Buying properties Abroad - Delights of Turkey

More and more people are deciding to buy a property in Turkey. In fact it's becoming an increasingly popular choice for British people to retire to.


A decade or so ago, the idea wouldn't have occurred to many people. The usual choices were places like Spain, France or Italy. However these are becoming saturated and smart people are looking further afield.


And Turkey seems to be a good place to look at. It seems to have everything - a spectacular coastline, a near-perfect climate and ancient sites going back thousands of years.


What's more, Turkey is seen as a hot property market at the moment. The country is anxious to join the European Union and is doing everything possible to be foreigner-friendly. Properties can still be snapped up for wonderfully low prices and if Turkey succeeds in entering the EU, there will be a property boom.


If you want to buy a property in Turkey, the good news is that house purchase is a relatively simple process for foreigners. However, as with most countries, there are things you need to be careful of and we will look at these in the next post.
