A practical Istanbul property-viewing checklist

A repeatable way to look beyond the photos and record what deserves follow-up.

01

Before you arrive

Confirm the exact meeting point, asking price in both working currencies, basic dimensions and the listing reference. Decide which points are non-negotiable for you.

02

Inside the property

Note daylight, orientation, noise, ventilation, storage, circulation, finishes and anything that requires repair. Separate observation from assumptions.

03

Questions to verify later

Building, title, occupancy, structural, seismic, tax and legal questions should be documented and checked with the appropriately qualified professionals rather than guessed during a viewing.
