Title: Looking for Property
Post by: Wagon Wheels on September 16, 2016, 14:46:04 PM
Will be visiting Uzumlu in a couple of weeks to view a 2 bed villa, and was wondering if anyone on the forum has a property for sale in the area.  Would prefer a minimum of 2 beds/2baths at a maximum of £55,000, do any of the members have or know of any private sales like this in the area, many thanks

Try Cenk at Interturk Estates.  However, £55,000 sounds a little cheap for a two bed two bathroom villa.

Quite a few two bed/bath properties for sale sub £60k with different agents - it would appear to be a buyers market up there, makes you wonder why?

If you're a cash buyer I'd bet there's a few outside your price range that would take an offer.

I looked at a few Turkish Estate agencies but did not see any as cheap as £55,000. However, if the English Agents are selling them and there are a few for sale, I would wonder why there are so cheap in Uzumlu??
I know there is a three bedroom villa for sale near us  and they have turned down £115,000 because they want £125.000.

A property is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. Depending on the circumstances of the vendor there can be a very wide difference between the selling prices of what appears to be very similar properties. I would guess that with the current apparent unease of a lot of expats there are serious bargains to be had at the moment.  :( 8)

From my experience of expats in Uzumlu there is no unease. My son has been looking recently and the prices are holding steady.

Yes it's best to talk a positive game if you own & live there :D

My experience of expats in Uzumlu (far longer than your 1 year) is that I have friends who had to drop 60k to get sold there, selling at less than they paid in 2004 when it was cheap as chips to buy there.

Yoshi,  I think you should go to the older thread about Uzumlu and have a read through them.  It seems to be a bit like Marmite.
Title: Re: Looking for Property
Post by: Yoshi on September 17, 2016, 20:47:27 PM
Yes Jacqui I have read them all and can except that it's not for everyone but as I've said before I believe it's down to what your used to generally in life. If you live in the country in the UK how could you be happy in Calis, Ovicek or Hisanaru, personally I can't think of anything worse so I guess that makes every area Marmite.

Yoshi, I live in the country in the UK.  I lived and am moving back to Ovacik.
I Suppose its a bit like everywhere, nicer bits, quieter bits. Each to their own 'eh

Yoshi, We have lived in the country in Scotland since 1983 and our place sits on a hill 1/3 of a mile from the main road, we have no near neighbour's. No street lights, no Tarmac road, no milkman, no bin pick up, also bonus no salesman calling.   We have fields all around us, with birds  of prey in the sky.  We have pheasants in our garden, grouse, hares, rabbits, deer, we have a view of Slains Castle and the North Sea and we watch the Shetland ferry pass by every night, we love the peace and quiet of our country home.
Our place in Calis is right at the back and has farmers near us and is very peaceful, we have great neigbhours who we like very much.  We are also just 5 minutes from the prom and 15 minutes from Fethiye.  We bought our place in 2005 and love Calis.  We would not consider anywhere else in the area and particular not a 20 minute drive up in the mountains.  However, we are all different and all love different things.  I hope to read in 10 years time that you are also enjoying where you have your Turkish home...Very good luck and best wishes.

BernieTeyze, it's exactly that ! Each to their own but that doesn't make anywhere bad just a matter of personal choice.
Jacqui you don't need to sell it to me, I am happy that you are too. let's hope your right and if I'm happy in Uzumlu in 10 years I will take you for a drink to celebrate.

you will get an apartment for your budget, the prices up here are holding as there are a lot of people from Istanbul buying.

Must say that we have seen some great properties for our budget, including a 2 bed stone house and a detached 2 bed bungalow in quite a large plot of land, but as our sale has stalled!!!!!! We were unable to complete on any of them. But have been really surprised how low some of the prices have been. There are some very cheap properties out there at the moment.

We had a look there in May and walked past this one, It was very central. Its been for sale for well over a year now and the price has not reduced. However we feel that we would be happier nearer Fethiye.

Lots of none Brits buying in the Fethiye area and we were surprised that two houses near us were sold for the asking price.   We had an Estate Agent coming to our place asking if we knew of any houses for sale in our area.
Seems he has customers waiting.
However, there seems to be a lot of property at very cheap prices in Uzumlu possibly becasue people do want to live down near Fethiye and not so far up in a mountain area.
