ANSWERS TO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
What to know about property and life in Mersin
A short selection from our knowledge base, with one question from each topic: from buying and expenses to renting and documents.
All questions and answersThe INCOME MERSIN advert lists an apartment for, say, €50,000. What additional costs should a buyer of real estate in Mersin expect?
Buying Property in Mersin, Türkiye
If an apartment is purchased in Mersin on the secondary market, the following additional charges apply:
- INCOME MERSIN agency commission is 2% of the property value
- Taxes, fees and expenses for registration of TAPU (title deed)
The amount of government expenditure depends on the cadastral value of the property.
On average, the benchmark for a foreign buyer is around 3,000 euros.
If the apartment is purchased from a Mersin developer, then:
- As a rule, the developer pays the agency's commission
- the buyer pays only the costs of registration of the TAPU
INCOME MERSIN calculates the full cost of a real estate purchase and sale transaction in advance, ensuring clients avoid unexpected expenses.
What property taxes must be paid annually in Turkey?
Taxes in Turkey and utility costs in Mersin
Annual Property Tax in Turkey (Emlak Vergisi):
- residential real estate - 0.1-0.2% of the cadastral value
- commercial - 0.2–0.4%
Tax is paid:
- until the end of May
- until the end of November (can be paid in one payment for the year)
In Mersin the cadastral value is low, therefore:
- The average tax is about 1,000 lira per year (≈ 20 euros)
The tax is paid from the following year after receiving the TAPU, regardless of the stage of construction.
