Welcome to CBF John, there is a wealth of information at your fingertips on here, don't be afraid to tap into it :)
-
Welcome John and your first bit of CBF advice - and there's bags of the good stuff all over the site - is the following, think about renting first before you buy, so you really find the place you want and in the area you want. ;)

welcome on board

Welcome to CBF! Lots of people have moved to Calis and Fethiye and are really happy, however I have to agree with UBT, I'd definitely try renting first. Look before you leap, you've nothing to lose by it. :D

welcome all the info you need on cbf

Welcome John, please ignore the well meaning but misguided advice thus far :)
People who are moving out full time should perhaps consider renting first. People looking for a holiday home should go out and buy a holiday home. How can renting first help!!
Speak to Cenk at Interturk Estates www.interturk.co.uk - well recommended on here and knows his stuff. There are numerous people that will sell you any old rubbish (and yes there are appalling construction examples locally) and Cenk won't take them on. Most will.
Good luck, I hope you find what you are looking for.

I obviously misread Johns post, because his children have now grown up I was thinking he was intending to move out eventually. However I still wouldn't buy until totally sure it was the right place for us. I couldn't make that decision on a fortnight or three week's holiday, though I know many CBF members have done and are very happy. Holiday or permanent it's a lot of money to tie up on a whim, particularly as long term rent is cheap. I say this because we rented for 3 years - not to live but to come as often as possible and our family could use it too. At the end of it we just were able to walk away having enjoyed the experience. Each to their own, this is just something to consider. If you do decide to buy then you can't get better advice than that from Scunner. :D

Welcome John!

Welcome . You couldnt do better than a holiday home here. We did it 4 years ago and its the best thing we ever did.
If it all ended tomorrow we would have no regrets.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome and for the advise I'll take it all on board its a holiday home my wife and I are looking for but I will visit again and look around the area more than we did on holiday I like the idea of renting long term before buying and this gives my family time to visit and enjoy a holiday before we buy a property Sorry Iv not been on the forum till now just been so busy with other things but I'll visit more often Thanks again for all the help

Welcome John!

Welcome to the Forum John. We bought our holiday home 10 years ago. We came for a week and bought the place after two days. We never regret it and love our place which we now call our Turkish Home. IMHO if you see something you fall in love with, buy it, then make it your own and enjoy it.
I also second the advise of seeing Cenk, if we were buying again, he is the only person we would consider using.

Hi John. Hope you find your place in the sun. The only advice I would give you is as others have said, go and see Cenk at INTERTURK and secondly check out how far away the nearest shops are. Our place is near the Sunday market and we love it to bits. Lots of shops,bars and good restaurants are on your doorstep. If you would like to live in a secluded area then the last piece of advise wouldn't apply of course. Happy Hunting.
