Subscriptions

There are certain things to do after you purchase your property in Turkey. Subscriptions for electricity, water, gas, telephone services, etc., are amongst the most important things you need to organise . Ideal Estates assists you in making sure that all the paperwork is done so that you have a stress free process when applying for all your utility services.

While moving into a house/apartment or a workplace, it is required to have an electricity and water subscription. It is optional if you wish to apply for a telephone subscription. They must all be signed under the name of the person moving into the property. Any person who moves to another residence by buying or renting must subscribe in person or a proxy through a power of attorney. 

Electricity Subscriptions

You should ensure that you subscribe to electricity services for your own property or long-term rental.

If you are moving house and already had a subscription for electricity, cancel your subscription for the existing property and transfer to your new address.            

The electricity service provider will need a security deposit for the subscription. The deposit is refundable upon cancellation of your subscription.
