These days thousands of people are relocating to different countries or different regions within the same country, for reasons of work, business, finance, retirement and sometimes for a better life for their family. and a number of other reasons. There are also a number of ex-pats moving around the world at any given time. Our auctions in Turkey play a significant part in bolstering the number of property sales in Turkey.
Turkey is a huge country, considerably larger than France. There are characteristics of Aegean and the Middle East, with smutterings of the Balkan countries. Mosques and Orthodox churches co-exist and there are Roman theatres and temples crumbling alongside ancient cities. Gypsy festivals are an exciting part of the social landscape along with classical music concerts.
The 8,300 kilometre coastline has 4 seas; the Sea of Marmara, the Black Sea, the Mediterranean and the Aegean. The interesting terrain has several peaks exceeding 3000m, the highest being 5,16m known as Ararat, close to the border of Armenia. There is a huge lake known as Lake Van, 3,700 km2 of beautiful water in the southeast.
The population is about 70 million and is 98 percent Muslim. Besides Turkish, there are 2 dialects of Kurdish commonly spoken, whilst other languages include Arabic, Laz, Circassian, Albanian, Macedonian, Bulgarian, Romany and Greek. Well over half the inhabitants live in urbanareas; the largest cities, ?stanbul, Ankara (the capital), ?zmir and Adana, account for about 24 million people. The Turkish people, have a reputation for friendliness and hospitality which is well deserved.

Below are a number of points buyers should consider when buying property in Turkey, whether via estate agents in Turkey or buying at auction.
Finding a property
When buying property in Turkey, you can look in estate agents windows, read local papers or you have the internet which is also an excellent research tool for finding property for sale in Turkey, especially if you are buying at auction. It is thanks to the internet that we can cover every Turkish region with our auctions in Turkey.
The internet is further reaching than local estate agents in Turkey, and whilst your local estate agents will have a website, all their marketing is for their shop, not the website, therefore their websites are only ever found by people who know the address of that agent’s website. For this reason, vendors are well advised to proceed with selling property in Turkey via both estate agents in Turkey, and the internet if they are to optimise their chances not only of selling property, but of selling property at the best price...
By selling property in our on-line property auctions in Turkey, you will receive a range of bids which hopefully will be acceptable to you, but if not, it is always possible to negotiate a little from both buyer and seller to achieve a deal that everybody is happy with.
Viewing properties
Here are some useful tips to keep in mind when buying Property in Turkey:
- View the property for sale in Turkey as soon as possible. Leave it too long and you could miss out. Prepare a viewing checklist and take it to the viewing. Ask to see the deeds.
- When 2 of you are buying together, decide who will be the main viewer, and filter out all but the strongest properties.
- Don't be afraid to make several visits with tradesmen to find out what cost you could be in for. Remember if you are buying property in our on-line property auction you will need to get this done in time to bid before the auction close date.
- Check the history of any tatty, and therefore cheaper property for sale. If it's been rented it may have had several landlords, all of whom may have done the bare minimum in repair and maintenance.
- If you're tempted to buy a property to refurbish and sell on, check how long it's been on the market. If it's been for sale a long time, it suggests there isn't much profit to be made.
Making an offer:
If you really want to strike a great deal, you would always be better off checking this website, www.propertyforsalebyauction.com as it is the expectation and your offers will be taken far more seriously. The auction is not only for buying property in Turkey, but also in the UK and many other countries.
If you’re not buying from our on-line property auction, it's still human nature to try to strike a deal when buying property, but if you find your ideal property for sale, and it seems to be priced correctly, consider offering the full asking price or something close. This suggests you will be taken seriously, there’ll be no time-wasting and it will minimise the possibility of someone else buying property, or gazumping you. Unfortunately, even in difficult markets gazumping can still happen when buying property in Turkey.
Buyer Chains
With our on-line property auctions in Turkey, there are no chains, so if you want a quick easy purchase of your chosen property for sale, where you can make your bid and win a bargain, try this property auction first to avoid the hassle of chains.
Many property chains collapse. This can happen for several reasons, from one party not having finances in order, to negative survey results, not necessarily on the property for sale you are buying, but on one further down the chain. This is also frustrating for estate agents in Turkey, as they put in the same amount of work in a property for sale which collapses as they do with one which completes. Even estate agents utilise auctions in Turkey sometimes.
