This page explains what drives value in the complex, how we handle the service charge and how letting or selling works from abroad. Our office is in Bahçelievler, and we value flats here from this complex's own comparables, not from a Kağıthane average.

What drives value in this complex

Mevsim İstanbul Kağıthane is compact: three 10-storey blocks with 181 flats, plus 30 loft flats that form a market of their own. Layouts run from a 93 m² 2+1 to a 257 m² 3+1, so 'what does a 3+1 go for?' has no single answer. What moves the price, in order of weight:

  • Loft or standard flat. There are only 30 lofts, so a loft is priced from the few that have let or sold. A standard flat of the same size is not its comparable. We ask about it before anything else.
  • Size, not the layout name. A 2+1 here can be anywhere from 93 to 152 m², and a 3+1 from 143 to 257 m². The largest 2+1s are bigger than the smallest 3+1s, and the largest 3+1s outsize every 4+1 (249–255 m²). So we compare by size first and room count second.
  • Block, floor and the forest view. The developer describes the complex as having Belgrad Forest views. In 10-storey blocks, whether a given flat has that view comes down to its block, floor and aspect. Two flats of the same layout can be priced well apart on that alone.
  • Built for households. There are no studios or 1+1s: the smallest flat is a 93 m² 2+1. So the complex does not compete for single tenants; its flats suit couples and families. Those tenancies tend to run longer, but finding the right household takes longer too.
  • Timing. With Nişantaşı University about 1.5 km away, applicants tied to it start looking before the academic year begins. A flat that comes free in spring can wait longer for the right tenant, and an empty month's rent does not come back.

The neighbouring complexes the portals show alongside Mevsim İstanbul Kağıthane (Dora Vadi, Porta Vadi, Anıl Park Evleri, Pelit Levent) are useful for orientation, but they are not like-for-like comparables. So we value from inside the complex and give you the figure in writing, with its comparison table, rather than publishing a public "complex price".

Service charge (aidat): we confirm the figure before the advert goes live

We do not publish a service-charge figure for Mevsim İstanbul Kağıthane on this page. The charge is set by the management, changes at least once a year and differs by layout; copying an old figure off the internet is the sort of mistake every owner in the complex would catch at a glance. What we do instead: before the advert is written we get that month's figure for your layout from the management, put it in the advert, and quote the same number to every applicant who asks at a viewing.

This matters more than it sounds. After the rent, the service charge is the first thing an applicant asks about, and one that is missing from the advert starts a negotiation you did not need. In a Turkish tenancy the tenant normally pays it; the detail is in our guide on who pays the aidat. If you already know your complex's current figure, put it in the note with your valuation request and we will work from it.

What being next to the TEM in Hamidiye is worth

Mevsim İstanbul Kağıthane sits in Hamidiye, on Alp Sokak, and the developer places it next to the TEM motorway. What shapes the tenant pool here is access. Maslak is about 7 km away, the Axis AVM shopping centre about 2.5 km and Nişantaşı University about 1.5 km.

Being within reach of Maslak's office towers widens the pool to people who work there and want a family-size flat outside the business district. The university widens it to academic and administrative staff and, if you accept them, students sharing one of the larger flats.

For an owner, the first decision is whether to accept sharers. They widen the pool for the larger layouts, but they change the wear on the flat and how the lease is written. The second is the advert, which has to sell the commute as well as the flat. A Maslak commuter asks about the drive; a family asks about the indoor pool, the play areas and parking.

The complex is complete, with central heating and underfloor heating. In the valuation we ask whether the kitchen and bathrooms are still as delivered, which appliances stay with the flat, and its exact size.

Thinking of selling?

A sale at Mevsim İstanbul Kağıthane differs from a letting in two ways, and each can work for or against you:

  • There is little to compare with, so the evidence has to be exact. A complex this size sees few sales in a year, and a loft may have no recent sale to compare with at all. We start from sales in your block and size band. Where those run thin, we add the neighbouring complexes the portals show, adjusted line by line.
  • Your competition is other owners, not the developer. The portals show the project as 100% sold, so there is no developer stock left to undercut you. A buyer lines up owners' flats side by side. The price has to come from achieved sales rather than asking prices, or the listing sits.

