Property management in Istanbul for overseas owners

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.

Your property manager is in Istanbul when you are not

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.

  • Istanbul-based property manager and owner support
  • Tenant sourcing, screening and tenancy coordination
  • Repairs, contractors and property inspections
  • Rent, renewal and tenant communication support
  • Clear owner approval before third-party costs are committed
Property management in Istanbul for overseas owners

Do you need a tenant or full property management?

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.

From an empty property to an established tenancy

We can become involved before the property is advertised and remain involved for the full tenancy if you choose Full Management.

1) Assess the property

We assess the property, building and local rental market, then give you realistic rental guidance before marketing begins.

2) Prepare and market

We identify practical preparation required for letting, arrange the marketing and manage enquiries and viewings.

3) Select the tenant

Applicants are screened and the proposed tenant and commercial terms are presented to you before a tenancy is agreed.

4) Establish the tenancy

We coordinate the tenancy agreement, deposit, handover and the practical steps required for the tenant to move in.

5) Manage the tenancy

With Full Management, Pera remains the local contact for tenant communication, payment follow-up, inspections, maintenance and contractor coordination.

6) Renew or check out

We coordinate renewal discussions or the move-out process, including property checks and the next steps for re-letting where required.

What happens when there is a problem?

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.

A tenant pays late

We follow up with the tenant, establish the reason for the delay and keep you informed if further action is required.

Something needs repairing

We assess the issue, coordinate contractors and obtain approval before chargeable third-party work proceeds.

The building contacts the owner

We can communicate locally about practical building-management and property matters and explain anything that requires your decision.

The tenant wants to leave

We coordinate communication, the property check and handover, then discuss the most practical route to getting the property rented again.

Property management for your Istanbul second home

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.

  • Periodic visual checks and owner updates
  • Key holding and agreed property access
  • Contractor access and repair coordination
  • Communication on practical building-management matters
  • Pre-arrival checks and property preparation by agreement

One local contact for your Istanbul property

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.

Property access

We can attend the property or coordinate agreed access when an inspection, contractor visit or practical issue requires somebody on site.

Maintenance coordination

We can obtain information or quotes, coordinate the work and keep you updated rather than leaving you to manage contractors remotely.

Owner control

You remain the decision-maker. We handle the local execution and refer material decisions and chargeable third-party work to you for approval.

Istanbul property management FAQ

Practical questions about long-term rental management and looking after an Istanbul home while you are overseas.

Can you manage my Istanbul property if I live 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.

Do I have to rent out my property to use your management service?

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.

What is the difference between Lettings Only and Full Management?

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.

What happens if a repair is needed while I am abroad?

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.

How much does property management cost?

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.
