Q10: Habitation Certificate Costs
Q10: What costs are involved with obtaining a habitation certificate - I am being charged 1350TL for a property on Alexander Hills - is this normal?
A10: The builder sorts it when the site is completed to ensure he has built to plans and not made any changes. No-one I know who owns new property over the last 10 years has had to make payment for this. I suggest you check your contract and speak to an independent lawyer. I have heard one site had to dismantle some sheds (7 of them) to be able to get their certificate as they were not on the plans. --Dawn, Simply Villa Management
