Title: Selling - associated costs
Post by: babcc on April 19, 2016, 13:12:55 PM

Hi everyone. 

We are probably going to have to put up for sale our apartment, sadly, and just wondered apart from the agent's fees what other costs there are and a really rough idea of what those would be.  Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks a million

We sold an apartment last year, the only cost we had was 50 tl to cover the translation of the sale documents.

Hope your sale goes as smoothly as ours did.

Thanks Jim. What about Solicitor costs?

Did not use a solicitor. Just made sure the money was paid before final paperwork was signed.

I used Sule Beder, paid £1,000. Came back to UK and left her to do it all. Sort out final bills, handle all aspects of sale. Check on property. I know, not cheap, but worth every penny. I would recommend Sule for all aspects of buying/selling.

If you're not in Turkey then Sule is a good bet to leave a POA with as she'll do the lot for you, at a price obviously.

If you're in Turkey then no need for a solicitor, once the money hits your account you can sign anything from the Tapu docs to the buyers arse - it doesn't matter as you've got your dosh.

Maybe a few hundred lira for translator/translations?  Not much else really as a seller.

Good luck

Thanks John.  We are based in the UK however we are out in August so the ideal would be if all the planets aligned and could sort it then.  Methinks it will not happen like that.  Thanks again xxx
