Buying the ideal property in Turkey

When it comes to buying a property in Turkey, there are a number of reasons why this country has seen something of a surge in popularity in recent years. From its large offering of beach resorts, year round sun and excellent location in good proximity to other countries in Europe, these are just a few of the reasons it continues to be popular season after season. When it comes to buying property, this too is why it's become a safe haven for buying property, with foreign nationals relocating or buying a holiday home. 

There are no end of good reasons to buy property in Turkey, not least because you get much more for your money when compared with other Mediterranean countries. Also, you still get the same amenities and Turkey also boasts amazing cuisine, beaches and when it comes to property, a modern market. Looking again at the great value for money, the great thing about buying a property in Turkey is the fact you can purchase a holiday home from as little as £50,000 and do so and be mortgage free in the process.

When it comes to getting it right in buying the ideal property, remember that location is key. In the Turkey property market there are a range of resorts all of which offer something different for anyone looking to buy here. For example, the resort of Bodrum has a glitzy and cosmopolitan feel with its large scale marina and you also then have Fethiye; this area is more lively and excellent has some excellent value for money property. For somewhere equally pretty yet somewhat more understated, there is also Dalaman.

There are a number of good reasons to buy a property in Turkey, not least due to its low cost of living and wide and varied property portfolio. Should you be buying here with an investment approach, what’s also interesting is the fact this is a market which hasn’t as yet peaked. 

Overall, don't rush the process of buying a property. Do as much research as you can, assess the legalities and speak to multiple property agents in Turkey and check their credentials. Foreigners have been able to buy property in Turkey since 2001 and the processes have improved continually. That said, make sure you go with a credible agent who will be able to take care of the paperwork and processes in the most straightforward ways possible.
