Mortgage

In March 2007, Turkey adopted a law under which foreign nationals are able to buy property in Turkey on credit. Mortgage loan can be granted to any foreign citizen who has the right to purchase real estate in Turkey.
Credit is given for up to 15 years. There is a possibility of early repayment of the loan with the commission of 2% of the amount due.
Interest on the loan depends on the lending bank and on the period for which the mortgage is issued, the average from 5,5 to 8 percent per year. The interest rate on the loan is fixed at the time of signing the contract for the entire loan term. Mortgage loan may be issued in various currencies (turkish lira, dollar, euro).
