For what its worth Turkey Twinkles as posted by JMK use my company as an agent for Antalya region and they only use vetted agents. I will post my web here http://www.ba-property.com (mods if this is OK) and if it gets deleted PM me and I will forward it to you.
Bryn,
My Hubby came back tonight after two days away on business with a few properties he liked and they were printed from your site - how weird is that??
We are sitting down at the weekend with what we would like from a property and we are hopefully going to meet in the middle somewhere??!! If its possible!!
Thanks,
Joolz

Hi There is an investment company Edison Ford in the UK that seem to be OK re investing and property/land in Turkey.They also have a Turkish lawyer here in the UK which is a great idea. They seem to have all angles covered re Brits in Turkey.I am not sure if this is what you are looking for but it could be cheaper talking to them than flying out to Turkey !
find them on http://www.edisonford.co.uk
Good luck

Hi All!
Many Thanks for all your links and tips etc!!
Can anyone help me with the following.....
Say I buy a new property and need to furnish it - how do you go about it?
Can you get a package with all basics - or do you have to go and buy everything from suppliers?
What kind of price am I looking at to furnish a 2 bed property?
Thanks again!

Hi Joolz its me again! Most agents will help you with furnishing some will offer packages. I did it myself it's much more fun and much cheaper and I love the furniture I bought. Shopkeepers are brilliant at helping you, they will deliver often the same day if it's in stock. I did a 3 bed villa in good quality stuff including some solid wood handmade stuff, all the curtains, bedding, kitchen ware, white goods etc etc for £3K. When you get your place let me know and I'll give you tips on how to do it.
Hi Jools - I can recommend an Estate Agent in Bodrum - we have bought from them and know various other people who have also purchased from them. We bought from a lovely Scottish Girl call Sally - she is actually mentioned in link on the Turkey Twinkles site. The web site for Sally is Sunshineturkishhomes.com. I can supply you with more info in a private message if you wish. Happy hunting
Regards Samur

most agents charge 20% for these services... best to do the legwork yourself... also more fun

I really like April at Turkey Twinkles, if you are a bit lost and overwhelmed by all the property websites then email her with your wish list. She writes really chatty emails back and offers a personal service. Really good for the kind of person looking to relocate, buy a business or wants something out of the ordinary. She's really good at finding the unique stuff that you can't find on your own.
She's really easy to deal with and it feels more like talking to a friend who really likes Turkey too rather than talking to an agent.

Hi,
I just put a deposit down on a place in Turkey and have appointed a lawyer who is based in Turkey. The turkish lawyer has said I need to sign Power of Attourney to them so they can deal with things as I won't be in the country. I was a bit concerned as if I give them power of attourney then I assume they could do anything they wish, even sell the property without my consent (obviosuly if they were untrustworthy??) Also I know people who have bought in other countries and the lawyers there have not needed power of attourney. Is this how it works in Turkey?? I would appreciate any advice.
thanks
Rich

Rich A power of attorney is a normal way of doing things if you cant be here( I have several for clients running now) But you should limit the powers to what is needed. Did you have the POA translated before you signed it and did you discuss the terms of it before it was signed??
Hi there,
Thanks for your reply.
I have not signed it yet as I wasn't sure what to do. I didn't want to give them full power as it would be a licence to do anything without my consent. The P.O.A I have been emailed is in English. To be honest, I don't know why they need P.O.A? If there was anything to be signed then couldn't they send it to me and I could sign and send it back? How would I go about giving them limited power of attorney? Do you outline what things to give them power to do and then they would send me a new p.o.a to sign? Thing is I don't really know what they need to do?? This is the first property I have bought and finding this part a bit difficult. Would really appreciate your advice?
Many thanks

Hi again,
Below is an extract from the purchase process document the lawyer sent me. It says I can choose what to give the p.o.a for. I'm not going to be able to go to Turkey myself although I will go once the apartment is complete so I could sign the final contract then. What points do you think I should give p.o.a?? Many thanks
2. Power of Attorney to lawyer
Clients decide first on which points they would like to give their lawyer a P.O.A.
* buying and selling property in the territories of Turkey
* for signing private purchase contracts
* opening bank accounts
* connecting to water and electricity utilities
* obtaining title deeds on behalf of clients
* obtaining tax number on behalf og clients
* representing clients at the court house and acting on behalf of clients in the event of any problem regarding the purchase process.

Ric,
We gave our Emlak power of attorney and like you we were really worried about it. However, she was wonderful and the whole process went really smoothly although we did wait 8 months for our Tapu to come through. Our POA document was drawn up in Turkish but translated in English to us by a notary. I can understand your worries but this is the norm when purchasing in Turkey.

unless you give poa then you ave to sign and present for all the paperwork...this is a massive amount of work and time. the poa gives the solicitor the right to do it for you.just tick the boxes in the areas you want him to work in...eg the ones you listed. I have several friends in the marmaris area who have poa with one solicitor and have had no problems.
Hi there,
It was really the first couple in the list that I wasn't sure about. "buying and selling property " was a concern as would it be possible for them to sell the property without my say so? Also "signing the private purchase contract" I'm not sure why they would need this as I was told this would be sent to me for me to sign and send back. What do you think??

there can be several bits of paperwork concerned with your purchase... translations included..these will need to be signed for in the notary. Then there are deeds(tapu) and ruhsats to register.... believe me nothing in Turkey has minimal paperwork. he can do all this for you in your absence.
I had another read through the document and it doesn't actually say anything about selling the property. I think this was an option that could be added if needed in the future. Anyway I'm going to send it so hopefully It will be ok!! They seem like a well established firm so shaw they are not in the business of ripping people off...you never know though! 
Anyway thanks for your advice on this!
