Common Challenges When Selling Property in Turkey

Selling a home in a foreign country feels hard. You might worry about local laws, tax rules, or the language barrier. But these hurdles shouldn't stop you from making a profit. Here are the main issues you'll face and how we help.

The Legal Steps

The legal side of selling real estate involves several steps. First, you need your title deed (TAPU) and ID. You'll also need a tax number, photos, and earthquake insurance (DASK). Don't forget the municipality value document and a fresh appraisal report. You must pay any old property taxes before you apply at the land registry office.

What It Costs

You should plan for a few specific costs. These include notary fees and a 2% sale tax. You also pay for the appraisal report and insurance. Knowing these numbers early helps you set the right price. It's better to be ready than surprised later.

Capital Gains Tax

Profit tax is based on the difference between your old buy price and the new sale price. But there's a great rule to remember. If you've owned the home for over five years, you don't pay this tax at all.
