How does buying in Acarkent work?
As the project is completed, sales are resales: a contract is signed with a deposit and the balance is paid at the land registry together with the title transfer. During this process, the title deed, mortgage and lien check, review of the sale contract and the transfer are handled by Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu. Buyers who cannot travel to Turkey can complete the title transfer by power of attorney.
How do foreigners buy property in Acarkent?
A foreign buyer first obtains a Turkish tax number and opens a Turkish bank account; then the title deed and encumbrance check, valuation report and contract are completed and the title is transferred. The land registry also confirms that the property can be sold to a foreigner. Every step is followed by Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu, who works on property purchases by foreigners.
What needs to be done after the title transfer?
After the transfer, the electricity, water and gas subscriptions are opened in the new owner's name, the owner is registered with building management and a property tax return is filed with the municipality. If a citizenship application will be made, the payment documents and the title deed annotation are added to the file at this stage.

In October 2026, 160 m² 3+1 roof duplexes in Beykoz Konakları rent from about $3,500 per month, 240 – 470 m² 4+1 and 5+1 duplexes from $5,500 – $6,000, and 600 – 700 m² 6+2 villas with pools from about $10,100. Rental demand at the top end is strong.

What is the rental yield in Acarkent?
An indicative gross yield can be calculated where both sale and rental listings exist for the same type: for a 6+2 villa, an annual rent of $121,200 against a sale price of $2,379,000 gives about 5%; for a 5+1, an annual rent of $66,000 – $72,000 against $1,452,000 gives about 4.5% – 5% gross. As the villas in the sale and rental listings are not identical in size and listings are few, these rates are not firm; service charges, taxes and maintenance reduce the net yield.
Can units in Acarkent be rented short term?
Under the rules in force since 2024, short-term rental requires a permit from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the unanimous consent of the other owners in a condominium building. In projects with many units this consent is hard to obtain in practice, so investment returns should be calculated on long-term rent.
What are the service charges and buying costs at Acarkent?
Service charges at Acarkent are set by building management according to the apartment's size and the compound's services. We obtain the current service charge for the apartment you are considering in writing from management and share it before purchase. The main buying costs on top of the price are:
By law, buyer and seller pay 2% each; the parties may agree otherwise.
A fixed fee charged for the title deed transaction.

Can you get Turkish citizenship by buying in Acarkent?