Tick "sell it" on the valuation request and the appraisal comes back with sale comparables rather than rental ones, or with both if you are undecided. Worth reading first: selling your Istanbul property from abroad and why the declared price on the deed matters.

How it works if you live abroad

In a branded complex like Mevsim İstanbul Kağıthane a large share of owners do not live in Istanbul. The process is built to run remotely from the start, and you do not need to travel:

  • Valuation. A written market appraisal (not an SPK report) within one business day, from the layout, gross and net area, floor, aspect, kitchen and bathroom condition, air-conditioning and furnishing. If you are undecided between letting and selling we give you both figures; we have also written on what a yield actually tells you.
  • Keys. If the keys are with a relative in Istanbul, the site management or a property-management firm, we collect them against your signed key release letter and issue a handover record.
  • Listing authorisation. The e-Devlet (EİDS) authorisation takes two minutes and can be granted from abroad.
  • If your title deed does not show in e-Devlet. Bought as a foreigner and later became a Turkish citizen? The deed usually stays under your old identity, and the listing authorisation cannot be given. We run the identity match and then the removal of the three-year no-sale annotation for you. We have completed both in a single day at the land registry.
  • Photography and advertising. Professional photography, a boosted listing on our sahibinden.com store and applicant pre-screening; we run the viewings and send you a note after each one.
  • Lease and collection. Rent is paid through a bank. For signature there are three routes: a power of attorney at your nearest Turkish consulate, a wet-ink copy by courier, or the e-Devlet rental contract. On a sale the deed transfer runs on a power of attorney; see selling from abroad.

Finding a tenant costs you nothing: the letting fee is paid by the tenant. On a sale you pay our fee only when the sale completes, and we do not ask for exclusivity. If you want us to run the flat after the letting, property management starts at 5% of the rent collected: rent, repairs, the compulsory DASK earthquake insurance and the property-tax calendar in one place.

Frequently Asked

Questions about Mevsim İstanbul Kağıthane

What do apartments at Mevsim İstanbul Kağıthane rent or sell for?

We do not publish a public 'complex price'. A 3+1 here can be 143 m² or 257 m², and 30 of the flats are lofts with a market of their own. One figure would mislead. Send us your block, floor, layout, size and whether the flat is a loft. Within one business day we reply with a written market appraisal (not an SPK report). It is yours alone and is never published.

Which Mevsim İstanbul is this page about?

The Kağıthane one, in Hamidiye. Mevsim İstanbul is Sarılar İnşaat's brand for several projects, including completed ones in Çengelköy, Başakşehir and Bahçeşehir. The portals list the Kağıthane complex under the plain brand name, so a search for the name alone can bring up any of them. When we advertise a flat here, 'Kağıthane' goes in the title and the listing is filed under Hamidiye, so the right buyers and tenants find it.

How much is the aidat (the building's monthly service charge) at Mevsim İstanbul Kağıthane?

We do not publish one. The management sets it and revises it at least once a year, and it differs by layout. Before your advert is written we get that month's figure for your layout and put it in the advert. The tenant normally pays it; the service-charge section above explains why the figure matters.

Nişantaşı University is nearby. Will students apply, and should I accept them?

The university is about 1.5 km away, and the complex has no studios or 1+1s. A student applying here would most likely be sharing a 2+1 or 3+1. Accepting sharers is your call: the section above sets out what they change, and we settle it with you before the advert goes live. If you would rather not, we write the advert for couples and families.

I live abroad — can you let or sell my apartment for me?

Yes, without you having to travel. Wherever the keys are, we collect them with your signed authorisation and record the handover in writing. The listing authorisation takes two minutes on e-Devlet. The lease can be signed three ways: consular power of attorney, a wet-ink copy by courier, or an e-Devlet rental contract. On a sale, the deed transfer runs on a power of attorney. On a letting the tenant pays our fee; on a sale you pay only when it completes; we do not ask for exclusivity.
