People buying property in Turkey may face costs that may surprise them if they don't have a good command of the property system in Turkey. Apartment owners in Turkey pay for the privileges in the common areas of a building and a price for the maintenance of the common areas. All fees for this maintenance and various facilities are referred to as fees. After all costs of a building have been calculated, it is shared with all apartment owners in the building. While fees are generally the same per apartment, this may vary in some buildings. The size of the building the person owns may mean they pay more fees than those with smaller apartments.

It is important for people considering buying a property in Turkey to check the fees for a building and make purchases accordingly. The cost of a building is billed monthly or annually and presented to the apartment owners. If a building has extensive facilities, facilities such as fitness, sauna, gym and pool, the charges can increase significantly. Fees may also vary depending on the building's heating system. In order not to come across surprising fees, it is necessary to check the possible contribution payments of the structure and to take precautions against them.

Any decision to be made about a building in Turkey will first be discussed at the annual meeting. All construction decisions are usually made in January. The owner of each apartment and villa gets a voice in the decisions to be made. In the annual meetings, the payments made in the previous months are checked, the annual budget is calculated and drawn up, and the people who will be responsible for the management of the building are selected. Old debts can also be collected at annual meetings.

The cost of a building can include many items. The residents of the apartment building cover the costs of many buildings such as porter, security, garden maintenance, lighting, personnel costs, maintenance of the common areas, garden irrigation, elevator, pool operation. All condominium owners are required to pay as much as their share of the property. The Condominium Owners Act obliges all condominium owners to comply with the resolutions made at the meeting.

Contribution payments in Turkey vary depending on the facilities available in a building. Fees for a single block luxury apartment can vary from 200 TL to 300 TL. If the number of blocks increases and there are facilities like swimming pool, fitness, sauna, tennis court and soccer field in this complex, this time the charges can be up to 3,000 TL. In addition, apartment owners are additionally reimbursed for the improvement of the general condition of the building, exterior maintenance, security personnel and similar expenses. Decisions on these issues are discussed at annual meetings. With the approval of a 50 percent majority at the assembly, she ensures that all these studies can be carried out. These studies also determine the amount to be paid per apartment to prevent people from being bullied in any way.

ADVICE FROM 2 CLICKS ON MONTHLY FEES

You can get detailed information about fees by checking the content we have prepared for people who are considering buying property in Turkey but don't have detailed information about fees or want to minimize the fee issues that come after the purchase of real estate can occur.

If you receive a request for payment of fees after purchasing the property, requesting a document or proof that you have paid the fee fee will eliminate a negative situation that may arise in the future. At each location or building there is a possibility that the presidents and managers will change in the coming period. There may be a request that you do not pay any fees at the end of these changes. For this reason, it is important to have proof or documentation to avoid fee refunds.

The property owner can pay their dues to the manager or, if authorized, to the concierge. It is also important to get a document or receipt for the payment made in the same way. Providing information such as payment amount, payment date, apartment and personal information on the receipt prevents possible confusion and negativity. Thus, you will not have any problems with the fees.

If you have doubts about the dues and would like detailed information about the dues, you can ask for the notebook in which the decisions made after the annual meeting are written down. If the fees include additional details, all of these costs should be included in the book. How to make sure the amount you paid for the fees and repairs is correct.

If you are a foreign investor considering buying a property in Turkey and do not intend to stay in Turkey, it would be advantageous to pay the annual fees directly. Failure to pay fees will result in disruption to on-site facilities and a complaint. To avoid such problems, individuals should pay their contributions regularly or annually. Site admins also generally have a bad relationship with people who have issues with fees. In order not to have such problems, we advise you to be careful about the fees.

If you are not very willing to pay your fees and you fail to pay them on time, the site administrator may take legal action regarding your fees. To avoid such troubles, we recommend you to keep good relations with the managers and pay your dues regularly. If you are facing a delay or similar issue related to the fees, you should speak to the manager in detail and provide the date when you will pay the fees.

If you are not receiving the promised benefits and are continually having problems with the building, you can speak up at the annual meetings to resolve your issue. In the meeting you can express the experienced problems in a clear language and ensure that the problem is solved. Whether your request is realized on the site or not is a different situation from the fees. If you stop paying fees because of the problem you are having on the website, you will face legal troubles. In any case, homeowners are required to pay a fee.
