COUNTRYSIDE INTERNATIONAL : TURKEY

Turkey - 'The New Spain'

noreply@blogger.com (Countryside International) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 11:46:00 +0000

Strategically located just a 4- hour flight away from the UK Turkey is indeed a “rare jewel”.

This vast country has a diverse culture with many different regions that enjoy a range of varying climates. In the popular tourist areas an agreeable climate exists that sees long fine days of warm sunshine last for most of the year.

The country enjoys an amazing contrasting landscape that comprises a mixture of scenic mountains, lush green woodlands and extensive tracts of undulating beautiful lakeside countryside plus an extensive coastline enjoys numerous sandy beaches that gently are lapped by the warm seawater.

The Turkish people are friendly and hospitable, which together with the country’s many virtues is why Turkey is so fast becoming a seriously popular holiday destination, especially with British and European tourists, many whom believe they are discovering the “new Spain”.

The country offers superb property value plus a low cost of living, which alone makes this a most attractive lure for overseas property investors and sun-seekers.

Many who flock to buy are encouraged by the favourable accolades yet all foresee a good prospect for strong future capital growth and certain “hotspot” regions have become a property investor’s paradise.

Across the region from places such as Bodrum and Marmaris, on the Agean coast, southwards down to the warmer climes of Side and Alanya, overseas buyers are snapping up property.

Side is located in the Antalya region along the Mediterranean coast a 45 minute drive from the International airport, which is the 2^nd largest in the country and is open all year round. Nearby in Belek a golfers haven is being created with 12 championship courses that would not look at all out of place in Florida!

Property prices along this coast are still very affordable, although this will undoubtedly change with the passing of time.

Countryside International who have offices in the UK and Turkey are offering spacious new 2- bedroom apartments (800 square ft) close to the beach in historic Side from £50,000 whereas new large detached 4 bedroom 3 bathroom villas of Mediterranean style (1900 sq ft) with a private swimming pool within the same area are costing between £130,000 & £145,000.

Such property if it were located in the Costa del Sol of Spain would cost at least £500,000 making these homes absolutely wonderful value!

Everywhere you travel to in Turkey you will find Roman ruins; Side was once a favoured romantic meeting place for Cleopatra and this one time fishing village with its amphitheatre and fine ancient ruins is now one of the most popular holiday destination, whereas nearby Aspendos has one of the best preserved amphitheatres in the world and here they still present major music festival events and live theatre concerts.

A popular ski resort in the mountains near Antalya is a mere two and half hour drive from Side enabling visitors to take a dip in the sea in the morning and to then drive to ski in the afternoon, a fine combination to keep you fit and healthy!

£ Pound Sterling at a 26-year low !

noreply@blogger.com (Countryside International) — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 17:03:00 +0000

The dollar fell to record lows against the euro and several major currencies with news of a US Federal Reserve interest rate cut plus record oil prices approaching $100 a barrel.

Several of our clients are now benefiting from the weak dollar and strong sterling; with Florida sale prices in certain instances already substantially well below "market value" (upwards to 40% below the price of 3 years ago) plus the current exchange rate possibilities (an exchange rate of 2.06 has recently been achieved), this really is the time to buy !

The tide is turning! We are experiencing a trend that sees droves of experienced UK property investors turning their backs on UK property investment and they are looking further afield to places such as Florida, Panama and Turkey......

In the UK we understand the Nationwide building society's October house price index is expected to show the rate of increase in UK property sales slowing to 0.3 percent on the month and 8.6 percent on the year.

We hope you can join us so that we can meet you in person to advise you firsthand and remember if you would like to obtain some complimentary tickets just call and ask on 08456 444 747

Following is the exhibition/seminar schedule:

'The Property Investor Show'
London Excel, One Western Gateway, Royal Victoria Dock, London E16 1XL
Friday 21st - Sunday 23rd September 2007
Stand 635

Turkey Seminar 2.45 pm (45 mins)
Friday 21st September - Room 4
Is Turkey the New Spain ?
Just a short 4-hour flight away from the UK where the east meets the west, Turkey is a rare jewel indeed. The country is rich in history, has a diverse culture and is fast becoming a major tourist destination for European and British visitors alike. Its combination of a wonderful climate, affordable living costs and low property prices is luring many investors and retirees who seek an attractive destination and new way of life.

Florida Seminar 12 noon (45 mins)
Saturday 22nd September – Room 5

Is it pain or gain in Florida ?
With considerable media and press speculation about the current US housing slowdown, discover the truth about property sales and current investment opportunities in Florida, the most popular US state with British property buyers ? What does the future hold and is this a good time to buy ?

The facts & stats will be clarified from my perspective as an experienced and active Florida real estate specialist.

Panama Seminar 1 pm (45 mins)
Sunday 23rd September - Room 5

Panama - A land of opportunity ?
With massive financial investment currently pouring into Panama, the Central American country at the international crossroads of the western hemisphere, there surely must be very good reason; besides its political stability, tax incentives and visa retirement programme, there are many other reasons why the country is currently experiencing an unprecedented economic and housing boom. Although mostly South American and US buyers readily recognise the investment opportunities, the amount of European & British buyers to date has been low, although more recently the numbers have been steadily rising !

This is a truly exciting investment market and our real estate sales experience and my personal purchase activities within the country over the past few years have taught me much !

If you can’t get along to this show please feel free to call us about any matter whatsoever on 08456 444 747 …we can still let you know about the 'special deals' that we have negotiated !
Oh and we’ll be in Birmingham at the end of the month so we’ll let you have details about this show shortly !
