We had lovely friends in Calis who built their dream house in Uzmulu. However, the lady would not drive in Turkey and unfortunately, her husband contracted an eye condition that made him unable to see well at night and he would not drive at night.
We met them for lunch one day in Calis and she was very unhappy and felt cut off and was no longer liking her life in Uzmulu, althoug they had also encountered many problems with the house and used up all their savings, mainly due the Estate Agent they bought from. (whcih is another long and sad story) They put the house on the market and moved back to the U.K. but it took 3 years to sell it.
I think they should have rented for a year first before they took the plunge and moved.
