citizenship Guide](https://hermava.com/fa/turkish-citizenship/) - [Farsi Buyer Guide](https://hermava.com/fa/buy-property-in-istanbul/) ## Urdu guides - [Turkey Property Guide for Pakistani Buyers](https://hermava.com/ur/buy-property-in-turkey-from-pakistan/) - [Urdu Turkish Citizenship Guide](https://hermava.com/ur/turkish-citizenship/) - [Urdu Ikamet Guide](https://hermava.com/ur/ikamet/) - [Urdu Istanbul Districts Guide](https://hermava.com/ur/istanbul-districts/) ## Arabic guides - [Arabic Buy Property in Istanbul Guide 2026](https://hermava.com/ar/buy-property-in-istanbul-guide-2026/) - [Arabic Istanbul Districts Guide](https://hermava.com/ar/istanbul-districts/) - [Arabic Ikamet Guide](https://hermava.com/ar/ikamet/) - [Arabic Turkish Citizenship Guide](https://hermava.com/ar/turkish-citizenship/) ## Turkish guides - [Turkish TAPU Guide](https://hermava.com/tr/tapu-senedi-nedir/) ## Resources - [Istanbul Property and Living FAQ](https://hermava.com/faq/) - [Rental Yield Calculator](https://hermava.com/yield-calculator/) - [Privacy Policy](https://hermava.com/privacy-policy/) - [Terms of Service](https://hermava.com/terms-of-service/) - [Canada office](https://hermava.com/canada/) - [Indonesia office](https://hermava.com/indonesia/)
