Property Maintenance in Turkey – A Practical Guide for Owners in 2025

Owning a property in Turkey—whether it’s a holiday villa, investment flat, or year-round residence—comes with certain responsibilities. In 2025, more foreign homeowners are choosing Turkey for real estate, and understanding property maintenance options is key to preserving both value and comfort.

Why Is Property Maintenance Important?

Well-maintained properties:

• Keep their market value
• Attract more rental interest
• Avoid costly repairs through regular upkeep
• Ensure safety, comfort, and long-term performance

Especially in coastal areas like Belek, Kaş, or Alanya, weather conditions (sun, humidity, sea salt) can affect building materials over time—making regular care essential.
