Investment in commercial real estate is one of the best investments because it makes premiums and increases value and brings rent. The rental income of the commercial real estate is higher than the house and the maintenance costs are lower. In the long term, the value increase of a shop is higher than the housing.

Is it projected as a workplace?
Does your purchase look like a shop on the shop floor? Many houses are sold after being turned into shops and then rented. While this situation is not a problem in some sectors, some sectors have problems in the license phase. It is designed as a business place, and it is easy to sell if you want to find a tenant or sell it. Title deed indicates that the shop is suitable for the project and increases its value. Check whether the warehouse or basement that appears to belong to the real estate is really registered in the deed. Once in some shops, the basement or other departments join the shop, which can lead to the deterioration of the property. Also, before buying the shop, find out if there is any comment on the real estate from the Land Registry Department and the Municipal Land Registry Department.

Do you have a pre-use area on the garden side?
The right to use the garden or the front area adds value to the property and helps to attract different tenants. Examine the management plan to determine whether the right to use such areas belongs to the shop.

Where are the columns?
Visible columns on the shopfront and inside the shop can block workflow. Evaluate how these columns affect presentation and visuality in the display and the shop floor, because large areas without columns facilitate workflow and visual layout, thus increasing value.

Do you have a chimney?

How much is the rental income?

The most important factor for investing in commercial real estate is rental income. The return period of investment returns in Istanbul is lower than in residential real estate. The amortization period shows how many years the sale price can be met when the purchased real estate is rented. The shorter this time, the more attractive the investment is. In the recent past an average multiplier of 200 rents was considered reasonable for the duration of the depreciation of commercial real estate. While it is impossible to buy real estate with this multiplier in places like Baghdad Caddesi and Nişantaşı where there is no alternative, there are many places with lower multipliers in the new developing regions. The recent slowdown in the economy and the drop in vacancies and rents in commercial real estate is the subject. Investors are also targeting depreciation periods of 12 to 13 years due to these conditions.
