Getting Started

Careful planning before you start your Turkish property hunt will save time and help avoid problems later.

Before you start your Turkish property hunt decide exactly what you’re looking for. This sounds obvious, but identifying your goals before you get cracking can save time later.

Turkey is a large country - look into what the various resorts have to offer. The Buying in Turkey guide is a good place to start as it has information about each area, including facilities, the property available and prices. Contact us for a free copy.

Set yourself a realistic budget, both in terms of your personal financial situation, but also with regards to actual prices on the ground. Don’t set yourself the goal of buying a luxury apartment with sea views for £20,000 - or you will be disappointed!

As part of the preparation process get the necessary financing in place. Acting quickly may be important as the best properties are often in high demand. Many people decide to re-mortgage a property in the UK. Turkish mortgages are also now available. If buying in a foreign currency, like euros, remember to contact a currency dealer like Travelex.

Discover a selection of the best currently available Turkish property in the Property Collection. Contact one of our advisers for help and advice, and to organise a discovery trip – a great way to view a range of property and get to know an area before buying.
