If you are a foreign Turkish property owner who has a holiday house, or an expat residing in the country permanently, there can come a day when you contemplate selling, either for personal or financial reasons. Naturally, you would want to know how to sell your property in Turkey fast and for the money you desire
It is vital to re-enter the Turkish real estate market fully armed with knowledge because your Turkish property is one of your most valuable net worth assets. Here at Esales, we have helped many foreign property owners sell their properties in Turkey, and there are unique reasons why some sell quicker than others and why some owners obtain the price they are asking for, without having to accept offers.
How to Sell Your House in Turkey
Below are some recommendations to help you sell your property in Turkey fast and for the price you desire, but there are two things to remember as well.
Some older Turkish dwellings may not have an Iskan (habitation certificate.) In certain situations, these residences are on a higher tariff for utility bills, which quickly turns off purchasers. Also, Turkish banks will not provide mortgages for properties without an Iskan, therefore a big sector of the property searching market is prohibited to you. If you opt to sell your property in Turkey without an Iskan, potential purchasers will ask for a huge discount to offset the expense of applying for it.
Secondly, if everything is in place, and your property is properly cared after, as well as presented at an acceptable price, be prepared to move swiftly. The selling procedure of properties in Turkey goes at a faster rate than that of other nations, and if your buyer is a Turk with ready cash, the transaction will just take one to two days at the most.

Get your documents in order
Gather your property’s title deeds, an Iskan (habitation certificate), a notarized translation of your passport’s biographical data, your Turkish tax identification number, and two passport images. Council tax and flat aidat, if applicable, must also be paid up to date at the time of sale.
Fix all leakages
Fix any issues that have arisen, such as damaged cabinets, leaking faucets, or sticky shower heads. Is it time to paint the house? It’s also a good opportunity to clean everything from the walls and floors to the storage bins and chairs.
De-personalise
Buyers are turned off most strongly by a house that they can’t picture themselves living in. Put away the kid’s art and the family photographs. Simultaneously, clear the clutter from your dwelling. All of these will help the buyer picture themselves living in the home.
Trained Photographers Only
Potential buyers will be immediately drawn in by the high quality of the professional images, which showcase the home in its finest light. Investing in a professional photographer is a good idea if you aren’t confident in your own photographic abilities. It also important to write a good product description of your building. You can hire an Anglo writers to help with great house sale description that sparks interst in the buyers
