Title: Does a common law wife need to register with polis if tapu owner not in Turkey
Post by: Karennina on September 16, 2019, 20:12:57 PM: Can anyone tell me please if a couple have been together many years and have not married so therefore have different surnames, if the wife comes to stay in their property without the husband whose name is in the tapu and obviously not paying any rent to stay in her own home will she need to go and register her details at the polis station and if so is there a charge?
Many thanks for any info

And reporting can be done only by the static IP that was given to the police when registering the property.

Inspector sorted it out for us.

Doesn't that incur taxes and fees because it's treated as a sale Stoop ?

That in itself gets rid of the rental issue but of course in the long term it means if anything should happen to either spouse it makes life much easier for the surviving one.

We spent 1.5 hr at polis station this morning but was all very difficult because of the language barrier....
I have to give huge praise to all the polis personnel at Gunlakbasi polis station as they were all so very helpful...

Stoop would you mind posting a rough cost of how much for someone to be added to the tapu please, if not that’s fine thank u

We paid about 2500tl but it's all based on the value of the property - in your case, divided by 2. So you pay 4% tax based on 50% of the property value. This is a value on the Tapu not the amount you would sell it for. Then there are other fees.

Best way to get a detailed estimate is to contact Inspector on here. He sorted everything out for us inside 2 days. By far the best man for the job.
