How does buying in Babacan Gardenia 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 Babacan Gardenia?
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.
How much are Babacan Gardenia apartments for rent?
We found no active rental listings for Babacan Gardenia in the sources we checked. Handovers only started in September 2026, so a rental market inside the project has not formed yet; for that reason we do not give a rent table. If you are planning to rent the unit out, we can check current listings together before you buy.
Source: emlakkulisi.com, karas-group.com, satisofisi.com, nli.com.tr and listingturkey.com project pages, checked on 27 October 2026; none of them contains a rental listing.
What is the rental yield at Babacan Gardenia?
The rental yield for Babacan Gardenia cannot be calculated, because there is no unit type with both a sale and a rental listing. The regional price growth percentages shown in some sources refer to the past and are no guarantee of future returns.
Can units in Babacan Gardenia 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 Babacan Gardenia?
Service charges at Babacan Gardenia 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.
Compulsory earthquake insurance taken out before the transfer.
Licensed valuation; compulsory for purchases by foreigners.
Present at the land registry for buyers who do not speak Turkish.
By Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu, from contract to title deed.
Fee rates may change with legislation; you can request the exact breakdown in writing before purchase. For new-build purchases, whether VAT is included in the price is also checked.
Can you get Turkish citizenship by buying in Babacan Gardenia?
A home or office worth at least $400,000 (four hundred thousand dollars) qualifies for Turkish citizenship by investment; the threshold can also be reached with more than one property.
According to the dollar list dated 2 October 2026, every unit type at Babacan Gardenia meets the $400,000 threshold on its own; even the cheapest 2+1 starts from $463,000. Under the developer's September 2026 Turkish lira prices, the 3+1 (about $484,000) and the 5+1 (about $796,000) are also above the threshold. The 15,500,000 TL price for a 2+1 in the June 2026 announcement equals about $313,000, so it falls below the threshold. What counts is the value in the valuation report, not the sale price, so the appraisal and title deed steps should be checked separately within the citizenship process.
- The value is determined by a licensed valuation report.
- A no-sale annotation of at least 3 (three) years is placed on the title deed.
- Payment is made in foreign currency and documented through a Turkish bank.
- The application file is prepared and followed by Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu.
Legislation may change; current requirements are confirmed with the lawyer before applying.
