Looking for a 12 month rental

like a tarantula you mean?

There was a topic on here that is now archived that starts with a rather smug (and I quote) "i bought my 20yr old Turkish villa 5 years ago without using an estate agent, i did it with the help of my turkish friend and saved a lot of money".

It ends with another quote, one for around £6000 to get the permissions sorted and prevent it's demolition. Is it safe to look at? If you like surprises and later totally unexpected expense running in to thousands, it'll be a blast! Your choice of course, as the guy in this example said, he saved a lot of money.

I think you are missing his point entirely...

If you want to take the chance on losing all your money and perhaps your sanity then go right ahead, don't let any of us stop you.
If, on the otherhand your willing to use this forum for the advice and knowledge that is freely given then you'll end up with a place in the sun and a relatively stress free retirement.
The choice is yours

I smell a hidden agenda but then I could be wrong.

I don't think Epsomboy seems the type to do anything rash Anne - his fantasies about buying/renting a property go right back 3 years to 2008 when he was known as Lee08:

Epsomboy, I KNOW that you are totally missing the very valid points made by Keith,(Scunner, Forum owner). If you bring up "Archived Posts", with regards to this subject, on The Forum, you will very quickly see that the mere thought of ANYONE even considering purchasing property in Turkey, without the good auspices of an accredited estate agent/ solicitor, brings a very icy chill to Forum members. The amount of people who have been ripped off, robbed of their life savings, left destitute in a foreign country, is, quite frankly, BLOODY TERRIFYING. (Sorry for shouting, Boss, but, sometimes, needs must).
However, epsomboy, if you think that YOU can somehow buck the trend, and "save money", ha-ha-, proceed.
Gordy.

Sorry, Boss, I took so long to write this that you got those points up before I posted.   Methinks that there may be a new Property Rental site coming along soon, hosted by "you know who"??

Like to ask a question,
if someone decides to sell do they always have to use an agent?  Surely its not always the case is it?
There must me people on here who would much rather sell private then use an agent?
Or am i getting it all wrong?
