We are back...


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...

Expo in Antalya
End of April the Expo 2016 will open in Antalya and already around 1 million tickets should be sold. 
The exhibition will be open all summer and be transformed into a park and recreational area after the end of the Expo. 

The Expo is located close to Antalya airport and you can find much more info about Antalya 2016 Expo here. 

Alanya 2016
What will happen in Alanya this year and what impact will the refugee situation in Europa, the internal political conflicts and the cool relationship between Turkey and Russia have?

There is no short answer to a questions such as this, but it does of course effect not only Alanya but Turkey as a country.

Add to this that the minimum salaries in Turkey was raised by an astonishing 30 percent at the beginning of the year since this was a part of the promises made by the government before last election.

This has - apparently as a surprise to the politicians - led to an increase in unemployment that now again are two-digit.

Areas that solely are dependent on tourism such as Belek, Kemer and Lara are suffering the most. Cities that are more divert such as Alanya will definitely feel the negative impact, but will be less affected since the economy does not solely depend on tourism.

Our wishlist to the politicians for 2016 are.
- Spend less time fighting each other
- Spend more time on politics
- Spend less time on just trying to consolidate your own power and wealth
- Spend more time doing things from which the people of the country will benefit

Life at 2Base
It might sound like we are at but boring, but really there is not much to tell. 

We are as usual busy...

Currently we are working to optimize our web site so that we online can present our properties in an even better way.

It is pretty easy and our office is located in the center of Alanya.

Alanyaspor
Currently Alanyas best football team on its way to make it to the Turkish superleague. The web site of the club is only in Turkish but still worth a visit. 
Among other things you can follow the results and fixtures of Alanyaspor.

With four rounds left the club has a one point advantage of its nearest rivals... So it is getting pretty exiting.

The weather
We almost forgot... The sun is of course shining...

Size of a Turkish squaremeter

  This time, we will examine something that should seem quite simple: the size of a square meter. First, let's see what Wikipedia has to say on the subject: The square meter is a unit of area. It is defined as the area of a square whose sides measure exactly one meter. For those particularly interested in the subject, it is worth noting that one square meter equals 0.000001 square kilometers or 10,000 square centimeters. One question Wikipedia does not answer is the size of a Turkish square meter. Experience has taught us that one European square meter and one Turkish square meter are not equal. This is most obvious when we receive the floor plans for the units we promote. These are often quite exaggerated, and we often see 2-bedroom apartments listed as 150 square meters. However, visiting the apartment in question often reveals a different story. In other words, the 150-square-meter apartment turns out to be just 100 square meters. The main reasons for this are: - In Turkey, info...

Hottest topic of Alanya is about your guests

  Recently the most discussed topics related to real estate in Alanya is without doubt the amendments to the law about short time rental of privately owned property. This has led to several other discussions that are also relevant for owners of private properties that do not rent out their property. Mainly two questions are being discussed.... - When are people that are staying in my property to be considered as commercial rentals? and - Must I register my guests with the local authorities and how is that done?   On social media platforms a fierce discussion has been going on. So far most information available has been 3rd party information such as "according to.... ", "we were told that... ", "local authorities said that... " and so on. In this blog post we will take a slightly different approach. We will take a look at the actual laws and form an opinion based on what the laws and regulations say. Before we start please note this carefully: - This inform...

Good advice when issuing a power of attorney

Good advice when issuing a power of attorney This is usually worth considering when buying or selling real estate or when you are in need of an accountant or a lawyer. Quite often, it can be useful and time-saving to issue a power of attorney to a third party, who can then act on your behalf. The process itself is simple and fast, and alone in and around Alanya there are almost ten different notary offices to choose from. These are the most important issues to remember when issuing a power of attorney: Only issue powers of attorney to persons that you trust and that you know who they are. Make sure that the power of attorney is specific and for your exact purpose only. When selling your property via power of attorney, the exact registration and location must be specified. When selling a car, the licence plate and registration must be specified and so on. If it serves a purpose, consider making a time-limited power of attorney. Use a professional translator whom you unde...
