FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now! Listing Agreements Aren't all the Same If you are selling your home, and plan to list it with a real estate agency, what type of listing contract will you sign? There are three primary types of listing agreements and each one offers a different level of service, rights, and responsibilities for both the real estate agent and the home seller. Exclusive Right to Sell Listing Agreement The Exclusive Right to Sell is the most commonly used listing contract. As its name implies, it gives the agency the exclusive right to sell your property. You pay a commission to the agency at closing no matter who buys the property, even if you find the buyer yourself. If an agency other than the listing ageny sells the home, the listing agency typically splits its total commission with the second agency. Exclusive Agency Agreement The Exclusive Agency listing contract also gives a specific agency the right to market and sell the property, but with one big difference—the seller retains the right to sell the property without paying a commission if he sells it to a buyer who was not introduced to the property by the agency. The listing agency shares its commission with another agency if the second agency brings a buyer. Open Listing In an open listing, no single agency has an exclusive on selling the property and the owner can sell it himself without paying a commission to anyone. A seller can sign an Open Listing with multiple agencies. If the seller does pay a commission, it's to the selling agency only. No commissions would be shared in an Open Listing scenario. Which Listing Contract is Best? Many agencies will only offer you an Exclusive Right to Sell agreement because it protects their investment. Good real estate agencies spend a great deal of time and money to market and sell their listings. It isn't worthwhile for them to sign an Exclusive Agency agreement, because it leaves you with the option of selling the house yourself at any time during the listing period—even after their marketing efforts are in full swing. There's also the question of which party truly introduced the buyer. Did the buyer come to you because she saw the agency's signs or advertising—and chose to bypass the agent? Sticking with an Exclusive Right to Sell solves that problem. Many agencies will sign an Open Listing, but don't expect any type of marketing from them. If they have a buyer they think might be interested, they'll show it, but they won't spend time and money to push a property that's listed by multiple agencies.

Please access the Turkish Embassy website: www.turkconsulate-london.com for more information.     RESIDENCE IN TURKEY     (a)    Residency Permits are obtained AFTER arrival in Turkey. Formal application must be made to the police authorities of the province in which you reside, or to the Aliens department of the Police in Ankara, if no fixed abode in Turkey is intended. HOWEVER, well BEFORE your departure from the UK, you should contact the Turkish Embassy in London for information on requirements for residency and for information about importation of your household goods or car. Please access the website www.turkey.org/consularservices/forms/. for further details.     (b)   A RESIDENCE PERMIT IS AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY BEFORE YOU CAN CLEAR ANY PERSONAL GOODS/CAR FROM TURKISH CUSTOMS. THEREFORE AN APPLICATION FOR A RESIDENCE PERMIT MUST BE MADE in Turkey within one month from the date of your arrival to Turkey.     (c)    On first application, residence permits may be issued for a two-year period, thereafter for a maximum of five years at any one time.     (d)   Please note that recent changes in Turkish legislation relating to the calculation of residence permit fees for foreigners living in Turkey, has resulted in huge increases, based on 50 million TL for the first month and 30 million for each subsequent month. For example, a 2 year, permit currently costs 740.000.000 TL plus a booklet fee of 65.000.000 TL, and a five year permit 1.820.000.000 TL, roughly equivalent to £335 and £785 respectively.     The Embassy has written to the Turkish authorities asking for a review, with a view to reducing these fees.         EMPLOYMENT IN TURKEY   A Work Permit is required for employment in Turkey.  These permits are issued by the Ministry of the Interior in Ankara.  We again strongly advise those wishing to take up employment in Turkey to contact, before travelling, the Turkish Embassy in London and/or their prospective employer in Turkey about the procedures for obtaining a Work Permit or access the Turkish work permit website www.csgb.gov.tr     REQUIREMENTS FOR TURKISH WORK VISAS     Companies seeking to employ UK nationals in Turkey must first obtain approval from the Turkish Ministry of Labour and Social Security to hire foreign citizen employees.  Prospective employers may obtain application forms for work permits at www.csgb.gov.tr. Completed applications should be returned to the Ministry of Labour and Social Security at Inonu Boulevard No 42, Eskisehir Yolu, Emek, Ankara, Tel: (0312) 296 60 00.   Upon approval from the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, the UK national, employment candidate must next apply for a Turkish work visa.  Work visa requirements, instructions and application forms are available through the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey website at: www.turkishconsulate.org.uk     PURCHASE OF PROPERTY IN TURKEY   "FLASH MESSAGE"   Current legislation applicable for foreigners, who wish to purchase land or property in Turkey, has been ruled to be unconstitutional by the Turkish Constitutional Court. The amended law, which was presented before the court, has unfortunately been rejected. Therefore, until the law is ratified and approved by the Parliament any applications made by the foreigners to the land registry office will NOT be processed. (as announced by the General Directorate of Land Registry Office on or about 26 July 2005)   Unfortunately, we have not been given a time scale when the matter may be resolved. If you have any further enquires the time scale, please contact the local land registry office for updated information.      PREVIOUS RULES FOR PURCHASE OF PROPERTY FOR GUIDANCE:   DO NOT PURCHASE PROPERTY WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING AN ENGLISH SPEAKING TURKISH LAWYER FOR BEST ADVICE.   The Embassy website: www.britishembassy.org.tr has details or access the Turkish Attorney's Paralegal online www.tapo.co.uk.   British citizens may purchase property in Turkey, subject to the following conditions:   (a) The property can be paid for in either Turkish lira or foreign currency. There are also no restrictions about the transfer of foreign currency or Turkish Lira from a Turkish or foreign bank.   (b) Applications should be made to the District Land Registry office (Tapu ve Kadastro Mudurlugu), when a suitable property for purchase is found.   A recent change in Turkish legislation (i.e. on 19 July 2003) now permits foreigners to buy a property outside the boundaries of a municipality, i.e. council district (Belediye) and within a village or rural area. However, it is still necessary to obtain permission from the Military, prior to purchase.   Note: Turkey and the UK have a bilateral agreement to avoid double taxation. Tax of the property in Turkey is payable to the Turkish tax authorities as the relevant law requires.     INVESTMENT IN TURKEY   5.      Prospective Investors, requiring information about the Manufacturing and Service Sectors may contact British Trade International, Turkey Trade Unit, Kingsgate House, 66-74 Victoria Street, London, SW1E 6SW, Tel: +44 (0) 207 215 5000, email: mick.essex@dti.gsi.gov.uk or www.tradepartners.gov.uk.    You may also contact The Turkish Authority responsible for foreign investment in Turkey, the General Directorate of Foreign Investment (GDFI): Hazine Mustesarligi, Yabanci Sermaye Genel Mudurlugu, Inonu Bulvari, 06510 Emek - Ankara, Tel: +90 (312) 204 60 00, Fax: 90 (312) 212 8916 email: ybsweb@pm.treasury.gov.tr or www.hazine.gov.tr/english/ybsweb/index.htm.    Other web sites you may find useful; -   The British Embassy, Ankara, Turkey www.britishembassy.org.tr   -         Prime Ministry, Undersecretariat of Foreign Trade www.foreigntrade.gov.tr   -         Prime Ministry, State Planning Organisation www.dpt.gov.tr   -         Foreign Economic Relations Board www.deik.org.tr   -         Association for Foreign Capital Coordination www.yased.org.tr   -         Privatisation Administration www.oib.gov.tr   -         Turkish Attorneys Paralegals Online www.tapo.co.uk/real estate law/default.asp   Those wishing to establish a business in Turkey should consult a Turkish lawyer.
