Can a resale apartment be transferred to me while the seller still has an active bank loan? If yes, how is the lien handled at the title office?

Legal Team of Luxury Estate Turkey

Yes. Either close the seller’s loan before transfer or complete a same-day payoff during the tapu appointment with the bank’s release letter. If financing is involved, your new mortgage is registered while the seller’s lien is removed, so the deed never sits encumbered without a release.

I receive a pension abroad. For a residence permit based on home ownership, do I need a Turkish bank account and locally issued health insurance?

Legal Team of Luxury Estate Turkey

A local account helps with proof of means and utilities. Foreign policies can be accepted if they include the migration office phrases; otherwise purchase a compliant Turkish policy. Keep translated statements and policy certificates ready.

For citizenship by investment via real estate, can multiple properties be combined, and how are valuations verified?

Legal Team of Luxury Estate Turkey

Yes, you can combine compliant assets purchased within the valid period. Each must have an SPK-licensed valuation and a “no-sale” annotation for the required term. Payments must be banked and traceable. We coordinate the reports, annotations, and file assembly.
