Hi again found a telephone number for Earthquake insurance
Fethiye 2526144020
-
try baris, we got ours there, they are in fethiye and they advertise in the land o lights
-
there is a british company based in central london that i understand is about to offer insurance for any property in turkey. my undrstanding is that they are dealing direct with a company in &Istanbul. long weay to come for the assesor if you had a claim.
-
Any Sigorta will sell you earthquake insurance.

lets hope we dont have an earthquake in the not too distant future.lets hope if we do that the insurance company offering the insurance isnt swallowed during it. :D:D:D:D
-
most banks will sell you the earthquake insurance as well as car and house contents.
-
We now use Baris, he gave us more cover for a lesser cost than the bank we were using. We also use him for all other types of insurance, he is always "best value". No, we have connections. 8)
-
But can he get insurance cover for houses built from wood. no-one up till now in turkey can get that. let alone earthquake insurance included as well
-
Brian,
Give him a call or email, I suspect he can, he does the big companies. 8)
-
no he doesnt apparently. only one does it and they are in the uk.part of a lloyds based insurance company
-
we have just renewed our DASK with baris for 110 ytl
-
I have just found a company in England that will insure your holiday home in Turkey. They are quite rteasonable and also included in the price is public liabillity insurance.
You can take this policy out in England and also there is no limit to the time you leave your property empty.
All documentation is in English and the policy is underwritten by LLoyds.
If anyone is interested I will post the website. (if I am allowed to do that?)
-
Only hearsay but I was told either Finans or Garanti would insure wooden costructions. :) Not sure which one it was though.

Colmoor 'But can he get insurance cover for houses built from wood. no-one up till now in turkey can get that. let alone earthquake insurance included as well'
I've done a fair of research into wooden houses, as i would like to build one, and it is very difficult even impossible to get ins cover for wooden houses. There is a policy for stone and timber houses though.
-
We could not get cover from Finnans bank for our stone house. We were told that because the tapu said "kargir ev" which they say means made from hand crafted stone they would not insure it as it does not have metal re-inforcing
We got it at a good price in England.
-
yes its a big insurance company based back in the uk. not some back street broker. afriend who is back in the uk for a few weeks did some research for a company based in turkey who are building wooden houses here.
its onl been in the last four or so weeks that thls infromation has become available. the company here actually are advertising insurance is now available on the wooden houses
-
colmoor, could you PM me with the info... unless you can post it.
-
yes they can they have only just started offering insurance for wooden houses
-
i will have to get in contact with my fr#351;end who set the insurance deal up hope you can wait for a couple of days as i only access my e-mails on wednesdays and mondays
-
no problem thanks in advance
-
Just out of interest we did our earthquake/house/contents cover with an agent for Basak Sigorta in Fethiye and it cost us £190 for a 2 bed apt including the DASK earthquake cover (89 ytl).
Its called a Superhouse policy but we left out the medical and personal accident bolt ons as its just a holiday base.
