How does buying in As Concept work?
As the project is under construction, sales are made with the developer through a promissory sale contract and a payment plan; the title is transferred according to the construction servitude or condominium status. Before signing, the building permit, construction servitude, delivery date, delay penalty and payment security clauses are checked in a contract review by Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu, together with the title deed and encumbrance check.
What is the payment plan at As Concept?
According to emlakplatform (10 October 2026), a 50% down payment with 24 monthly instalments is offered, or a 25% discount for cash. 10% VAT and 2% title deed costs are added to the price. As delivery has been moved from June 2026 to December 2026, the delivery and delay penalty clauses in the contract should be reviewed carefully.
How do foreigners buy property in As Concept?
A foreign buyer first obtains a Turkish tax number and opens a Turkish bank account; then the title deed and encumbrance check, valuation report and contract are completed and the title is transferred. The land registry also confirms that the property can be sold to a foreigner. Every step is followed by Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu, who works on property purchases by foreigners.
What needs to be done after the title transfer?
After the transfer, the electricity, water and gas subscriptions are opened in the new owner's name, the owner is registered with building management and a property tax return is filed with the municipality. If a citizenship application will be made, the payment documents and the title deed annotation are added to the file at this stage.
How much are apartments for rent in As Concept?
As As Concept has not been delivered yet, there are no rental listings, so we do not publish a rent range. We share current rental offers for similar apartments in the area on request.
What rental yield can As Concept achieve?
With no rent data for the project yet, the gross rental yield cannot be calculated reliably. Once the first rental listings appear after delivery, the yield can be calculated against the sale price of the same apartment type.
Can units in As Concept be rented short term?
Under the rules in force since 2024, short-term rental requires a permit from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the unanimous consent of the other owners in a condominium building. In projects with many units this consent is hard to obtain in practice, so investment returns should be calculated on long-term rent.
What are the service charges and buying costs at As Concept?
Service charges at As Concept are set by building management according to the apartment's size and the compound's services. We obtain the current service charge for the apartment you are considering in writing from management and share it before purchase. The main buying costs on top of the price are:
By law, buyer and seller pay 2% each; the parties may agree otherwise.
A fixed fee charged for the title deed transaction.
Compulsory earthquake insurance taken out before the transfer.
Licensed valuation; compulsory for purchases by foreigners.
Present at the land registry for buyers who do not speak Turkish.
