PRICING & TRANSPARENCY
Understand the costs. Then decide whether to proceed.
The figures below are Starmoon’s currently published pricing framework. Government charges and independent third-party costs are identified separately and remain subject to the rules, formal documents and written quotations applicable on the transaction date.
Information reviewed: 4 September 2026Starmoon service and execution fees
All Starmoon service fees stated on this page include KDV. The written quotation agreed after confirming family composition, the property and the scope of engagement will prevail.
Legal service fee
USD 5,000Legal services for the property transaction and related application process.
Türkiye execution and agency costs
USD 3,000–5,000Matched to family size and the actual scope; includes relevant notarisation, sworn translation, insurance, documentation and local execution costs.
China-side document costs
At actual costChina-side notarisation and authentication costs are confirmed before work begins.
Additional independent valuation
At third-party quoteAn extra property assessment is client-paid and normally occurs only when requested.
If a matter creates a new service scope or additional third-party expense outside the legal and local execution fees above, we explain the reason, amount and impact before the client decides whether to continue.
Government taxes and published charges
These are not set by Starmoon. The applicable amount may depend on the property, project, floor area, permit date, buyer status and transaction date.
Tax rates are subject to the current official rules. Page verification date: 2026-09-04
Title deed fee (Tapu harcı)
Client share: 2% or 4%The statutory title deed fee totals 4%, with the buyer and seller each legally liable for 2%. Depending on the project and transaction arrangement, the client’s agreed economic share falls into either a 2% or 4% tier; the applicable tier is confirmed in writing after the project is selected. A contract may allocate the economic burden between the parties but does not change the statutory taxpayer.
Property KDV
May be 1%, 10% or 20%The rate depends on the property and project. An eligible foreign buyer not settled in Türkiye may apply for a KDV exemption on the first delivery of a residence or workplace by its developer or builder. “First” refers to the first delivery of that property, not the buyer’s first home. Statutory conditions also include foreign-currency funding, documentary proof and a three-year holding period.
Annual residential property tax
Typically 0.1% or 0.2%The base residential rate is 0.1% and doubles within metropolitan municipality boundaries; residential property in Istanbul is therefore generally 0.2%. The competent authority determines the taxable base and any relief.
Migration authority charges
Current official tariffResidence-permit document and other applicable fees can vary by year, nationality and permit duration. We found no official published basis for a separate “expedited fingerprint fee”, so it is not presented as a confirmed charge.
Separate title certificate fee
No separate service chargeOur service quotation does not add a separate “title deed processing fee”. Statutory title-deed charges and official disbursements remain subject to the formal payment notice.
Sale, letting and long-term support
Letting and property management are separate services. The service period, scope and whether both are engaged are confirmed in writing.
04 · COMMISSION DISCLOSURE
How property commissions are disclosed and discussed
When a client purchases a property, its developer may pay Starmoon a commission. This is an important source of income supporting our long-term, local and end-to-end service, and the rate varies by project. At the same time, we commit to an end-to-end, fully transparent service standard for every client.
After the client selects a property, we disclose the total commission and relevant KDV position. We can then discuss a reasonable treatment of that commission. If it is clearly above a level both sides consider reasonable, the excess may be converted, by agreement, into a benefit or discount for the client.
Our principle is neither to conceal commission nor to promise that it will always be waived in full. It is to earn a reasonable, informed and client-accepted return while continuing to provide high-quality service.
Payment and written confirmation
- Bank transfer supported
- Credit-card payments are not supported
- Fees, payment stages, commission and KDV are confirmed in writing before work begins
