JT2021 0 Posted Sunday at 08:49 Report Share Posted Sunday at 08:49 Hi Guys, I am new to here, so go easy on me if I ask anything stupid :-) My fiancée and I are looking to purchase in Mugla. with a view to living in the property. We are currently looking at places to rent first, so we can try out various areas before buying. I just wanted to ask for guidance/opinions on how to get a mortgage. I've seen various posts online recommending HSBC Turkey, TR Bank etc. etc. - I just wanted to see what you guys think. I'll be looking to borrow approx. $150k and it'll be putting down 60% of the mortgage up front. Many Thanks, JT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eglegal 93 Posted Sunday at 16:02 Report Share Posted Sunday at 16:02 Hi JT, Wish you and your fiancée best of luck at your relocation plan to Turkey. Bodrum/Mugla is definitely a nice spot to settle I am afraid that would not be very easy for a non-Turkish citizen who does not reside in Turkey and do not have prior credit score to a get mortgage loan. You might think that there is no risk for the bank, given that they take the property as "security" for a possible failure of you not returning the loan, but in practice that does not work like that. Banks requires a good credit score, along with the property security. I also heard that in some cases, newcomers use their home country bank's as a guarantor to that mortgage loan and invite them to the table when they are discussing the terms with the Turkish bank. One of my clients managed to get a mortgage loan successfully after 3 years she has started residing in Turkey and becomes a tax payer. Good luck ! Ken Grubb 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
