Hi all, our flights are booked for February and we have viewings booked with Olga and
Cenk from Interturk. Just wondered if anyone had any tips on do's and don'ts of buying property in Calis. :)

Have a budget and stick to it
don't just look at the property look at the whole area
don't count on holiday rentals to fund the mortgage
if theirs empty land in view guaranteed it will be built on

Just to let you know you have chosen very well with Cenk & Olga - I was involved with real estate in Turkey for a good number of years and would recommend Interturk - no skeletons in the cupboard, no scandal, great friends now and a long list of satisfied customers.
If I could offer just one (and I have many!!) piece of advice it would be to work out exactly where the property you are interested in is. Walk to the prom, or at least get your bearings. Too many people buy a property because they fall in love with it and in the blur of multiple viewings didn't note where it was in relation to bus stops, beaches, shops etc.
Good luck with the search, enjoy it - it shouldn't be a stressful experience and with Cenk I am sure it won't be.

Trust Olga and Cenk they do no what they are talking about

Even if the builder insists "this area in front is Park, no building allowed" (Hanel Houses)

Anyone care to guess whether the above "park" is still unbuilt on? :D

Budget,location,what are you going to use it for as we all get carried away with sizeand fitting out when in reality you may use it a few times a year.Be prepared not to make money on it.

I'd rent for a year first (unless it's for a holiday home !)

Do haggle on the price.

Totally agree re Scunner saying about the empty land near properties will get built on.
We found ourselves in that situation years back, we were told one piece of land would possibly become a park in the future, we thought ok we can live with that, that is now a complex and it ruined our in the distance view of the river, the 2nd piece we were told was “protected land” that is now next door an apartment block and I lost my lovely getting up to some cows tethered and grazing of a morning...we have seen sooo many buildings go up on any spare piece of land and even more areas cleared ready since we left in November & have come back!

Thanks everyone for your help, will certainly bear all your comments in mind :)

a plot of land in front of a friends apartment supposed to be for a playground when she bought it in Calis now has the Kassaba coffee shop within touching distance of her balcony.Its open all hours with live music some nights, so be careful.Its on the market road opposite the pet shop, there are still a lot of building plots in that area.

I remember Cenk (interturk) telling a customer that a property they had seen with another agent faced a plot of tourism land (i.e. for hotel development etc not residential). The customer was told by the other agent that it was just dirty tactics to stop him buying from someone else.
I assume these days he realises who was telling the truth each time he looks out of his property to see the Nevada Su Hotel, towering above.
-
When we first looked for properties the dirty word at the time was turistic no one would talk about it except Cent he point blank refused to sell any property built on turistic land and he told me a few horror stories a man you can trust
-
There seem's to be some amazing properties around, and the new builds look to be getting cheaper.

Bargains because the lira is ******ed and Turkey not the place to buy that it used to be so lots of people selling.
Buy if you are not relying on an income or making any money from your property.
