English transcript

Buying in Türkiye and only budgeting for the price? Prepare for these three types of costs too.

First: Transaction costs.

Check transfer taxes and fees, plus translation, notarial and professional service costs where needed.

Second: Move-in costs.

Furniture, appliances, renovation, repairs and utility connections: ask what is included.

Third: Ownership costs.

Building fees, property tax, insurance and maintenance should be planned before buying. If you intend to rent out the property, also allow for vacancy and management.

Costs vary by property and transaction. Before signing, list each amount, who pays it and when it is due.
