My advice if you need to rent to pay for it then don't buy in Uzumulu as it has limited appeal to the rental market I.E. no beach no prom only a hand full of restaurants compared to Calis/Fethiye

Thanks that is helpful. So the rental market isnt good thats the kind of info I was after.

The agent didnt give me a rose tinted view Im afraid. They said that flights were now very expensive, the political situation was unstable and that most property was being bought by people from instanbul at knock down prices.  They also said that the new rental laws were forcing non resident owners to use agents who are charging a high commission and that tax had to be paid on all income as they could now check.

Thats why I wanted to get the views of the folks who live there and see if things were as bad as the agent suggested.

Just to clarify...We own a holiday home in snowdonia.. I was asking if there are any other rules that apply like they do there. For instance agents insist on a gas safety certificate each season or they wont rent it out, all electrical work down to wiring a plug has to be signed off by an electrician  etc. I was aware of the security law changes here as the agent explained them and how difficult it would be to manage that from rhe uk.

You own a holiday home in Snowdonia and you are spending £5000 a year on family holidays so you are looking to buy a holiday home.

Got it now. :D

Yep.. place in the sun.. cant really guarantee that on snowdonia..  its very lovely but can rain alot. This year we have spent 2 weeks there at the beginning of the school hols and we are on our last night of 2 weeks in icemeler today. Going home tomorrow. The snowdonia place pays for itself and our holidays. What  I was hoping to accomplish with a villa.

Hello Finlander, May I ask why you chose Uzumlu as an area to buy.
We came here to live permanently back in 2014. We decided to purchase an apartment in Ovacik. We went against the advice of the 'Frosty' ones and didn't rent first to see if we liked the area,or if it was suitable for all year round living. We ended up going back to UK within a year,the property was on the market for a year before it sold for less than we paid plus the furnishings. We came back to the same area, but in a rental villa,last October. We still don't think this is quite right for us,but now we only have to pack up and move to another one. If you have kids that need entertaining I don't think Uzumlu is really the place for you. However,just as another option for you and your family, why don't you take out a year's rental contract, you can see how you feel about the area and visit some other areas to see if they might suit you all better. You can also take advantage of the cheaper winter flights and visit for weekends etc .you will find its a whole other world in winter and a bloody cold one at that ! You also get to avoid forking out more money and registering with police etc for rentals. I do hope you haven't been put off by these sarky load of Victor meldrews..believe it or not they are the nicest bunch of people you could wish to meet and are just trying to protect your money and making sure you don't get ripped off, as well as making sure you are making the right decisions and want you to be happy in the choices you make. Good luck with your search..let us know how you get on.
