A convenient, profitable and popular option of purchasing property without paying for the entire amount at once is the purchase of housing in Turkey by installments. Usually, the installment is provided without interest and on objects under construction.

When applying for installments, we always have an individualized approach to our clients. It means that there is a flexibility on the payments. All the nuances on an individual payment schedule are agreed and approved during a negotiation with a development company. This is a unique opportunity to discuss all the details together and specify the conditions that are suitable for you!
MAINTENANCE EXPENCES
Cost planning is a common strategy that all modern families practice. It is especially true for housing maintenance costs since they constitute monthly expenses for each property owner. Along with the low prices per square meter, another advantage of houses and apartments in Turkey is their low-cost maintenance. The cost of maintaining the property is conditionally divided into fixed and changeable.
Fixed costs
Fixed costs consist of an aidat that is paid monthly, as well as an annual real estate tax.
Aidat is a fee for maintaining the territory of a residential complex that is paid every month.
Every housing complex in Turkey has its own company, which monitors the state of the common house territory, communal networks, and facilities. The amount of money the owner of the apartment pays for the services depends on the facilities of the residential property. The decision is taken collectively and established during the meeting of all residents. The cost of aidat depends on the number of facilities in the housing complex.
The company that preoccupies the facilities provides residents with a full financial report, which lists all items of expenses (usually at the end of the year). The cost of aidat can be discussed at annual meetings of real estate owners who vote to make a final decision. This method of cost control is really convenient, as it allows you to increase the number of payments only on the basis of objective reasons and guided by the common sense of each participant.
The amount of aidat ranges from 10 euros for urban-type houses and up to 300 euros for a housing complex with a large territory and diverse facilities. For instance, for a complex with a swimming pool, a garden, a generator and a big number of apartments aidat is about 50 euros per month. Therefore, when choosing a property, be sure to find out information about the sum for the service.

The Cadastral Office regulates the amount of cadastral value. The exact amount is indicated in TAPU. You can pay the annual property tax at the box office of the district municipality after re-registering the title.
Variable costs
Variable housing costs are gas, water, and electricity.
Meters for utilities will help the owner to pay according to the costs indicated on the devices. In this case, there is a need to pay only when you use electricity, gas or water. There are no expenses for the period when no one lives in the apartment.
An average water bill is about 15-20 euros per month. An average electricity bill is about 20 euros. In the hottest time of the year with daily use of the air conditioner for the most comfortable stay, electricity costs will increase to 35-40 euros.
In the new housing, there are both electric and gas stoves. Keeping a gas stove will simply save your money. Gas is bought in cylinders. The average cost of a gas cylinder is 22 euros. One is usually enough for 4-5 months of regular use. Otherwise, it lasts longer. However, the choice is upon the owner.
It is worth mentioning that you do not have to pay all bills on your own, in particular when you are not in the country. Modern technology allows you to do this automatically.
When registering a bank account, the landlord can order an automatic payment service. It will transfer the required amount for electricity and water from a personal bank account.
If this type of payment through the bank for some reason does not suit you, Profit Real Estate is always ready to help.
