For some time now Turkey has proven extremely popular to those looking to buy a property overseas.
The reasons for this are many but one of the more obvious is the fact that a property in Turkey is incredibly good value and far less expensive than other areas with such magnificent beaches, warm weather and friendly locals. In fact it’s perfectly possibly to buy a stunning property in Turkey without breaking the bank as it were.
That’s because lovely two or three bedroom villas in Turkey can start from as little as £70,000 while you can expect to snap up an apartment for as little as £30,000.
Property for sale in the Aegean region
For more desirable areas such as the Aegean region and property for sale in Kalkan it’ll cost a bit more. But then the amenities, including a stunning beach and outstanding facilities, are far more upmarket and luxurious in nature.
These areas are also far easier to access thanks to the relatively nearby Dalaman international airport. In fact, property for sale in Fethiye – as well as Kalkan – is proving extremely popular with investors who are buying up villas and apartments to rent out as holiday homes.
Here at Oceanwide Properties we currently have a contemporary one bedroom apartment in Fethiye set within a residential complex sitting 10 minutes drive away from the town centre. Due to be completed in March next year, it’s selling for as little as £32,500. Meanwhile a modern three bedroom apartment for sale in Deliktas, Fethiye is selling for as little as £47,000.

You can expect to pay a basic utilities bill of around 212.50 YTL per month in Istanbul compared to 472.76 in London (an increase of 122.48 per cent).
