SELLER TOOL
Seller Closing Cost & Tax Estimator (Turkey)
Get a high-level view of your expected closing costs and a quick check of the 5-year capital gains rule when selling your property in Turkey.
Legally the 4% is split 2% seller / 2% buyer, but in practice it is often negotiated.
Sworn translator fees are estimated at 5,000 TL and are included as an average, but actual cost varies by city and notary.
This tool provides an approximate view based on common market practice and current general rules. Exact figures and taxes must always be confirmed with a licensed Turkish tax advisor or lawyer.
