About Turkey20
Thirty years of property. One mission.
Turkey20 is the work of James Chapman, an estate agent and investor with 30 years across international property markets. The name is the thesis: Türkiye, and the twenty-year exemption that changes the arithmetic of where wealth lives.
James Chapman
James has spent his career where property meets capital: three decades of advising private clients, developing, investing his own money and learning which markets reward patience. He has seen tax regimes come and go, and watched Portugal, Italy and Greece court international wealth with schemes that were later trimmed or closed.
It is also a return. Between 2007 and 2012, James structured and sold a large reserved allocation on a beachfront Turkish development, placing the homes with British and Irish investors and lifestyle buyers. The years after took him to the Spanish market. He was early in Türkiye once before; Law No. 7582 is the reason he is back.
When Türkiye enacted Law No. 7582 in June 2026, he recognised something rarer: a regime with no annual lump sum, a twenty-year horizon and a coastline that stands comparison with any in the Mediterranean. He chose the coast between Bodrum and Kalkan because scarcity is structural there: low-rise height limits, protected bays and a shoreline that cannot be extended.
Turkey20 is deliberately small. James takes a limited number of clients per season, works with vetted Turkish tax counsel and lawyers, and stays personally involved from first call to final furnishing.
How we work
Three commitments
Facts before enthusiasm
Every tax figure we publish is verified against primary sources. Where the law is unclear or the risk is real, currency, politics, execution, we say so before you commit.
Discretion as standard
No addresses online, no client names, viewings arranged privately. Most of our best work is never visible.
Aligned for the long term
Aftercare means our incentive is a happy owner in year ten, not a commission in month one.
Why this coast
The coast, briefly
From the Bodrum peninsula to Kalkan, Türkiye's southwest coast strings together the Mediterranean's most liveable bays: Yalıkavak's superyacht marina, the sheltered sailing waters of Göçek, Fethiye's year-round market town life and Kalkan's white terraces above the sea. Two international airports serve the coast and up to 60% of premium-segment buyers are international, yet the shoreline keeps its scale because it cannot build upwards. That mix of liquidity and scarcity is rare.
