The Turkish property market is in the throes of a massive boom, with Turkey proving to be a property hotspot as other Mediterranean countries become increasingly expensive. Turkey’s reasonable property prices continue to attract home owners and investors alike, while prices look set to continue increasing year on year with no change predicted for the foreseable future.

Meanwhile, the Turkish economy continues to attract an enormous amount of interest and investment from overseas as the government continues to adjust their laws and policies to bring them inline with the rest of Europe in readiness for their full EU membership in the very near future.Supermarket chain Tesco has recently bought a large Turkish supermarket chain, and no less than five Turkish banks were bought last year by the likes of Citibank and HSBC, while most of the major European car manufacturers and many major electrical goods manufacturers already have huge manufacturing facilities in Turkey.

All the indications prove to be fantastic news for the investor buying property in Turkey right now. With its temperate climate (hot summers lasting from April to November with short, mild winters) Turkey is an excellent year round destination for home owners and tourists alike.

The Turkish people are warm, friendly and welcoming, the food and drink are excellent, and Turkey is richly endowed with incredible historical sights and blue flag beaches up and down its coasts.

With all the major travel operators flying to the area and several Turkish and budget airlines operating services from the UK to the Aegean, travelling to and from Turkey is easily within the budget of everyone.

English is widely spoken, mortgages are readily available, and the cost of living considerably cheaper than the UK. And with its slower, more relaxed way of life, Turkey offers a quality of life afforded by few European countries.
