New legislation is a boost for property buyers
Monday, February 11, 2008
Turkey's Forest and Agriculture ministry has issued new guidelines and regulations set out in a White Paper on planning laws to be in force till 2025 for confining the increase of construction work. The White Paper covers all the major tourist areas, from Aegean and Mediterranean coastlines which till recently were under local planning strategies and resulted in widespread disorganized buildings.
Robert Nixon, Director ,UK Operations for Nirvana International ,specialists in property in Turkey welcomed this initiative from the government and said that this not only main tourist centers on the coastline but also the other cities and nearby countryside. This innovation has ensured turkey would retain its original glory. He has said that this is a very important step on its way to becoming a prime destination for buyers from abroad.
Tourism industry will be monitored closely and buildings are restricted to enable coastal resorts to grow but without spoiling any of the natural beauty of turkey. This also takes care of agricultural establishments, archaeological sites, energy source regions and other natural, historical, cultural assets of turkey
Planners will also now need to carefully consider city development areas. Nixon said that turkey's pristine beauty could have been in danger by over development, but as these laws are implemented they see it as a complete bonus facilitating buyers to acquire property knowing they will not be wrecked by more developments of apartments with unsustainable density.
