    Advice for best area in Turkey

    You're right, mortgages are available only for completed properties. The title and habitation certificate are required by the banks during mortgage application. Buying off the plan is a different story. You can either get into a cooperative which may -in some cases- take ages to...

    Advice for best area in Turkey

    Alanya is a very nice area, no question about it. It is extremely popular among the Germans choosing Turkey for holiday & retirement. However: 50-60% annual capital appreciation unrealistic. The builder must be temporarily selling with a huge discount. Then you need to ask the question...

    Advice for best area in Turkey

    High rental income is directly related to how many months a property can be rented out. IMHO there are only 2 possibilities for a long rental potential: - New expensive residences in business districts of major cities like Istanbul, Ankara. Here location plays a very important role as these...

    Advice for best area in Turkey

    Prices in Kusadasi is already quite lower than similar areas in Turkey. When the market turns, Kusadasi will leap forward. Property sales to foreigners will resume again sometime this month. Time to buy in Kusadasi! ;)

    Good decision. Bodrum is too quiet in winter, and overcrowded in summer. Fethiye is a proper town like Kusadasi.

    Too many agents to choose from!

    Agreed. Property prices in some areas are already bloated. You need to find an area which has potential but undervalued. Simply buy when it is cheap. Which area then?

    Too many agents to choose from!

    IMHO... Just go there for a holiday during the peak season. See different areas of the town. Visit many agents, instead of getting one agent following you day & night. Return home. Do your homework on the internet. Go back again with a shortlist you prepared during the low season, you'll...

    Ozdere

    Ozdere is one of the locations not spoilt yet south of Izmir. There has been some German interest in the area recently. You can still get good bargains in Ozdere, but I recommend you to work with an independent solicitor before you get into any deal there. Ozdere is not likely to grow as much as...

    Bad Experience Akbuk with TRMA

    Good point. Here in Turkey you don't need to use a solicitor. Buyers sometimes try to save a few hundred Euros and get into trouble or cheated by the wrong people. Always work with a solicitor just like you do in the UK. Good luck!
