How to buy an apartment in Mersin — step by step
Buying an apartment in Mersin as a foreigner is a straightforward process. Turkey is one of the few countries where foreign citizens can freely purchase real estate with full ownership (freehold). The entire process from selection to TAPU takes 2–4 weeks.
Step 1 — Selection. Define your budget, preferred district, and layout. Our managers will suggest options matching your criteria: beachfront, with a view, new build or resale.
Step 2 — Reservation. Place a deposit (typically €1,000–5,000) to reserve the property.
Step 3 — Contract. Sign the purchase agreement with payment schedule. With 0% installment: typically 30–50% down, remainder over 12–36 months.
Step 4 — Payment & TAPU. After full payment, TAPU (title deed) is issued. We handle the entire process.
