Budgeting is a common practice for all modern families. This is especially true for the maintenance costs of apartments, which are a monthly budget item for every property owner. Another advantage of houses and apartments in Turkey is not only the low square meter prices, but also the low maintenance costs. There is no rent in the southern republic, and the cost of maintaining real estate is divided into fixed and variable costs.
Fixed costs
Fixed costs are the Aydat to be paid monthly and the annual property tax.The Aydat refers to the monthly maintenance fee for the facility.The annual property tax (Emlak vergisi) is based on the cadastral value and depends on the size of the property. The cadastral value is one and a half times lower than the market value and ranges from €50 to €200 per year.
Variable costs
The variable costs for maintaining the apartment are gas, water and electricity.It should be noted that the owner does not have to pay all the bills himself, especially if he is not in the country. Modern technology makes it possible to do this automatically.When setting up a bank account, the homeowner can order an automatic payment service that will debit the required amount for electricity and water from the personal bank account.
