The advertised price is not the complete acquisition budget. Separate transaction and move-in costs from the purchase price from the beginning.
Official transaction costs
Land-registry charges and official amounts should be confirmed under the rules in force on the transaction date. Do not assume an old online percentage is still current; check GIB/TKGM information.
Services for international buyers
Depending on the transaction, interpretation, notary, power-of-attorney, valuation or document costs may arise. Not every item applies to every purchase.
DASK and insurance
For relevant homes, compulsory earthquake insurance matters for title and certain utility procedures. Wider home/contents insurance can be considered separately.
Utilities, furnishing and fees
Electricity, water, internet, deposits, furniture, air conditioning and small works all add up. Check the current residence fee and what it includes.
Keep a reserve
Allow for exchange-rate movement and unexpected costs. This is budgeting guidance; verify current taxes and official charges before payment.
