Great Reasons to Buy in Turkey

Turkey offers a best of both worlds scenario combining the very low prices of a market in its early stages of development with already established rental prospects for those who want it. With some buyers being priced out of the more established Mediterranean property markets, Turkey's relatively low prices and the potential for major increases in the future are seeing thousands from around the world take the plunge. With its outstanding natural beauty, fabulous climate, renowned hospitality, huge popularity with tourists and property prices offering exceptional value for money, Turkey is becoming increasingly popular for British home buyers in the Mediterranean.

Here are some great reasons to buy...

Outstanding beauty

The Turquoise Coast is without doubt one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline anywhere in the Mediterranean. It is Turkey's most dramatic coast where snowy mountains descend towards baking sands and into crystal clear, turquoise seas. Strict natural protection laws ensure pristine beaches and unspoilt countryside.

Turkey's booming property market

Just over GBP 40,000 will still buy you a 2 bedroom apartment and a 3 bedroom detached villa with private pool can be obtained for not much more than GBP 100,000 in top destinations such as Bodrum, Fethiye, Antalya. These prices are already between 25-40% higher than a year ago. With demand on the up, this trend looks set to continue. Property in Turkey represents excellent value for money and with the market in its initial stages of development it can be compared to parts of Spain around 5 years ago. The potential for returns on investment is enormous.

Excellent rental prospects

For those seeking a return from rental income, there are excellent prospects during the tourist season from May to October in and near major resorts such as Bodrum, Fethiye, Side etc. Property Republic also ensures rent ability in low season via supplying tenants to its own clients through its own network of affiliates and property inspectors.

Education, Health & Communication

Standards of healthcare and education in Turkey are excellent. Foreigners will pay for medical treatment and UK private health plans are acceptable. Health insurance can be purchased in Turkey up to the age of 55 years.

Residents can send their children to local authority or private schools including international schools in the larger cities where English is spoken.

Cultural diversity

Most people who buy property abroad will value the cultural diversity of their chosen location. Turkey's local culture remains very much intact but offers a balance with high levels of service and security. It is uniquely positioned as a cultural and geographical bridge between Europe and Asia and is a land of exotic contradictions where East meets West, old confronts new and tradition comes face to face with the ultra modern. With magical mosques clamoring for attention amongst the bars, bazaars and beaches this is a destination to delight.

An inexpensive place to live

You'll find the cost of living to be between 30 - 50% lower than in the UK. Fresh produce is particularly good value and eating out can also be very inexpensive.

Tourism growth

Tourism from the UK has increased dramatically from a very low level in the 80s and early 90s to around 1 million visitors a year, however this remains a small percentage of overall tourism, accounting for around 13 million visitors. Most people, both from Britain and other countries, visit the south west coast of Turkey, the area where most Britons are buying and driving up prices.

Low crime rates

Turkey is a safe country with a relatively low crime rate.

World renowned hospitality

Turkey has an unrivalled reputation for hospitality and a very warm welcome is extended to British tourists and residents. Ask anyone who's visited and they'll speak very positively about the warmth of the Turkish people and their truly excellent standards of service.

Climate

The Mediterranean coast of Turkey enjoys a wonderful climate. There are more than 300 days of sun a year - summers are long, hot and dry with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees C and winters are short and mild.

It's safe to buy

Buying property in Turkey is more straightforward than in many other European countries. The law in Turkey permits foreign nationals to purchase land and property within municipal (town council) areas. We will only sell a property in conjunction with an English speaking lawyer who will represent your interests throughout the entire purchase of your property and ensure a contract is drawn up in English between the seller and the purchaser.

Turkey is ready!

In recent years the conservative buyer may have been put off by uncertainties about Turkey's economic and political future but these concerns are now being dispelled. The Islamic governing party in Turkey has adopted a very pro-western, pro-Europe and pro-secular society stance, its economy has stabilized and the middle-east conflicts have prompted no negativity from the Turkish people whatsoever. As a result an estimated 20,000 Brits bought in Turkey last year alone and many more are now set to reap the substantial rewards that could result from investing in this emerging market.
