How does buying in Barbaros 48 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 Barbaros 48?
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.

At Barbaros 48, 3+1 flats are advertised for rent at $5,900 (five thousand nine hundred dollars) to $6,700 (six thousand seven hundred dollars) a month. Both listings we reviewed are 3+1 flats of 167 m² gross and 110 m² net; the Historic Peninsula and Bosphorus view is the main factor behind the asking rent.

What is the rental yield at Barbaros 48?
The gross rental yield of 3+1 flats at Barbaros 48 works out between 2.5% (two and a half percent) and 4.2% (four point two percent). Comparing the same agency's sale listing (about $2,468,000) with its rental listing (about $80,000 a year) gives 3.2% (three point two percent). There is no rental listing for a 2+1 of the same type, so its yield cannot be calculated. After service charges, taxes and empty periods, the net yield will be lower.
Can units in Barbaros 48 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 Barbaros 48?
Service charges at Barbaros 48 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 Barbaros 48?
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.
Every unit type at Barbaros 48 meets the $400,000 citizenship threshold on its own at list price; even the smallest 2+1 is more than three times that amount. However, the application is based on the value in a licensed valuation report and the sale price on the title deed. Sources disagree on whether the title deed is full condominium ownership (kat mülkiyeti) or construction servitude (kat irtifakı), so the deed and occupancy permit status should be checked before buying.
- 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.
