Compensation
How we are paid
You do not pay Weldenor a commission or a separate advisory fee. This page explains the arrangement plainly, and the rules that keep it out of what we show you.

The disclosure, in full
Weldenor charges buyers no commission and no separate advisory fee; it is remunerated under its arrangements with the developers whose projects it presents. That remuneration does not change the statutory investment threshold and is not an input to what we present to you.
This is the same sentence that renders beside every request for a consultation, on every property, and in the footer. It is held in one place so that it cannot be softened in the places where it is least convenient.
1. What you do not pay Weldenor
Three statements, each of them checkable against your own file:
- No buyer brokerage commission. Weldenor does not charge the buyer a brokerage commission.
- No separate advisory fee. Weldenor does not charge the buyer a separate fee for its advisory work.
- Citizenship-process support is included. The coordination Weldenor provides around the citizenship-related purchase journey is part of that journey, not a separately charged service.
Your purchase agreement is concluded directly between you and the developer of the project you buy into. Weldenor is not a party to it.
2. What remains payable — and to whom
Our arrangement does not make the transaction free of cost. Statutory, governmental, notarial, legal, translation, valuation and other third-party fees and costs remain payable by the buyer where applicable — the title-deed fee, the official valuation fee, notarisation and sworn translation, your own lawyer’s fee, and taxes. These are set by the state or by the professionals concerned, not by us, and none of them is a Weldenor charge.
One regulatory point matters here and is easy to miss: the amount that counts toward the statutory investment threshold is the property price alone. VAT, commission, expenses, taxes and fees are expressly excluded from the currency-purchase certificate. Budget the threshold and the costs as two numbers, not one.
3. How Weldenor is remunerated
Weldenor is remunerated under its commercial arrangements with the developers whose projects it presents. That remuneration is not added to your price by Weldenor, does not form part of the statutory investment amount, and is not contingent on any citizenship decision — the grant is a discretionary decision of the Turkish state, and no private party’s fee may lawfully depend on influencing it.
We do not publish the commercial terms of individual developer arrangements, for the same reason a buyer’s file is not published: they are contractual. What we publish instead is the discipline in section 4, which is the part that affects you.
4. Remuneration is not an input to what we present
The Weldenor Register is a curated selection: projects are admitted against published criteria (see our review methodology), and only admitted projects appear. Within that register:
- Remuneration is not an admission criterion. A project enters the Register by meeting the admission criteria, and for no other reason.
- Remuneration is not a presentation input. Which projects and apartments we show you is matched to your stated requirements — location, budget, purchase objective, property-type conditions relevant to your route — and to the state of each project’s review file. Fee terms are not among those inputs.
- No paid placement. There are no featured slots, no sponsored positions, and no purchasable prominence of any kind.
- The review record does not answer to remuneration. A verification finding is published as found. An outstanding check is shown as outstanding, and an expired one as expired, whatever the commercial context.
The honest boundary of these commitments: they govern the projects we carry. The Register is a selection, not a survey of the Turkish market, and we do not claim to have compared what we carry against everything we do not.
5. The regulatory frame
Real-estate trading in Türkiye is a regulated activity, and how its framework characterises a developer-remunerated advisory arrangement is a legal question, not a marketing one. We take independent Turkish legal advice on that characterisation and on the wording of the disclosures on this site, and this page is updated whenever that advice changes what we may or must say. What does not depend on any characterisation is the substance above: what you pay us — nothing — and where our remuneration comes from.
6. How to challenge us
If you believe something we presented to you was driven by our commercial arrangement rather than by your requirements and the review file, say so — in reply to any message from us, or through the consultation page. We will produce the matching record: what you asked for, what we showed you, and the review status of each entry at the time.
