Own property in Istanbul but live elsewhere? Pera acts as your local property manager, handling tenants, repairs, inspections and the day-to-day work while keeping you informed and in control.
Managing an Istanbul property from another country is rarely difficult when everything is going well. The problem is dealing with the things that need somebody on the ground: a new tenant, a repair, a building-management issue, an inspection, a missed payment or a property that needs preparing before it can be rented.
Pera provides that local point of contact. Our Istanbul team can manage the tenancy from initial rental valuation through to renewal or check-out, with important decisions and third-party costs referred back to you for approval.
The difference is simple. Lettings Only gets the tenancy established. Full Management keeps Pera involved as your local property manager after the tenant moves in.

For owners who want Pera to find and establish a suitable tenant, but are comfortable managing the property themselves once the tenancy begins.
12 % zzgl. MwSt.
For overseas owners and landlords who want an Istanbul-based team to remain responsible for the day-to-day tenancy and property coordination.
Bespoke
For owners who use their Istanbul property themselves but need somebody local to look after it while they are away.
We can become involved before the property is advertised and remain involved for the full tenancy if you choose Full Management.
This is where local management matters most. Instead of trying to solve an Istanbul property problem from another country, you have a team here that can establish what has happened, speak to the relevant people and coordinate the next step.
We follow up with the tenant, establish the reason for the delay and keep you informed if further action is required.
We assess the issue, coordinate contractors and obtain approval before chargeable third-party work proceeds.
We can communicate locally about practical building-management and property matters and explain anything that requires your decision.
We coordinate communication, the property check and handover, then discuss the most practical route to getting the property rented again.
Not every property needs a tenant. Many overseas owners bought an Istanbul apartment or villa for their own use and simply need somebody they trust to take care of it between visits.
An empty home still needs attention. A leak, power issue, building notice or maintenance problem is much easier to deal with when somebody can physically visit the property. We can provide an Istanbul-based point of contact, arrange scheduled checks and coordinate access when work is required.
Whether the property is rented or kept for your own use, the value of management is having somebody in Istanbul who knows the property and can coordinate practical issues when you cannot be here.
We can attend the property or coordinate agreed access when an inspection, contractor visit or practical issue requires somebody on site.
We can obtain information or quotes, coordinate the work and keep you updated rather than leaving you to manage contractors remotely.
You remain the decision-maker. We handle the local execution and refer material decisions and chargeable third-party work to you for approval.

Practical questions about long-term rental management and looking after an Istanbul home while you are overseas.
Yes. The service is designed for owners who need a reliable local point of contact in Istanbul. We can manage a long-term tenancy or look after a second home that is not rented.
No. Second Home Care is for owner-occupied apartments and villas that need local oversight while the owner is away. The scope is agreed around the property and the level of support you require.
Lettings Only is for finding, screening and establishing the tenant. Full Management keeps Pera involved after move-in as the local contact for the ongoing tenancy, property issues and tenant communication.
We can establish the issue, coordinate suitable contractors and keep you updated. Chargeable third-party work is referred to you for approval unless a different authority has been agreed in advance.
Our Lettings Only service is 8% + VAT and Full Management is 12% + VAT. Second Home Care is quoted separately because the required level of inspection, access and ongoing property support varies considerably between homes.
