Start with your daily routine

Identify where work, university and family activities will take place before choosing a home in Istanbul. Examine the journey from the actual property to your daily destinations. Prioritise room requirements, outdoor space and building amenities.

Compare the details consistently

Record net and gross area, floor arrangement, lift access, heating, service charges and building maintenance. In a duplex, inspect how both levels, stairs and the terrace work together. Our Bakırköy Kartaltepe listing offers a concrete starting point for buyers seeking space for family life.

From shortlist to purchase

Share your budget and visit dates, then select properties for inspection. Arrange professional checks of title and building documents, the scope of sale and payment terms. Foreign buyers should check current, case-specific transaction steps with TKGM.
