Spring update from Alanya



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 involved

We would like to make this clear: If you use your holiday home yourself or lend it to friends or family, then no one has to register with local authorities.

New evaluation reports when transferring deeds

When buying and selling housing that involves foreigners an evaluation report must now be prepared to determine the value of the unit involved.

This is going to make it a bit more expensive to transfer a title deed to a new owner.

Why this only applies to foreigners is not entirely known, but rumor has it that this is due to the upcoming election. 
Since the authorities fear losing votes they will not apply this new regulation to the Turks until after the election.

Yes, it sounds completely crazy and is therefor probably also correct.
