Turkey - exciting 2008 for buyers
Wednesday, February 20, 2008
The South-western 'Turquoise' Mediterranean Coast of Turkey presents valuable opportunity as thousands cash in on soaring prices in Spain and Portugal to buy a second home in turkey. The market has increased to record proportions because lack of good accessibility and issues in mortgages for British buyers are expected to be cleared in 2008.
The low cost easy jet airlines announced today that it will acquire the assets and business of GB Airways, which has more operations in turkey's southern coast. British Airways is launching flights from Gatwick to Antalya in Turkey next summer. There will be three flights per week to Antalya from April 10, 2008. Opening of a second airport for Antalya Region in Gazipasa in the near future is being planned but the routes will be confirmed soon.
According to the property sales law, foreigners can have property in Turkey and it is been accepted in the Parliament. The new mortgage law in Turkey sets new standards and it will accelerate the Flow of Foreign Capital into Turkey.
Turkey is hoping to dispel negative perceptions about Iraq as its neighbor and volatility of Turkish lira by structural adjustments, liberalization attempts and institutional changes and reorganization of the economic system.
Buying an apartment for £25,000 in Altinkum and £1m for a villa in the upmarket resorts of Kalkan, Kas, or Bodrum become a more attractive proposition. Spot Blue is now selling stylish, good quality, two-bedroom villas in the golfing destination of Belek, 20 miles from Antalya airport, for £85,000.
