Off plan mortgages

DenizBank makes deals with project developers to finance uncompleted houses in a project. Sometimes DenizBank gives loans before completion of the house or gives you upfront the commitment that DenizBank will pay out a loan after completion. Go to your nearest branch to ask for our current joint promotion with developers and ask for the special conditions.
