According to new regulations by the Turkish General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre (TKGM), since the 15th of February 2019 real estate appraisal report is obligatory on every foreign property sale (this rule will soon apply to all real estate sales).

What is Property Appraisal Report?

This is an evaluation report for your property which is highly important in terms of conveyance tax calculated on the property value. The process of getting an appraisal report is an obligation that all foreign real estate buyers need to take. Thanks to this regulation you are assured that you pay the right amount of property taxes while purchasing the property. Additionally, this regulation provided by the Turkish government aims to protect all foreign property buyers from possible frauds. It also assists the process of property cost estimation for foreign buyers who are planning to get Turkish citizenship by investment.

As a foreigner interested in investment, you need to have your Turkish property valuation report done before you apply for Tapu in the Registration Office. Turkish property price estimation takes around 2 days. Later, an appraiser prepares the report of 20-35 pages based on the assessment of your home, collected real estate prices in the area, and municipality documents.
