How to structure an Istanbul property search

A clear brief makes comparison easier and reduces wasted viewings.

01

Start with purpose

Clarify whether the property is for your own use, rental use or part of a broader investment plan. Purpose changes the weight you give to location, layout, timing and liquidity.

02

Compare consistently

Use the same criteria for every property: total cost, district and micro-location, usable space, building facts, transport, recurring costs and items that still need verification.

03

Verify before commitment

Before commitment, current property facts and regulated matters should be checked with the relevant qualified legal, tax, technical or financial professionals.
