It won't help selling property though unless you find non Turkish buyers :(

In all my years of going to Turkey I have never changed my tl into GBP's once back in uk, i have always kept it for the next trip, therefore Iv never paid much attention to what the exchange rate is this way round, I know its not good, does the buy back rate show on XE please?

P.S. This is not quite the same as a "buyback rate" if by that you mean a special agreement you made with the currency supplier to buy back any unspent lira at an agreed customer rate. But, since you don't usually change back to £s, I guess you don't have one of these.

In terms of property, if you agree that prices aren't hugely different to ten years ago, 2008, a £45k 2 bedroom apartment in Calis would cost a Turkish buyer 108,000 TL (2.40/£) back then. Although the price in pounds hasn't changed, today they would need to find 243,000 TL.

Here is the Moneycorp Guarantee

For your unspent currency, we will:

  • Buy it back at the same rate that you bought it.
  • Not charge any commission.
  • Buy back any travellers cheques that you purchased from us.
  • To use Buyback Guarantee, simply ask one of our cashiers before starting your transaction in-branch.
But they have a relatively poor exchange rate of 5.16 so the buy back rate would be 19.37p - so you'd lose on taking it out (compared with changing in Turkey) but gain on buyback. Not really worth it.
