The costs of acquiring real estate in Turkey are paid by the buyer separately from the amount of the property.
In accordance with Turkish legislation, the one-time tax on registration of property rights with the participation of one of the parties in the transaction of sale of a foreign citizen is 4% of the value of real estate, calculated from an expert assessment of the value of the object.
Costs for TAPU registration:
- Payment for an expert assessment of the value of the object — from 2600TL (depends on the m2 of the object)
- Payment of tax — 4% of the cadastral value (tax on the purchase of real estate).
- Tax payment — 1 672TL (tax for registration of TAPU in the cadastral chamber).
- Services of a sworn translator — 100 euros.
- Issuing a tax number is free.
- Notary services — from 1500TL.
- Notarized translation of documents (different in each case) — 1 page from 200TL (depending on the number of characters and the complexity of the translation).
After receiving the TAPU, you must issue:
- ISKAN — technical passport for an apartment (for new real estate and for secondary, if it was not issued by the previous owner) — the cost depends on the cadastral value and on the area of \u200b\u200breal estate — from 2000TL.
Subscriber number for water — 1200TL. - Subscriber number for electricity — 260-500TL + deposit.
- All of the above costs are one-time. When reissuing subscriber numbers of secondary real estate, the costs are significantly reduced.
Regular expenses:
- Real estate tax (paid once a year, but can be paid semi-annually) — from 0.03% to 0.07% of the cadastral value.
- Aidat — the so-called utility bills — 150-700 TL per month. The amount and terms of payment in each complex are individual.
- Bills for electricity and water — monthly according to meter readings — for the actual consumption of resources. The amounts are individual.
Additional expenses:
Property insurance against earthquakes (DASK) and other types of risks (damage to property from natural phenomena, floods and leaks, theft and robbery, fire, etc.) — from 70 TL, depending on the area and age of the building.
Important:
these amounts may vary depending on the exchange rate, the location of the property and applicable law.
