Buying an Apartment in Alanya as a Foreigner: Steps & Costs
From viewing to title deed: a clear path for international buyers looking at Alanya apartments and coastal investments.
Why buyers choose Alanya
Alanya combines year-round climate, rental demand, and a mature market of residential complexes. Investors often buy 1+1 or 2+1 apartments for personal use plus seasonal rental income; others look at boutique hotels for higher yield.
LOS ESTATE advises international buyers on stock that is actually available — not only portal screenshots — including BestHome sale units and selected hotels in Alanya and Gazipaşa.
Main steps of a purchase
Typical flow: shortlist and viewings → reservation / deposit → due diligence and lawyer review → notary / title deed (tapu) process → keys and utilities. Exact documents depend on nationality and property type.
We coordinate viewings, introduce trusted local lawyers when needed, and keep communication in your language so you understand each fee and signature.
Apartments vs hotel investments
Apartments in complexes like BestHome 36 / 37 are easier to manage and rent. They suit buyers who want living space or simple long-term / winter rental income.
Hotels (for example beachfront stock in Gazipaşa) need operational experience or a management partner. Higher capital, higher complexity — and potentially higher return.
Costs beyond the asking price
Budget for title deed fees, possible VAT or exemptions depending on the case, lawyer fees, and furniture if the unit is sold empty. Building dues (aidat) continue after purchase.
Request a written cost outline before you commit. Transparent numbers protect both sides and speed up closing.
