GENERAL PROPERTY SELL/BUY PROCEDURE
Compared to many European countries, the procedure of buying/selling a house is quite simple in Turkey. The transfer of the property is only made by the Land Registry Office.
The costs are as follows:

  1. 3% on the ‘declared’ value of the property to be paid to the government (e.g.: if declaration of buying price is 20.000.- € than the fee is 600.- €)
  2. Land registry office fee (approximately 40.-€ for each transaction)
  3. Passport translation (30.-€)
  4. Permission application fee to be paid to Tapu & Cadastre Office (50.- €)
  5. Translator fee (50.-€- it is compulsory to have a translator at the stage of transaction)
In case the pre-sales agreement is asked to be notarised, than approximately 1% of the selling price of the property has to be paid by the buyer to the notary.

Additional Costs: These transfers are done after the Tapu is transferred to the name of the buyer

Electricity register transfer for the house : Approximately 40.-€
Water register transfer for the house : Approximately 35.-€
Satellite membership for TV- Digiturk : Approximately 100.-€
Telephone line : Approximately 10.-€

No pre-payment-fee of the line claimed in the first invoice after the line is active
(Please note these prices may change due to updates made by the authorities)

Agreement

Once you have decided on a property from our portfolio we will assist you with the following agreement procedures:
Signing standard service charges agreement in the presence of both parties Finding a solicitor approved by the referring Embassy Pre-sales agreement (duable with a pre-sales agreement prepared by the notary or by a solicitor or both)

Deposit

Before we start the procedures at the Land Registry Office, a deposit of 10% of the sales price will be asked to be paid to the seller (as outlined in the contract). In addition to this, half of the total service cost (1.5%) will be paid to Second Home Turkey at the stage of pre-sales agreement by both seller/buyer.
The payment of the remaining sum i.e.90%, would be paid together with the remaining half (1.5%) of the service cost when all the legal procedures are finalised and parties are called for transaction.

Permission

In case the buyer is a foreign nationality person, it is required that the availability of buying the property and passport details of the buyer be approved by the Regional Army Headquarters.
At this stage the costs No:2-3-4 stated in ‘General Buying/Selling Procedures’are asked to be covered.

Deed Delivery –‘Tapu’

Once we receive the approval for the transfer of the deed, so called ‘TAPU’ to your name, you have either the option to give us or your solicitor a power of attorney to register the property on your name or to come once again on call for the termination of the documents.
At this stage the costs No:1-5 stated in ‘General Buying/Selling Procedures’are asked to be covered.
