Selling Property in Turkey

Buying property in Turkey is increasingly popular with people from across Europe. For this reason, selling property in Turkey is big business. At present many of the agents are directly linked to developers, so they are focused on selling new builds rather than existing properties.

However, this website focuses on selling both existing properties and new builds and is only too happy to assist you in improving your chances of selling your Turkish property.

Your property is a bricks and mortar investment and for that reason you wish to see its value rise so that when you decide to sell, it gets the highest price possible. Ensure that the property is well maintained throughout your ownership, consider the things that you looked for when you were purchasing a property and try to ensure it measures up to this. Choose a good estate agent in Turkey, someone who speaks your language well, it is essential in all negotiations that you understand each step, and each tiny issue in detail. A good agent will also help you set a selling price, something realistic but fair. Too high and you will scare off potential interest and too low and you are giving away your investment too easily.

When the agent is showing your property, it’s best to disappear. You’ve chosen the right agent to help you in selling your property, let them do their thing! Let the interested party imagine themselves in their new home. For this reason, remove all unnecessary items but maintain the feeling of the place. Make sure the property is clean, people are still suckers for a lovely smell, but don’t overpower them with disinfectant, coffee beans, bread or apple pie, these are all obvious and well known ‘tricks of the trade’ and we don’t recommend them. Use neutralising air fresheners that kill nasty smells but avoid those that deaden the sense of smell of your visitors. There are excellent quality air freshening products on the market, don’t scrimp; this is an investment in selling your property in Turkey. However, gentle aromas can help make a property feel inviting. Don’t fill the place with flowers or throw open all the windows. Don’t try to hide any problems, fix these before you even have the place valued. Remove your pets and any children.

Make sure that you have all of the correct original paperwork for your purchase of the property and that you have it in both your own language and in Turkish and that you paid for the services of a high quality translator. Small language differences could undo you if anything went to a Turkish court. Insist that the agent does the same when selling your property; everything should be in Turkish and your native tongue.

Turkish properties are very popular, with gorgeous beaches, fantastic countryside and easy access to many areas of the country from a range of airports. It’s an excellent time to purchase property, so also an excellent time to sell your existing property and consider trading up for that villa with a pool that you’ve been dreaming of. Don’t forget, take on the advice of qualified and experience sales agents, don’t try to go it alone, their business is getting you an excellent price and a smooth transition, make use of these services.
