 Nordic Travel Fair 2013 has been held again. This year there were more than 76 000 visitors. The day before the opening we were organizing the stand in order. Watching the expedition hall a little skeptical, wondering if everything is ready for the opening morning  but of course it worked. The days of the exhibition our stand was visited by a lot of familiar customers. There were also clients with whom we did not yet met; very pleasant surprises when the names familiar from e-mails or phone got faces. There were many people  who wanted to know more about either purchasing or renting housing. Some also asked general information about Turkey, in particular in Alanya housing. I wonder if due to the location of our department (in the corner of corridors) , but many times we were asked to advise the fair guests, who are looking for some specific department. Fortunately we had a map of the exhibition area, from which then together we tried to find the righ...

We are currently implementing a new map feature on both 2base.com and my2base.com. The map will give you an easy overview of what to find in your surroundings as well as nearest supermarked, taxistand, bus stop or pharmacy. The map function can be tested here:  Alanya Park Residence By clicking the tab "MAP" the map is displayed and by clicking the tab "DISTANCES" the distance to nearest pharmacy, supermarked or beach will be shown as well as distances to city centeres and sights. The last bits and pieces are still being added and final adjustments are being done. We expect the map to be fully functional end of January. It will also be possible to use the map in a large full screen version. Please note that you via the box to the right can choose which categories you want to be displayed on the map. Also the list of locations currently shown in the map is being updated automatically while you surf the map, and are displayed also to the right. As we said: Last...

A new year has just begun and for those of you who are already property owners in Turkey it is time to make sure everything is as it should be.  We made a little checklist which hopefully will prevent unpleasant surprises during the year. Insurance: Check out when your home insurance on the apartment expires, so that you remember to renew it. Contribution to owners’ association: Check out when that is due. It is very hard to make to an owners association work, when people do not pay their contribution. In the long run it will show on the quality of the building. Supervision: If you want automatic bill payment on insurance, taxes, etc. you must check that you are signed up for Supervision Service at your realtor or property manager. For instants did you remember to pay your Turkish property taxes?  Rental: If you rent out your property please reserve the weeks where you want to use the apartment for yourself as early as possible. Otherwise you risk others ha...

Some 10 years ago when foreigners started buying properties in Turkey only off-plan units from the local constructors were sold. Today there are still being sold a lot of off-plan units from the constructing companies, but in the same time the number of resale apartments being sold have increased significantly. Meaning apartments that are sold from one private person to another and often from one foreigner to another foreigner. As one of very few estate agents 2Base saw this trend and developed a system for 1) including these apartments in our portfolion and 2) of course to get them sold. The units are sold partly to own customers, partly via our network of local estate agents. Lets just say this: It has been a success, and the local estate agents in Alanya have gotten to learn that at 2Base you will always find good offers. So when these agents have a client but not the right property, they turn to us... Our systems and set-up is based on this scenario, and when a property is in...
