Selling in Kalkan
Selling your villa
in Kalkan.
Thinking of selling your villa or apartment? Matt & Co, the team behind Buy Kalkan, will value it for free, present it properly to buyers from around the world and look after the sale, from the first viewing to the title deed transfer.
Why sell with us
Your home, properly presented.
We are a small, local agency, so every home we take on gets our full attention. This is what we do for yours.
A local office and team
We are based in Kalkan, in our office on Hasan Altan Caddesi. We know the neighbourhoods, the buildings and the buyers, and we are on hand whenever a buyer wants to see your home.
Presented in 13 languages
Your home's page can be read in English and twelve other languages, from Turkish, Russian and German to Arabic and Chinese, so buyers can read about it in their own.
A page of its own
A dedicated property page with professional photos, a video tour and a map, and the details buyers ask about set out clearly. Easy to share, on any phone.
Posters and brochures
A printed poster for our office window and brochures to hand to buyers, each with a QR code that opens your home's page.
On A Place in the Sun
Your listing is sent to the A Place in the Sun property portal through our feed, so it also reaches buyers searching there.
Alerts to registered buyers
Buyers who have signed up for new-listing alerts are emailed when a home that matches their search comes on the market.
Every enquiry answered personally
Buyers' questions by phone, WhatsApp and email are answered by our own team, usually within a working day.
Viewings arranged and accompanied
We arrange viewings to suit you and the buyer, and one of us is always there to show the home.
With you to the title deed
We help you with the paperwork right through to the transfer of the title deed (tapu) at the Land Registry.
How it works
Seven steps to a sale.
- 1
Free valuation visit
We visit your home, look at it as a buyer would and give you an honest view of its value and how best to present it. There is no charge and no obligation.
- 2
Listing agreement and EIDS authorisation
We agree the terms with you in writing. Turkish law also requires the owner to authorise the advert through EIDS, the electronic advert verification system on e-Devlet, before a home can be advertised. We will walk you through it.
- 3
Photos, video and your listing
We photograph and film the home, write its description and publish its page in every language on the site.
- 4
Marketing and enquiries
Your home goes out to registered buyers, to A Place in the Sun, in our window and in our brochures. We answer every enquiry and keep you up to date.
- 5
Viewings
We arrange and accompany the viewings, in person or by video call for buyers who can't travel yet, and tell you how each one went.
- 6
Offer and negotiation
We bring you every offer and negotiate the price and terms on your behalf, including exactly what is included in the sale.
- 7
Contract, deposit and title deed
A sale contract is signed and the buyer pays a deposit. The title deed (tapu) is then transferred at the Land Registry, with you there or through a power of attorney, and the sale is complete.
Every sale is different. We will give you a realistic timetable for yours.
Our fee
One fee, agreed in writing.
Our standard fee is 2% of the agreed sale price, plus KDV (VAT, 20%).
A worked example
| Agreed sale price | £300,000 |
|---|---|
| Our fee (2%) | £6,000 |
| KDV (20% of the fee) | £1,200 |
| Total fee, including KDV | £7,200 |
The valuation visit is free. When the fee is due, and any other terms, are set out in the listing agreement, which we agree with you in writing before we start.
Paperwork
What you'll need.
The documents we typically ask for when we list a home. Don't worry if you don't have them all to hand: we will tell you what is missing and how to get it. This is a general guide, not legal advice.
Title deed (tapu)
The title deed for the home, or a copy of it. We will check the details on it with you.
DASK earthquake insurance
The current compulsory earthquake insurance policy, which is needed for the transfer.
Habitation certificate (iskan)
A copy of the iskan, if one has been issued for the building.
ID for every owner
A passport or Turkish ID card for each owner named on the title deed.
Recent utility bills
Recent electricity and water bills, so the accounts can be moved to the buyer.
Rental licence (turizm belgesi)
If the home is let to holidaymakers, its tourism rental licence.
