Property in Turkey

More than a year ago we decided to get active on Instagram and share our best and most beautiful pictures with you. During that time we have learned that Instagram is a good place to share small and not that serious bits and pieces from our real estate lives here in Alanya. So from now on we will engage even more in "stories" on Instagram and provide you with more insights on everyday life and happenings here at 2Base. We are sure it will be fun... So far we have been running separate Instagram profiles for our English, Russian, Turkish, Finnish and Danish followers. We have to be realistic though and we will not be able to publish and maintain Instagram Stories on five different accounts. This means that soon our profile named " alanya2base " will be our only Instagram profile. So in case you are following one of our other profiles: alanya2base_ru  alanya2base_fi alanya2base_da alanya2base_tr then please unfollow and move to "alanya...

Last month of the year seems like a good time to publish our final magazine or the year - so here we go. This edition will be the most interactive that we have made so far and throughout the entire magazine we have added videos for you to watch. So keep an eye out for the small videoplayer icon that will show you where videos are available.  All the videos play directly inside the magazine, so after watching you can keep on reading from where you left. Watch for instance our Instagram Stories that shows little bit about daily life here in Alanya or join us when we show you how a Turkish barbershop works.   One of the beauties of our magazine is that most of the content has already been published on our social channels or website already.  But we know how hard it can be to follow everything from networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Vimeo, our property blog and so on. Although it is hard to admit there are other things in life than "2Base". Sad but...

Earlier this year a new expertise report was introduced when buying or selling a property in Turkey.  This means that a certified appraiser must valuate the property being traded. This value is then used as the official property evaluation and used for calculating fees for the title deed transaction, property tax among other examples. Historically in Turkey the public property values and evaluations has been a lot lower than the actual market values and traded values. The idea behind introducing this new report is to bridge the gap between the public property evaluation and the market values. The new rapport consists of a detailed description of the property, the building, similar properties within the same area among other examples. Interestingly enough this report so far is only mandatory for property transactions where foreigners are involved as either seller or buyer. As in other countries a higher public property evaluation also in Turkey equals more expe...

Before selling any holiday home in Alanya we first need to sell Alanya itself to our clients. And why is that?  Because investing in holiday home abroad is not just about squaremeters and bricks.  It is much more about fulfilling a dream about the good life. So at 2Base we have decided to make it even more obvious to everyone why Alanya is the good place. One of the things we are doing is producing our own small videos explaining what Alanya and Turkey is all about.  This can be everything from a local sight over where to eat and what to do.  We try to cover both the well-known sights as well as smaller hidden gems that are not that obvious. All videos are published on both our facebook pages and in Vimeo . So far we have covered the following topics. If you would like to watch the video on facebook, just click on the name of the video. Organic markets in Alanya Turkish barbershop Delicious smoke, Turkish styke kebab restaurants Hamaxi...

Spring is slowly coming to Alanya. The freezing and windy days are almost gone and among the tourists you even start to see short sleeves and shorts. For those of us who live here permanently long sleeves are still the preferred option, but the warm days are increasing in number. In this blog post it is time to sum up what is currently happening in and around Alanya. ---- Election The local elections are soon coming up and as usual the campaign buses from the various parties are circulating the streets and distributing their message via gigantic speaker systems. This time the AKP has sided up with the MHP party and are competing against the coalition between CHP and IYI parties. ---- To register or not to the register Among many homeowners there has been some confusion as to whether it is compulsory to register yourself with the local authorities when you or your friends and family are using your holiday home and there is no rental or letting i...
