Property in Istanbul

Investment Property in Istanbul is in huge demand from both foreign investors and Istanbul’s increasing business population.  A record number of businesses are now establishing bases in Istanbul, and it is fast becoming a regional centre for global companies such as Coca Cola, General Electric, Microsoft, Proctor and Gamble. 

The influx of foreign companies is creating well paid jobs and bringing increasing affluence to the city. This in turn is creating a demand for high quality properties, which is fuelling demand for high end properties, inflating rental yields and forcing residential and office property prices ever higher.

These factors coupled with a rapidly growing GDP, new mortgage market, housing shortage and tourist boom are just some of the reasons why Istanbul topped a recent Urban Land.
