#Istanbul #Turkey #Property
We are so happy to publish this highly requested video detailing all the renovation costs we paid when we renovated our duplex in Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷 !
Back in July 2021 we bought a duplex in Istanbul, this was our first property in Turkey. Renovating the property was a bit challenging since we both are expats and do not speak the language, but thankfully we met Keith Boyle - our agent, and Angelina - our renovation specialist, who helped us navigate the buying and the renovation process.
In this video we had the pleasure of sitting down with our renovation specialist in Istanbul, Turkey and discussing all the costs associated with renovating a property in Istanbul.
We hope this video brings value to anyone looking to buy and renovate a property in Turkey and doesn't know who to call or where to start.
Please let us know if you have any questions in the comment section below, we will be more than happy to hopefully provide you guys with the answers you're looking for :)

Hey guys! We know you have been waiting for this video for such a long time, we FINALLY published it ! Thank you for sending us your questions about our property here in Turkey and the renovation cost. We tried to cover as much as possible in this video. Let us know what you think, we'd LOVE to hear from you
The trend seems to be 1) Non-Turkish Realtors/Contractors 2) Renovations instead of New/Off Plan. Any insight into why this is the pattern I notice from those actually buying property in Istanbul?
why not just tell people what you paid for the condo?
Great info thank you ….looking forward to see all finished..smart do top of line

Fantastic video. Enjoyed all the content. When is it going to be available to rent?

Great info! I love how modern it is and all the windows. Awesome decision to add a terrace. Watching this video makes me want to buy a property in Turkey! Can’t wait to see a video when it’s finished!
Love the show
Thank you for watching Eric ☺️🙏
Thank you for this useful video. I didn't find the contact information of this renovation company
Hi. Thank you for your all the information But i heard Air bnb is illegal to do with foreign passport. Am i right?
great vid what was the cost of vacant apartment
Hi Guys. Did I miss how much you paid for the flat itself?
That was the reason I came here. But no. Lol
Hi How much does it cost 2 bad room I nded low cost
How much you bought the property itself ?
thank you for the very informative video. Appreciate if can provide the link or the information of the renovation company name or website for reference/reach them, 👌 thank you
Hi Chris, thank you 😊 You can find the link in the description 👇
Awesome video can you please please share how you finance the purchase of the property did you buy it out right or it finance via a mortgage in Turkey. Please share contact details for the lady/ renovation project manager.
Hello Naveed! Thank you for watching our video! We used cash to buy the property and finance the renovations. Cash is mostly used to buy properties since the interest on mortgages isn’t that appealing in Turkey. You can find Angelina’s contact info in the description here. You can also visit www.mybricksrealestate.com that’s her company. Best of luck !!
🥳🇹🇷❤️💪🏼
What kind of fee or percentage did your general contractor charge you?
Hey Stephen, they charged 10%. The range here in Turkey is anywhere from 10-18%. Obviously depending on how large the team is and how much experience they have.
Hi I’m planning to move to turkey in July possibly I was wondering if you have any tips on generating income
I schooled in that area, just bring your own money. no income generation in Turkey.. find a remote job, that lets you work from anywhere and then go live in Turkey. good luck.
Need a link for the lady contractor please
Hi Nadia, thank you for watching the video! The link to Angelina’s website is in the description below 👇
50k is pretty steep for a reno but if you made a profit that's great... Keep going!! 😂
that's only $22k USD today
Too expensive......
First I thought the same but after watching the work they have done in the apartment actually not too bad, this is not a simple renovation . The best part of this you don't have to deal with the construction workers they are horrible in general.
she is too expensive.. I went with local craftsmen, and it was one third of her cost..
