Buying
Finding flats, arranging viewings and making offers, then the valuation, the earthquake insurance and the signing at the tapu office.
Buying Bostancı real estate goes better with someone who knows the ground on foot. We specialise in this one mahalle, so we can tell you which station an advert means, which side of a block faces the water, and when “Bostancı” in an advert turns out to be a different mahalle on the deed.
Bostancı is the easternmost mahalle of Kadıköy district, about 1.8 km² with 32,415 residents at the end of 2024. It is the district’s transport node on the east side: Marmaray stops at its railway station, two metro stations carry its name and a pier stands on the shore. Streets that sit close together can still differ in the age of their blocks, in noise and in light.
Nobody on another continent can sense any of this from a listing. Reading it for you, one street after another, is the work we care about most.
Whoever you buy through, the title deed deserves a check against the official register. The Land Registry (TKGM) website explains the Land Registry’s procedures.
No flat is shown here until we have checked who owns it, whether the deed carries an annotation, whether the building has its occupancy permit and whether debts are outstanding. That way a problem does not appear once you have set your heart on the rooms.
Each listing states its gross area, rooms and deed status. A fact we have not confirmed reads “Ask us” in place of a guess.
On a video call we also show the stairwell, the outlook, the street and the walk to the pier or the nearest station, because daily life depends on them as much as on the layout.
Each stage is explained in simple terms, starting with the tax number, and we book the translator and gather the documents alongside you.
