Apparently the new owners have got plans to raise the level of the garden with several hundred tonnes of spoil and 'compost'. They're also going to raise the surrounding walls to about 8 feet and install an above ground pool. A further half a million TL investment in the property.

We left Turkey last October after living there for 20 years. Loved Turkey and the people but felt it was time to move on and returned to live in UK. We are so glad now that we are in UK with our loved ones during this crisis and have settled back in so well. It was just time to come back - love Turkey but have no regrets about leaving. Hope all goes well for you.

Great news Alan - it’s never sold till you have the money.

Half transferred into my Yapi Kredi account on Wednesday and the rest in cash. Only just managed to get all the 1.5million TL in my rucksack.  

Just waiting for the £s to land in our UK accounts. Already paid a deposit on a car.

Who's best to transfer  your money to UK with Kkob please.

I wouldn't really know davybill. I just put the whole lot into my TL account at Yapi Kredi. Then had most of it transferred to my GBP account and gave them instructions on amounts to transfer to our UK accounts. We were more interested in having good contacts that we could rely on at YP than to go shopping around.

OK.Cheers hope all goes well

An update davybill. The first tranche of money has arrived and the transfer of £100,000 from my Yapi Kredi GBP account to my UK Santander account cost me the grand sum of £15. So, as you can imagine, I'm well pleased.
