Purchase of office space for rent to tourists
Olga Ivanova asks:
Hello. Can I buy an office space near Cleopatra Beach and rent it out to tourists? Do I need the permission of the neighbors for this and is it possible to officially change the status of the premises to an ‘apartment’? There are only 8 apartments in the house.
Thanks

Hello, as the owner, you can rent, but it is difficult to transfer from non-residential to residential, you need to seek help from specialists on the ground.

You can buy and rent for the intended purpose, as an office. Neighbors' permission is not required. It is almost impossible to change the status of an apartment if you do not have the necessary connections.

Hello, Olga! Yes, you, as a foreign citizen, can buy office space. If the premises have the category of commercial premises, as a rule in tapu (certificate of ownership) this is indicated as dükkan, then no permission from neighbors to conduct commercial activities not prohibited by law is required. As for changing the purpose of the premises, this is a complicated procedure, since the question does not provide specific title documents for this room, so it is not possible to answer accurately regarding the change in the status of this room. With respect

Hello, of course you can buy and rent. But. It should be borne in mind that if you rent an office space as an apartment, you will not be able to do this by law. The owner of the apartment or the agency is obliged to register tourists with the police, even a temporary residence permit can only be registered for residential premises. You can try to negotiate with your neighbors, but you still won't be able to rent legally. Any complaint from neighbors - and you will get serious fines. The official change of the status of real estate from commercial premises to residential premises is possible, but for this you need to contact the manager of the house and collect signatures from all residents of the house. Naturally, the renewal will cost a certain amount of money. At the moment it will cost about 15,000 liras

TURKEY. Taxes, fees
Good afternoon! Please tell me if there is any tax for making changes to the Tapu, a new surname in the passport. In this case, I don't need a Tapu translator, but as a foreigner, I was forced to buy and sell. Is it necessary to simply change the last name in the document? What else do I have to pay? Tax or fee. I can't find any information on this topic at all. Thank you in advance for your reply! Sincerely, Ksenia.

TURKEY. Taxes, fees
Hello! How do I pay for an ID from another country? I'm not in Turkey right now. Should the management company issue an invoice for payment? The bank did not accept our payment, as they require an invoice for services to be paid to a legal entity. And we also don't know how to pay the tax remotely. Thank you in advance for your reply!
