Costs of Buying a House

When buying a house, it is important to factor in all the upfront costs, mortgage costs and ongoing costs involved in buying and running a property. Below are the key costs that you need to include in your budget when establishing what you can afford.

Upfront Costs Ongoing Costs

Upfront Costs

Deposit

The deposit is the amount you put towards the cost of purchasing your property. To get the complete choice of deals having a decent deposit amount is important. 40% is generally the optimum deposit, giving you some of the best rates that mortgage lenders will offer.

 

Buying / Selling Tax

For all the taxes please refer to the table below.

Valuation Report Fee

An Independent valuation report is carried out, this is compulsory and is approximately 6000 TL.

Legal Fees

You may need a solicitor to assist in buying a property if buying 'Off-plan' or a 'Payment plan'

Electronic Transfer Fee

Typically costing 20-40, this covers the lender's cost of transferring money from the UK/Europe to Turkey.

Agent Fees

Agents act as an intermediary between the customer and the seller, and can usually advise on the houses/flats available, thus saving the customer from having to visit numerous agents separately.

Insurance

Dask compulsory government insurance covering earthquakes.
The insurance for your home and its contents is optional.

Types of cover we can help with...

Home Insurance

Medical Insurance

Personal Accident Insurance

Ongoing Costs

Insurance

Your mortgage lender will require that the mortgaged property is insured in order to protect its interest in the property. It is also prudent to take out contents insurance to protect your belongings. To protect your family you may want life cover to ensure that the mortgage is paid off should you die before the end of the loan. Other protection policies are available to help protect your investment.

Council Tax

The amount you will pay is based on the valuation of your property.

Utilities

Ask the current homeowner what they spend on utilities: electric, gas and water to help you estimate your monthly utility costs. Also factor in costs for line rental, calls, broadband, and TV.

Maintenance and Repairs

Your survey should have highlighted any expected costs involved with necessary repairs, but you must budget for regular decorating and DIY. These figures are presented as a general guideline only. Actual closing costs will vary for any transaction. Before signing any contract, you will have all closing costs explained to you by us. Turkish property taxes, maintenance fees and other expenses are considerably lower in Turkey, it will be around one-third of Spain and less than a quarter of France.
