The lure of living and working abroad is a strong one for many people. Most of them are not rich and can't afford to go and live wherever they choose, so they inevitable look around for somewhere that's affordable and safe with friendly people and easy living.
That's not always possible on a budget. However, there's always an exception to every rule, and Turkey is the exception in this case. In this article we will present 5 reasons for looking at homes in Turkey with a view to buying and moving to Turkey .
1. The price is right! Turkey represents one the best investment chances there are in the Mediterranean basin right now. You can easily pick up an apartment in a beachside complex for approximately £25,000 to £30,000.
Yes, you read that right! A modest apartment that would suit a couple can be had at a price that will amaze you. The quality will be amazing throughout too. You will have access to a shared pool and parking area. The beach will be close by, as well as shops and other amenities. Homes in Turkey have certainly moved up in the world.
2. The cost of living is tiny compared to the UK. If your budget is not very expansive, Turkey is not very expensive and therefore ideal for you. Even if you can afford to splash out a bit, you'll still enjoy keeping more of your money than you expected to.
How much did a loaf of bread cost you recently? Expect to pay a tiny fraction of that in a Turkish market. How much did you pay for your pint of beer the other weekend? Expect to pay less than one third of the amount in Turkey. How much did you pay for that meal for two the other week? Cut that bill in half, and then in half again in Turkey!
3. The standard of living is very high. You can expect to have all the mod cons you might find in any part of the UK. Turkey is a modern country with a young population and they want what the rest of the first world countries have. This is a country that is taking its place at the forefront of modern society, and it intends to stay there too.
4. Modern homes in Turkey now conform to EU standards and regulations. Turkey is in the process of applying to join the European Union and is expected to complete the process in the next few years. For this reason they adopted European legislation as regards building from around the year 2000.
New homes in Turkey are now a lot more reliable than they ever have been. You can depend on the integrity of the structure, and there are regular checks as building progresses, just as in the UK and other European countries.
5. The weather. It has nothing whatsoever to do with homes in Turkey, but it certainly makes living a lot easier when the weather is nice. You can depend on the Turkish weather to be sunny and warm right throughout the summer. It rains in winter, but no more so than you might expect. The climate in Turkey is one of the finest you will find within easy reach of the UK.
