Turkey’s Property Market is Buzzing
Published on 23 July 2008
The property market in Turkey is buzzing with the likes of Shamil Bank investing millions into the sector on behalf of institutional clients and with Century 21 Gold arriving from Russia in search of viable projects for wealthy Russian clients.
Meanwhile, all along the Turkish coastline British, Irish and European holidaymakers are enjoying the stunning Turkish climate and inimitable Turkish hospitality and many of them are planning their own moves into the Turkish real estate market as well. All in all, it would be fair to say that Turkey’s property market is buzzing!!
Reasons to Buy Property in Turkey
Published on 21 July 2008
The current economic climate in the UK is far from sunny, the latest opinions about the state of play in Britain come from Ernst & Young and they claim that not only will the government fail to keep inflation in check over the next year, but that jobless numbers will rise and that the high street and the property market will suffer as a result. So, now more than ever you may be in need of some extra encouragement when it comes to thinking about buying a property abroad.
After all, is now really a good time to be buying anywhere else? We have one thing to say to you – do you want to leave your money in a country which has been described as about to descend into an economic ‘horror movie?!’ Here are the Shelter Offshore reasons to buy property in Turkey to help offset the economic and general gloom in the UK.
Trying Times Again for Turkish Property
Published on 19 June 2008
Well, the Turkish government has done it again – they have put the breaks on the property market in Turkey right at the start of the summer season when prices and interest levels were both expected to rise. Because of a hold up in a law change, no title deeds are being issued to foreign purchasers and those who bought last year and expect to take full possession and complete legal ownership of their properties this summer are being prevented from doing so.
Naturally this is causing waves of panic to surge through the industry – no matter what smiling estate agents may say to the contrary. It’s not that any of them are worried the law change won’t go ahead, it’s that they are concerned this hurdle will be one too many in the way of rare and valued buyers and that they will head elsewhere. Trying times again for Turkish property then…which is a real shame.

Buying Property in Turkey Ban Lifted
Published on 08 May 2008
The Turkish government has announced the end of a temporary suspension on the issuing of title deeds to foreign buyers. Brought into force on 15th April by order of the country’s Constitutional Court while parts of the legislation relating to foreign buyers were re-drafted, a parliamentary commission has passed the changes and the freeze will end in the next 2-3 weeks.
“The changes will have no effect on most foreign buyers and relate to the amount of land foreigners are entitled to buy,” explains Dominic Whiting, editor of the Buying in Turkey guide.

Published on 14 April 2008
If you’re thinking that a move abroad to the sun in retirement will make your governmental fuel allowance go far further or you’re looking to start a new working life abroad with all your family for example, Turkey might well be a good nation for you to consider. It is a rapidly improving country in terms of its infrastructure and general levels of amenities and facilities, and what’s more, it has an affordable property market.
With the words ‘affordable’ and ‘property’ far from synonymous in Great Britain anymore, especially with the mortgage squeeze beginning to take hold and recent interest rate cuts not being passed to the housing finance consumer, let’s look at where Brits are buying property in Turkey to see whether any of the areas appeal to you.
Discover Turkey’s Hidden Property Gems In The Tranquillity of Kirazli Village
Published on 17 March 2008
The sheer breath taking beauty of the Turkish Aegean coastline has soon established itself as one of the most attractive parts of the world for overseas property buyers searching for both a dream home in the sun and a solid long term investment.
With it’s pleasant Mediterranean climate of sun filled summers and mild winters, ever changing scenery that the eye will never grow tired of and one of the friendliest and most welcoming local populations, it’s no wonder the Turkish Aegean tops the list for so many overseas property seekers. We take a look at what must be one of the most charming village locations along the Aegean, Kirazli Koyo (Cherry Village) and several very unique properties that we think represent some of best that Turkey has to offer.
Situated just 10KM from the thriving Aegean coastal tourist town of Kusadasi, beneath the pine forest of the National Park lies the traditional Turkish village of Kirazli. Surrounded by flowering fields of cherry trees, figs, vines and olives, the peace and tranquillity of village life are a world away from the bustle of Kusadasi. With a good range of traditional restaurants, the smell of fresh pine scented air, stunning scenery and many hiking trails Kirazli makes an ideal base for the more independent traveller who prefers to make his own path away from the tourist centres.
What Does the Cyprus Election Mean for Turkey’s Property Market?
Published on 19 February 2008
With the world’s media more interested in Cuba and Kosovo, the shock defeat of Tassos Papadopoulos on Sunday in the Republic of Cyprus elections has gone largely unnoticed by many. And yet the defeat of one of the key European opponents to Turkey joining the EU could have a significant and immediate effect on Turkey’s property market for example.
If you personally have an interest in real estate in Turkey – whether just general or actually fiscal – what does the Cyprus election mean for Turkey’s property market? Well, it bodes exceptionally well for the long-term, healthy development of an affluent and sustainable real estate sector in which many may probably now invest.
New Property Developments in Turkey
Published on 08 January 2008
According to a recent article in The Observer newspaper, some 17,000 Brits have chosen Turkey as their overseas nation of choice when it comes to buying a property abroad. These 17,000 have focused on the Southern Turkish coastline which hugs the Mediterranean and the Aegean Seas because they know they can enjoy long sunny days from April to November and also enjoy a nation that is rapidly advancing in terms of its appeal.
To service these home buyers and the increasing number of tourism arrivals, new flight operators are joining the ranks and there has been a sharp increase in both the frequency and number of flights to Turkey’s Riviera from Europe and the UK since 2006. New property developments in Turkey are also stepping up to offer the canny consumer something better in the way of both choice and quality, and one of the developers working particularly hard to break the fairly tired Spanish villa mold is the Braemore Gemini partnership from Nottingham who are developing innovative and attractive property in the Bodrum region.
