Sinking homes.
« on: August 07, 2018, 19:44:09 PM »
Before we embark on our search in and around Calis, I have been made aware that certain areas are not good to buy in due to marsh land, and poor sub soil.  I would really appreciate some advice and help on this.  Thanks.  xx

If you want an honest opinion in respect of this, speak to Cenk at Interturk - he also happens to be a (fully qualified) structural engineer.  He'd never sell you a dog, then again neither would Ronnie.

Avoid like the plague - lots of properties get flooded in that area every winter and no one will tell you if they are trying to sell.

I have known Cenk at Interturk for over 15 years now and he point blank refuses to sell any property that he doesn't have structural faith in. Reputation before profit - rare in some parts.

My comment wasn't intended as a slur on Cenk, but really I would be very wary about buying in that area.

Haha I didn't think it was - your opinion is the same as his about those areas. I took it you meant avoid those properties like the plague, not avoid Cenk like the plague :D

Thank you for your replies.  Im talking more Koca Çaliş, not Çiftlik, I have been told about Çiftlik flooding.   Although we have spent many years visiting the area, we haven't been there throughout the rainy season, so value everyones input. Xx

Sue, Koça Çaliş is part of Çiftlik council area and generally the coast side of the D400 so a lot lower lying, Ciftlik village is the other side of the D400 and on a hill so most properties have a sea view as they rise away from the sea, it’s a big area!

Thank you so much Simon, I didn't realise this ( obviously),  I thought they were different areas.  I appreciate that little bit of info.  Xx
