Why buy in Turkey?

Turkey is an emerging property market, and hot-on-the-lips of many investors. As well as being an excellent holiday destination, the country offers property at competitive prices and is ideal for those who can no longer afford traditional holiday areas such as Spain or Portugal.

The country boasts one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, and inflation has been at its lowest for the last 37 years.

Those who have bought property in Turkey are already seeing good returns. To date, conservative estimates would advise on around 10-15% increases year-on-year. EU accession talks began in October 2005 – property investors see this as a potential long-term benefit. Of course the current global economy worries have affected this, but perhaps this is the perfect time to take advantage of the huge number of properties available in Turkey.

The country’s coastal areas are serviced by the following airports: Izmir, Bodrum, Dalaman and Antalya – all of which are open all year round. And, travelling around Turkey is easy – there is a good network of local roads, with bus routes, and cheap taxi services.
