Hello from the year of 2022

A new year has gotten off to a good start and times flies all by itself.


The year has started just as busy as it ended.


Those who thought that the time around the month of Christmas and new year would be calm with time to eat cookies, relax and tie up loose ends where mistaken.


So yes, we were mistaken...


We thought that December would be the perfect month to do a smaller renovation of our office. As mentioned, it turned out not to be correct, and what was supposed to be 10 days of working from home while the office would be closed, turned out to be two weeks with customers in the messy of construction work.


In the end everything worked out just fine and customers, partners and our proficient staff all understood the situation.

Especially a big "thank you" goes out to the latter, who always do their absolute best and solve any issue that they encounter.


The reason we started a renovation at our office is working space. We are extending our team and that requires space for additional work stations.


So next time you pass by for a cup of coffee you will probably see some new faces. And all of the old ones are of course still here.


The coffee is also the same, so everything is more and less as it has always been.



Today it is raining cats and dogs and "sunny Alanya" is not available. But rain can also be cosy and has never hurt anyone.


We really look forward to seeing you all at some point this year. Several of you has not visited Alanya for several year and we hope that 2022 will provide you with an opportunity to visit, enjoy your holiday home, enjoy Alanya and pass by our office to say hello.


Traveling as things are today often leads to a lot of questions. We are reachable in a numerous ways and are happy to answer any question you might have.


Finally I would like to take the opportunity to thank the team of colleagues here at 2Base.


Neither the notary, banks, land registry office, tax office and other local authorities are easy to work and collaborate with.


And the same sometimes goes for our customers.


So a big praise goes out to my colleagues and there ability to handle this and they way they are constructive and always seek solutions is absolutely amazing.


With that - thank you for reading.

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...

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...
