Property in Turkey

Property in Turkey (coastal areas in particular) has become a hot destination for British buyers in the last few years. If you are looking for an ideal holiday, villas or apartments, the place to retire or invest your hard-earned savings, this could be the place for you. With its warm climate, sandy beaches, quaint towns and villages full of history, friendly hospitable local people you could not wish for a better place in the sun to come to live or stay! Not to mention the spectacular capital growth in the emerging property market in Turkey as seen the in the past few years, which makes buying a property in Turkey very attractive for foreign investors.

Reasons for buying a property in Turkey

√   Turkish property - Excellent Value for Money

Turkey still remains one of the most attractive emerging markets in Europe. Properties for sale in Turkey offer excellent value for money investment at no compromise to the quality, climate or cost of living.

√   Emerging market

Turkey is already a NATO member and talks are under way regarding the possibility of Turkey joining EU. It all means that the prices for the property in Turkey will be going up until they are level with the other Mediterranean countries, already members of EU. If Turkey is successful in their bid to join the EU, it seems unlikely that it would happen before 2015, although it is more realistic to be 2020. This timescale offers longer prospects of capital growth for property buyers in Turkey. Properties for sale in Turkey are attracting the attention of many Northern European nationals.

√   Great Rental Potential of Turkish properties

Holiday resorts attract tourists as well as people seeking sun in winter. The holiday season is very long in Turkey from April until November. Although the rental market in Turkey is in its infancy stages, due to the low property prices you can get very high returns. Location of the property (villa or apartment) is extremely important. The cheapest properties for sale in Turkey do not always represent a good investment, as like, everywhere else; you would have to pay slightly more for prime locations and better built property.

√   Turkish property Capital Growth

The property market in Turkey is very buoyant and in the past few years has seen a steady growth of 15-20% or even more in some parts of Turkey.

√   Direct Flights

Direct flights to Turkey are a big bonus, when buying a property in this country. The costs of the airline tickets are going down due as more airlines flying to the Mediterranean Turkey each year. Fethiye, Bodrum and Alanya have been discovered by British tourists many years ago. There are plans to have more direct flights being scheduled as more Brits choose Turkey as their permanent home or buy holiday villas or apartments here.

√   Warm Climate

Property in Turkey
The warm climate is undoubtedly one of the main attractions for sun starved Northern Europeans and British people in particular looking to buy a property in Turkey. Like Greece and Cyprus, Mediterranean Turkey has over 300 day's of sunshine with over 1,500 kilometres of coastline on Mediterranean. In Mediterranean and Aegean Sea areas, the average temperature in summer is around 86 -105 F (30-40C), in winter it is normally above 50 F (10 C). Winters are normally short and mild. It can rain between November and February. Imagine swimming or sailing 9 months a year in the clear waters of Mediterranean Sea?

√   Cost of Living is another reason for buying a property in Turkey

You will not find a better place in the sun and the value for your money destination to retire and buy a home in Turkey or come on holiday for 9 months a year. More and more retired British people choose Turkey to live permanently and buy their property in Turkey as they can live a luxury life as the cost of living is a fraction to UK. For example, gas would cost you around £10 per month (depending on usage), electricity is about £0.05p per kilowatt, and water varies from £0.40p to £3.00 per ton depending on if you use the mains supply or not.

√   British Community

You will not feel being cut off from the life back in UK - 52 channels are available through the local service provider, including BBC World service and Eurosport. There is a National Turkish newspaper also available in English. Social events are organised regularly by British local residents, as well as other Europeans.

√   Healthcare

All foreigners have to pay for medical treatment in Turkey, which is a fraction of cost than in the UK. There are a number of private hospitals in Turkey, where English is widely spoken. The standards of healthcare are high.

√   Education

The Turkish education system will meet the high expectations and standards of this new emerging market. All education is free and compulsory in the state schools. A number of international private schools have been opened recently to meet the growing demands of the emerging international community.

With all this in mind, Turkey is a place to buy a property: permanent home or for investment (villa or apartment) on the Mediterranean. Property for sale in Fethiye is a good place to invest or retire. Bodrum attracts a good mixture of investors and also retired people.

Buying a property in Turkey now will give you the advantage of enjoying good growth of your investment and ensures that you get good value for your money with your place in the sun. It will also provide you a better quality of life for less money. It has never been a better time to buy Turkish property.

You will be spoilt for choice when it comes to find your ideal Turkish villa or apartment. However the quality of construction varies significantly depending upon the developers you choose. We carefully select the developers in Turkey with whom to work. It is the quality of construction and security of your investment we have in mind, not the cheapest property. As we all know, quality and peace of mind comes at a cost, but proves to be excellent investment.

√   Properties for sale in Turkey - from UK property agent or developers directly?

When it comes to buy a property in Turkey do not fall for the promise that it is cheaper to buy from the developers directly. It is absolutely not true. Instead of the agent, the developer will keep the commission and you will not benefit from such dealings. The main advantage of buying through an agent is that you will see properties of many developers.

We as your UK property agents for Turkey do a lot of research before we suggest the property to you. You will save yourself a lot of time and use our expertise at no extra cost to you. So you have nothing to loose but gain!
