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.

  • Notary Services: Approximately 100 EUR (mandatory for transactions involving foreigners).
  • Appraisal: Required for obtaining Turkish citizenship through real estate investment.
