Overseas investors should consider Turkey
26 January 2008
Foreign property buyers have been advised to consider investing in the Turkish housing market. The south-east European country was recommended by Dubai-based news portal 7Days, which said it offered "fantastic" opportunities for property investors. Turkey was praised for offering a number of tempting attractions, such as scenic coastlines, excellent weather and good value for money.
One area in particular, the Bodrum peninsula, was highlighted as one location that offered all of these qualities in abundance.
Commenting on the region, 7Days said: "Bodrum offers potential investors the full criteria, making the area highly attractive." The website added that the peninsula was a "beautifully rugged" area that combined both modern facilities and attractions with elements of its past. Furthermore, it said that the local airport was the busiest in the whole of Turkey, making the region highly accessible from different parts of the world.
According to a recent survey by A Place in the Sun magazine, the country is the third most popular foreign market among British property buyers.
