Residential neighborhood features and infrastructure

One of the most important features that must be available in the area where you want to buy an apartment is that it is far from the sources of annoyance , such that the residents of the neighborhood love calm and that the apartment is not on the main street and the existence of a line for transportation and that there are no commercial stores on the ground floor.

You also have to check the quality of the electrical, sanitary and heating and gas extensions. You can ask if there is a parking garage for construction and test the elevator if your apartment is on the high floors, as well as the emergency exit.

Humidity and ventilation in the project

Pay attention to humidity, ventilation, and lighting, as three basic points before purchasing a property in Turkey. As the problem of humidity increases in general on the ground floors for basements, while the ventilation is good and the humidity is almost non-existent on the upper floors. 

Most of the residential complexes in Istanbul are distinguished by their apartments located in areas that reach the sun from all directions.

In general, the real estate tour enables the customer, accompanied by Al-Hoda Real Estate Investment experts, to closely examine the extent to which the apartment is free of moisture, which is often apparent on the surfaces and walls in the event of their presence, especially in the winter season.

But if the investor buys a property in the summer, it is difficult for him to know the matter, but by making sure that there is ample lighting for long hours during the day and also large ventilation, the investor has avoided it.

Earthquake resistance

In general, all modern real estate projects in Turkey, especially earthquake resistance, are taken into account, but you always have to ask about the extent to which construction takes into account the earthquake-resistance feature, which is available in modern residential complexes that take into account international quality standards in construction and services.
