Thursday, December 11, 2008
Second home-seekers looking for affordability, culture and relaxation should check out Turkey, according to a property expert.
Andrew Hawkins, head of Chesterton International estate agents said that Turkey is the number one choice for home seekers who want to live a fantastic quality of affordable life in an accessible, stable and rapidly advancing nation. Turkey has undergone a period of sustained growth while the housing markets in many other European countries have wobbled in recent times.
According to Aston Lloyd, house prices in Turkey are going up at a rate of about seven per cent per annum. People who are thinking of buying a foreign property have been advised that investing in Turkey could be highly profitable and investors who buy early could benefit from capital appreciation.
Turkey has received strong praise from a Gloria Duffy, British property buyer who has recently bought a two-bedroom apartment in Altinkum. Speaking to the Sunday Mail, she said that she had a number of preconceived ideas about Turkey. However, she was proved wrong and now they holiday in Turkey many times and they use their apartment as holiday accommodation at various times of the year.
Turkey is also highlighted as a particularly popular destination for retirees from UK as the cost of traveling to the country is also fairly low, which means expats can still be in easy reach of friends and relatives at home.
In related news, the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) has revealed that the number of bookings for trips to the country is 20 per cent up on last year.
