Transparency to the extreme


Being a home owner in Turkey also means being part of an owners association.
In larger complexes the amount of money being paid each year to the owners association is quite significant.

 It is therefor absolutely necessary that the accounting books of the complex are done properly and professionally.

 We here give you a list of which reports you as an apartment owner should have access to:

 Profit and Loss statementShowing all income and expenses during a particular period - often the current accounting year of the complex - the profit and loss will tell you if the complex is spending more money than it receives. Also you will be able to see how the money is spend account by account.

 Balance sheet
Is a summary of the current financial situation at a specific time. It will show you the balance on each cash and bank account and also how much money is being owed to the owners union and how much the owners union owes to others.

 These are the two main financial reports that will tell you how your owners union is doing.

One of the more usual problems in relation to owners unions, are owners who do not pay their monthly fees or are paying them late. And we guess knowing who they are is of common general interest.

 We therefor also recommend you to take a look at the financial report named Customer balances, since this report will provide you with a list of names including their total debts (our credit, if any).

 Finally, you should at least once a month get access to all details related to each expense account as well as in- and out going money on both bank and petty cash accounts.

 The big question here is actually:
Do you have access to any parts of the accounting of your owners union at all? 

 Our experience is that most property administrators do not even share simple reports such as Profit and Loss or Balance sheets with the owners nor do they provide detailed access and information to account balances.

 The result is that you as property owner has no chance of knowing how the money you pay is being spend, and you have no possibility what so ever to control any part of the finances of your complex.

 At 2Base Estate Agency we do simply not believe in this kind of poor management. 
This is why we are now offering all apartment owners in complexes we administrate direct, unlimited and instant access to all details of the accounting books of the complex.

We provide a login to our accounting program, where you can view all invoices, expenses, receipts, postings on cash and bank accounts as well as access to all necessary reports such as the ones mentioned above.

 This is what we call transparent and professional property management.

Then contact us and we will be more than happy to offer our services also for your complex....

Hottest topic of Alanya is about your guests

  Recently the most discussed topics related to real estate in Alanya is without doubt the amendments to the law about short time rental of privately owned property. This has led to several other discussions that are also relevant for owners of private properties that do not rent out their property. Mainly two questions are being discussed.... - When are people that are staying in my property to be considered as commercial rentals? and - Must I register my guests with the local authorities and how is that done?   On social media platforms a fierce discussion has been going on. So far most information available has been 3rd party information such as "according to.... ", "we were told that... ", "local authorities said that... " and so on. In this blog post we will take a slightly different approach. We will take a look at the actual laws and form an opinion based on what the laws and regulations say. Before we start please note this carefully: - This inform...

Good advice when issuing a power of attorney

Good advice when issuing a power of attorney This is usually worth considering when buying or selling real estate or when you are in need of an accountant or a lawyer. Quite often, it can be useful and time-saving to issue a power of attorney to a third party, who can then act on your behalf. The process itself is simple and fast, and alone in and around Alanya there are almost ten different notary offices to choose from. These are the most important issues to remember when issuing a power of attorney: Only issue powers of attorney to persons that you trust and that you know who they are. Make sure that the power of attorney is specific and for your exact purpose only. When selling your property via power of attorney, the exact registration and location must be specified. When selling a car, the licence plate and registration must be specified and so on. If it serves a purpose, consider making a time-limited power of attorney. Use a professional translator whom you unde...

Size of a Turkish squaremeter

  This time, we will examine something that should seem quite simple: the size of a square meter. First, let's see what Wikipedia has to say on the subject: The square meter is a unit of area. It is defined as the area of a square whose sides measure exactly one meter. For those particularly interested in the subject, it is worth noting that one square meter equals 0.000001 square kilometers or 10,000 square centimeters. One question Wikipedia does not answer is the size of a Turkish square meter. Experience has taught us that one European square meter and one Turkish square meter are not equal. This is most obvious when we receive the floor plans for the units we promote. These are often quite exaggerated, and we often see 2-bedroom apartments listed as 150 square meters. However, visiting the apartment in question often reveals a different story. In other words, the 150-square-meter apartment turns out to be just 100 square meters. The main reasons for this are: - In Turkey, info...
