Real Estate Fraud: Smart Systems

What is the origin of real estate fraud in smart systems?
The matter can be considered in its origin as a linguistic misunderstanding to a large extent, as the smart system, as a staircase term in Turkish society, denotes specifications that do not necessarily match the international specifications of the smart apartment.
Where the Turks consider the internal communication device (intercom), as it is called, if it contains a camera that shows the identity of the person outside, a smart system, which made it easier for fraudsters who rely on false marketing and manipulating vocabulary to promote this type of apartments as apartments that contain a smart system, knowing that the existence of A camera to make it easier to know who is at the door does not make the apartment smart and does not include it under the offers of smart apartments in Istanbul.
So, what are smart apartments in Turkey?
It is important to realize that the concept of smart apartments is a broad concept that may include several levels, and despite the widespread cases of real estate fraud in smart systems, this does not negate the existence of smart apartment projects with international specifications in Turkey in general and in Istanbul in particular.
Smart apartments are defined as homes that provide remote control of devices and tools in the house without the need for the presence of the homeowner, by connecting them all to the Internet or a local network and controlling them through special tablets.
This control may include several levels, including:
Controlling home lighting: Giving orders to turn on or off the lights remotely, or linking them to a time so that they turn on or off at a specific hour.
Controlling doors, closing or opening them remotely, and turning on or off electrical appliances such as dishwashers, heating, etc.
The presence of acoustic systems and sensors sensitive to heat or sound.
As it is clear, the integrated smart apartments save a lot of time and effort for the investor and guarantee a safer and more comfortable life, unlike what happens. Marketing ordinary apartments just because they contain an additional camera in the internal communication device as a smart apartment is considered fraud and manipulation of information that reduces the credibility of the real estate broker who It is marketed for such apartments, and it also affects the reputation and reliability of the Turkish real estate market in general.
In addition, the prices of smart apartments differ from the prices of ordinary apartments, despite the presence of many factors affecting the price such as location, space, services, etc., but the special infrastructure that smart apartments need and the necessary availability of local networks and tablet control devices raise the price of the apartment, which may lead to a type of Another type of fraud is price gouging and exaggeration.
