Türkiye
Title deed transfer tax is charged on the declared sale value, customarily split between buyer and seller though this is negotiable. Add notary and translation costs for a foreign buyer, and an annual property tax once you own it.
If you buy through a power of attorney, budget for notarisation and, where needed, consular formalities in your home country. Those costs sit outside the deed tax and are easy to forget in a remote purchase plan.
Dubai
The Dubai Land Department charges a transfer fee on registration, plus a smaller admin fee for the title itself. There is no annual property tax in Dubai, though service charges apply to most apartments and some villas.
Off-plan purchases also carry developer payment-plan terms and, on handover, possible connection or furnishing costs that are not part of the DLD fee schedule.
How we quote all-in cost
For a property you are seriously considering, we build a line-by-line estimate with current rates rather than a single percentage. Rates change; treat website summaries as orientation, not a binding quote.
