Changes in the Turkish Real Estate Market in 2025

In 2025, significant changes have taken place in the Turkish real estate market, especially regarding transaction costs. Let's take a closer look at what expenses buyers can expect:

1. Title Deed Registration (Tapu):

State Duty: 4% of the cadastral value of the property. It is important to remember that the cadastral value is often lower than the market price, but changes may occur starting in 2025.
Contribution to the Cadastral Office (Döner Sermaye): 9,092 TL (one foreign party) or 14,635 TL (both parties are foreign nationals).
Notary Services: Approximately 100 EUR (mandatory for transactions involving foreigners).
Appraisal: Required for obtaining Turkish citizenship through real estate investment.
