Property in Turkey

Hello everyone and welcome to yet another update on what is happening in and around Alanya! Do we even have to mention the sun, the blue sky and the cooling and crystal clear Mediterranean? Of course not, so we wont :-) Julio & Ricky is heading for the Expo:  This is not the first time we mention Expo Antalya but since new acts and activities are constantly added to the events calendar we feel like reminding everyone about the opportunities at the expo Coming up are concerts with both Julio Iglesias and Ricky Martin. So head over to the event section of the Expo web site, take a closer look at what is available and get your tickets now.

Once the calendar tells you that we are well into the month of July there is no denial anymore - it is summer in Alanya, temperature has already increased into the 30+ range and your air conditioning unit has become your new best friend. Since our last blog update some pretty exciting things has happened. So lets get started and bring you the latest updates from in and around Alanya as well as updates from us here at 2Base Estate Agency. Surprisingly, local team Alanyaspor managed to reach the play-off final where they clashed with Adanaspor in a very intense and hard fought final for promotion to the best Turkish football league, Süperlig In the end a penalty shoot-out decided the outcome and Alanyaspor came out on top mainly because several Adanaspor players had problems even getting their penalty attempts on target.  So get ready, next year giants Fenerbahce, Galatasarya and Besiktas will be playing Alanyaspor.

Last couple of month there hasn't been all that much activity here at our blog.  But we are back now and will take a look at some of the exciting things that has been going on while we were napping. - Expo in Antalya - Alanya 2016, what will happen? - Alanyaspor - Life at 2Base Are you ready? Very well, lets get started then...

When a year is about to come to an end it is time to take a deep breath and look back on the happenings and events of the year that has passed. In the real estate sector two questions are always asked. "How is the market?" (as in how are sales currently) and then of course "how will it (the market) develop?". We believe that as an estate agent you will have two different choices of answer. You can give a "real-estate-answer".  This means that things are always good no matter how bad they really are and the market will always develop positively no matter how dark the forecasts are. Or you can give an honest answer based on facts.  At 2Base we truly believe in the second option. So, how is the market?

Browsing online property web sites can often be both confusing and frustrating, especially when it comes to properties abroad where your knowledge about each of the local area and their pluses and minuses might not be complete up to date. Some time ago 2Base introduced a new way of sorting for properties called "themes". This is essentially a new way of putting all of our properties into different kind of categories making it easier for you as a customer to understand of this property might be of your interest. We have a variety of themes such as "Beach-lovers", "Penthouse", "View", "Bargains" and so on. Which kind of properties you can find under each theme should hopefully be easy to figure out :-) But what is the new thing? 

No doubt that Alanya is number 1 :-) The big questions is then who the runner ups are.... We would definitely recommend Bodrum for a top 3 position and in case you have not already been there, then surely it is time to go for a visit. Bodrum actually consists of a peninsula on which you can find several bigger and smaller cities.  Bodrum city itself is worth a visit, but for the accommodation most people prefer the more quite and peaceful areas. We can recommend the area of Yalikavak and Gümüslük where you can get absolutely fantastic accommodation and views all the way to the Greek islands across the Aegean sea. The Bodrum peninsula has always been known for attracting jet-setters and everyone else that wants a taste of luxury.

For pretty obvious reasons it has always been popular to invest in a holiday home together with other members of the family or close friends.  In that way costs are split between more people and the holiday home will not stay empty for longer periods.  Also many families buying together enjoy actually visiting the apartment at the same.  The space might be a bit tight but what is better than enjoying the sun and beach in the company of your best friends and family? There are a few practical issues though to consider before teaming up with your best friends or parents and investing together. - Always make sure that the official share of the apartment corresponds to the actual ownership. So in case you paid for 2/3 of the apartment and your friends family paid for 1/3, this must also be reflected on the title deed.
