Question 1

How is the asking price of my property determined?

Accepted Answer

Location, net usable area, building age, floor, aspect, physical condition and genuinely comparable current properties are reviewed together. An advertised price alone is not treated as market value.

Question 2

How long does a property sale take?

Accepted Answer

Timing depends on market-aligned pricing, property quality, demand and document readiness. A realistic marketing and transaction schedule is shared after the initial review.

Question 3

What is reviewed when qualifying a tenant?

Accepted Answer

Move-in timing, intended use, household or team structure, payment plan and alignment with the property terms are considered. Discriminatory criteria are not used.

Question 4

How are the deposit and fixtures documented?

Accepted Answer

Deposit terms are written clearly in the contract; keys, meters, furniture and appliances are recorded in a photographed handover report.

Question 5

What are the key checks for commercial property?

Accepted Answer

Title status, licensing and permitted use, frontage, pedestrian and vehicle access, electrical capacity, ventilation, fire requirements and total conversion cost should be reviewed.

Question 6

How is rental yield calculated?

Accepted Answer

Headline annual rent is not enough. Vacancy, dues, maintenance, tax, management and acquisition costs should be deducted to assess net yield.

Question 7

How is privacy protected for private listings?

Accepted Answer

Address, media, document and viewing information follow the owner-approved access level, and prospective buyers are qualified before viewings.

Question 8

Should luxury property be advertised on every platform?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Open advertising, limited distribution or direct matching are selected according to the target buyer and privacy requirement.

Question 9

How are listing details kept current?

Accepted Answer

When the Promes portfolio package is updated, a matching Sahibinden listing number updates the existing record—price, status, copy and media—rather than creating a duplicate. Inactive records are removed from public views.

Question 10

How can I arrange a property appointment?

Accepted Answer

Use the form on the listing page, call the Promes office or submit your request through the contact page. Including the listing reference helps us respond faster.
