>>>In Turkey the declared value is much less than the actual sales value. The government set minimum declared value for each district.
>>> As an example, an apartment that we sold for 91.000 euro last year in Alanya ( 100 m2 ) is declared as 22.000 Euro in the land registry office.
>>> An apartment that we sold for 75.000 Euro in Mahmutlar is declared as 13.000 Euro in the land registry office. |
