What Do I Need to Do to Buy a Home in the UK from T\u00fcrkiye?<\/h1>\n

No residence permit, no visa and no need to live in the United Kingdom. A buyer living in Turkey can buy a home in England and run the whole process under a power of attorney.<\/strong> Three things are required: a solicitor registered in England, documents showing where the money came from, and a realistic budget that includes stamp duty. The item that surprises buyers most is the tax: if you own a home in Turkey, the stamp duty on a \u00a3300,000 flat is \u00a326,000 rather than \u00a311,000. Below are the total cost, the process step by step, the documents and the duties that follow completion.<\/p>\n\n

Stamp duty: your home in Turkey counts too<\/h2>\n

There are two separate surcharges and they work independently of each other. The first is the non-resident surcharge: 2 percentage points, applied even if you intend to live in the property yourself. The second is the additional dwelling surcharge: 5 percentage points, which applies if you own another home worth more than \u00a340,000 anywhere in the world<\/strong> . HMRC\u2019s rule is explicit: your flat in Turkey is included in that count.<\/p>\n

The \u00a315,000 difference has to go into the budget from the start, and skipping this item is the mistake buyers make most often. For your own figure, use our our stamp duty calculator<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n

Who counts as non-resident<\/h2>\n

The residence test for stamp duty is different from the one for income tax, and much simpler. Nationality, visa status and the UK Statutory Residence Test do not apply here.<\/p>\n
