TeleMortgage | Online Mortgage Application for Foreigners

Buying a property in Turkey has many important steps, and financing is one of them. If you don’t have cash at hand, or simply don’t want to invest your capital money in a property, Turkish banks offer to finance for foreign investors and home buyers as well. Your mortgage is based on your preference, so you can use it as TL, USD, or Euro but most foreigners prefer USD or Euro because of the high inflation rates.

Generally, many foreigners consider it hard to get a mortgage in Turkey. Most of the time it’s hard to find someone who can speak your main language, and to be honest, banks use a different language intertwined with technical terms, and if you don't have a Ph.D. in economics, its hard to follow and understand them even if you speak the same language. The other thing is all the paperwork and obligation to carrying those papers between the bank and government offices.
