Dear Friends,

At the moment, foreigners' buying real estate in Turkey has been stopped by the government due to changes in 2 titles of the law. New changes have already been discussed in the commission and confirmed. The new law with more rights for foreigners is coming next week to the parliament and it will take effect in approx. in one week. It is the first law in the queue waiting to be voted. And as Ak Party has the majority in the parliament it will definitely be positive.

I can't comment on Altinkum or Kusadasi but we have just bought in Gumbet and are pleased with that. We have bought near the Universal Hospital on the Gumbet/Bitez/Konacik border and there's a lot of people live there permanently. Also although Gumbet front does tend to close down during the off season, there's lots of Turkish places that stay open because of the residents there. We didn't want to be on a big holiday complex so bought on a very small complex (only six apartments in two blocks of three with two of them being permanently lived in) with its own pool and gardens and no monthly charges to pay.

Wherever you decide, good luck. It's a fantastic experience!

If you have no monthly charges to pay, who pays for the running of the pool and gardens :think

Because there's only six of us, we will split the costs on an ongoing basis for the pool but it will just be at cost. Same with the gardens - although not a great deal to be done there.

For people buying with a view to semi-retirement I wopuld advise definately going to view in the winter as you will see what its really like then.

I sell a lot to semi retirees here in konyaalti antalya as we are not too touristy but have plenty of bars and restaurants etc also have winter activities and direct all year flights to the UK and nothing closes in the winter. Add to that the winter climate on this coast is a lot better than on the west coast.

I am living in Alanya and we have more than 8000 units here bought by Europeans. Some live in villas and some live in nice apartment complexes. It is 130 km to Antalya Airport and 1.5 hour drive. Alanya is like a big holiday village city where you can find everything all around the year, and it doesn t give the feeling of a big city as it is in Antalya.

I really advise you bodrum
The saint tropez of turkey, with a nice night life and beautiful city
I think altinkum and kusadasi are mainly built for tourists, bodrum had his own character.

We have a house near bodrum, yalikavak and we really love it

Anyone looking to live full-time in Turkey should consider Kusadasi as it changes very little in the winter. Great weather and a town still alive makes it a popular place for those making a permanent move to Turkey. Unlike Altinkum, Kusadasi was always Kusadasi before the tourists starting coming; it has just expanded but definitely not "tourist built".
We have a great expat community here plus a large local community so the town carries on outside of the summer season. Plus it's only 45 mins from Izmr airport and an hour from Izmir itself..so great for days out shopping :tup

We bought a villa in Yalikavak on the north side of the Bodrum Peninsula. It's much less commercialised than the south side and has a real village feel to it. It's very much a residential area and so lots of places stay open all the year round. It also has a fabulous new marina, if you're interested in sailing.Plenty of Brits live there permanently and some of the restaurants are British owned. It's a very friendly place and people recognise you, even if you haven't visited for a year.
