Hi all,

Just about to pay a deposit on property in the Bodrum peninsula.

I have never visited Turkey before and this is a long term buy to let investment for me. I have a 6% rental guarantee for 24 months, but after that, I'd be looking for a letting agent.

Has anyone put together a list of legal considerations that they would be willing to share, to help others avoid any pitfalls in the Turkish system?

For example:
Foreign property conveyance solicitors?
Stamp Duty / Other taxes on purchase?
Capital Gains tax (if any?)
Getting the title deeds on completion, not 3 years on, like Spain?
Likely Council Tax (or equivalent)?
Local Letting Agents?

Any other advice gratefully received!

Thanks in advance.
Pete
