Buying Property in Turkey? Discover How the Government Now Controls Transactions and Protects Your Investment
In 2025, Turkey’s real estate market entered a new era of digital transparency.
The Ministry of Finance and the Revenue Administration (GİB) launched a groundbreaking property analysis system — MEVA (Mekansal Veri Analiz Sistemi).
Its goal: to detect under-declared property prices and bring more clarity and fairness to the housing market.
🧠 Using AI and big data, the government can now track who is paying taxes — and who isn't.
What Is the MEVA System — and Why Should Buyers Care?
MEVA is a geo-information system developed by GİB that integrates data from multiple official sources:
- cadastral records (WebTapu)
- property valuation reports (TADEBİS)
- mortgage data from banks
- tax declarations and residency records
- online listings and advertisements
It compares the declared sale price with the actual market value — in real time.
How MEVA Works: Digital Oversight in Numbers
In its 2025 pilot phase, MEVA analyzed over 16,000 property transactions. The results were striking:
- 9,150 individuals received official queries
- 2,475 voluntarily corrected their sale values
- The state collected 113.9 million TRY in unpaid duties — with no penalties
❗ Those who failed to respond faced full tax audits. If violations were found, a 25% fine was applied.
Rentals Are Also Under Control
MEVA now tracks rental listings too. Authorities can see which properties are being rented without tax declarations.
💬 Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek said:
“Every tax inspector can now view all properties in their district via map. This gives us full visibility over sales and rental activity.”
Why MEVA Matters for Buyers and Investors
✅ You pay a real market-based price, not a lowball figure “on paper”
✅ Fewer risks when applying for residency or citizenship through real estate
✅ Greater market transparency and safety
✅ Enhanced legal protection for foreign buyers
MEVA Is Part of Turkey’s Digital Property Reform
Alongside MEVA, Turkey is developing “Değer Bilgi Merkezi” and “3D Şehir Modelleri” — official AI-powered real estate valuation tools using 3D city models.
