Turkey
is a unique melting pot of Asian, Arabic and European cultures
- it's where Europe and Asia meet - and its rich, varied heritage
is reflected in every aspect of the country; from its architecture
to its food.
Turkey has natural advantages, too. Blessed with extremely long,
warm summers, it has a long, scenic coastline with large numbers
of sandy beaches, as well as mountains, plains and of course
several large, ancient cities such as Istanbul.
Despite its attractions as a tourist destination, it is only
recently that it has become possible for foreigners to easily
buy properties in Turkey.
In 2003, the laws relating to property ownership were relaxed,
and since then the Turkish property market has really
opened up to foreign buyers - with the British at the
head of the queue.
UK citizens / British nationals own more residential property
in Turkey than any other foreign nation and it has become an
extremely popular place to buy a holiday home, with reasonable
prices, friendly people and great food and weather!
We've put together this guide to help you understand what's
involved in buying a holiday home or investment property in
Turkey - it is simpler than it seems and well within the means
of most buyers looking for a home abroad.
