Wanda Vista Istanbul residences are listed from $325,000 (three hundred twenty-five thousand dollars) by agencies selling to foreign buyers, and one sales page gives an average of $640,000 (six hundred forty thousand dollars) for 2+1 units.

The Wanda Vista hotel opened on 1 October 2021; its 320 (three hundred twenty) residences are managed by the hotel operator and sold furnished. In the complex's G Yoo tower, a 65 m² 1+1 is listed in Turkish lira for about $95,000 (ninety-five thousand dollars), so asking prices should always be checked against a valuation report.

How does buying in Wanda Vista Istanbul work?
As the project is completed, sales are resales: a contract is signed with a deposit and the balance is paid at the land registry together with the title transfer. During this process, the title deed, mortgage and lien check, review of the sale contract and the transfer are handled by Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu. Buyers who cannot travel to Turkey can complete the title transfer by power of attorney.
How do foreigners buy property in Wanda Vista Istanbul?
A foreign buyer first obtains a Turkish tax number and opens a Turkish bank account; then the title deed and encumbrance check, valuation report and contract are completed and the title is transferred. The land registry also confirms that the property can be sold to a foreigner. Every step is followed by Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu, who works on property purchases by foreigners.
What needs to be done after the title transfer?
After the transfer, the electricity, water and gas subscriptions are opened in the new owner's name, the owner is registered with building management and a property tax return is filed with the municipality. If a citizenship application will be made, the payment documents and the title deed annotation are added to the file at this stage.
How much are Wanda Vista Istanbul apartments for rent?

What is the rental yield at Wanda Vista Istanbul?
Rental yield cannot be calculated because there are no sale and monthly rent listings for the same unit type. Some sales pages describe a rent guarantee of 7% (seven percent) of the property value for the first 2 (two) years and a revenue-sharing model for the next 18 (eighteen) years, but they do not say who gives the guarantee or on what terms. Such a commitment should only be taken into account if it is clearly written into the management agreement you sign.
Can units in Wanda Vista Istanbul be rented short term?
Under the rules in force since 2024, short-term rental requires a permit from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the unanimous consent of the other owners in a condominium building. In projects with many units this consent is hard to obtain in practice, so investment returns should be calculated on long-term rent.
What are the service charges and buying costs at Wanda Vista Istanbul?
Service charges at Wanda Vista Istanbul are set by building management according to the apartment's size and the compound's services. We obtain the current service charge for the apartment you are considering in writing from management and share it before purchase. The main buying costs on top of the price are:
By law, buyer and seller pay 2% each; the parties may agree otherwise.
A fixed fee charged for the title deed transaction.
Compulsory earthquake insurance taken out before the transfer.
Licensed valuation; compulsory for purchases by foreigners.
Present at the land registry for buyers who do not speak Turkish.
By Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu, from contract to title deed.
Fee rates may change with legislation; you can request the exact breakdown in writing before purchase. For new-build purchases, whether VAT is included in the price is also checked.
Can you get Turkish citizenship by buying in Wanda Vista Istanbul?
A home or office worth at least $400,000 (four hundred thousand dollars) qualifies for Turkish citizenship by investment; the threshold can also be reached with more than one property.
At Wanda Vista Istanbul, the only prices above the $400,000 threshold are the agency averages for 1+1s ($550,000) and 2+1s ($640,000); the $325,000 starting price is below it. The bigger risk is the valuation: citizenship is based on the title deed price and an SPK-licensed valuation report, while a 65 m² 1+1 in the complex's G Yoo tower sells for about $95,000. Because of this gap, the valuation report may come in well below the sale price. It should also be checked before signing that the title deed type of units inside the hotel is suitable for a citizenship application.
- The value is determined by a licensed valuation report.
- A no-sale annotation of at least 3 (three) years is placed on the title deed.
- Payment is made in foreign currency and documented through a Turkish bank.
- The application file is prepared and followed by Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu.
Legislation may change; current requirements are confirmed with the lawyer before applying.
