How to sell your property in Istanbul
Our seller journey starts with an initial review of your property, goals and timing, then moves to a realistic valuation based on Istanbul market conditions and your building profile.
Once we agree the strategy, we help prepare key documents, launch professional marketing, coordinate buyer viewings and report back with feedback that supports pricing decisions.
When offers arrive, we negotiate terms in line with your priorities, coordinate due diligence and support the title deed transfer process so the sale completes smoothly.
Free Istanbul property valuation
Our free valuation combines recent comparable listings and sales where available with on-the-ground insight from active buyer demand in your micro-location.
We assess building age and condition, floor level, view quality, layout efficiency and any outdoor space, then adjust for demand from end-users and investors. We also consider rental and investment potential to recommend a defensible asking range for today’s Istanbul market.
Typical timeline for selling property in Istanbul
Every sale moves at a different pace depending on district, price point, property condition and buyer demand. We keep you updated at each stage so decisions stay clear and practical.
Initial review and valuation
We review your property details, location, key documents and seller goals, then agree an indicative valuation range for the current market.
Listing requirements and document check
Before launch, we usually verify tapu, ID/passport, tax number, DASK where applicable, iskan where relevant, mortgage or debt checks, and power of attorney documentation for overseas owners.
Marketing preparation
We prepare professional photos, video where suitable, floor plans, bilingual listing copy and a launch pricing strategy aligned with your timeline.
Launch and qualified viewings
Your listing goes live, buyer enquiries are screened, and viewings are arranged with you, your tenant or your caretaker as needed.
Offer negotiation
We compare offers by price, payment terms, deposit structure, timing and buyer readiness so you can choose the strongest path to completion.
Contract, legal checks and tapu transfer
We coordinate with your lawyer through contract checks, title deed office steps, final payment and handover, while keeping communication consistent until completion.
Before we list your property, we usually review:
- Tapu/title deed and ownership details
- Building age, condition and occupancy/tenant status
- Asking price expectations and launch strategy
- DASK and iskan where relevant
- Debts, mortgages or site-management dues

Seller fees, taxes and commission

We provide practical sale guidance, but formal tax and legal advice should come from your lawyer or accountant.
