Thanks to everyone who wished me well. Fingers crossed it all goes to plan!!! Couple of answers - yes, I intend to live permanently in Turkey. The areas I am interested in include Fethiye (outskirts) and possibly Oren, although I am having mixed reports about rights of foreigners to buy here!! As regards to the long term rental, I think I must have just been in the right place at the right time. My priority was a walled garden, not shared, for my dogs, and this I found on the last but one day of looking. I saw lots of great options for long term rentals but found that these proved more expensive from British owners, although not all!!
Again, by being in town, of course you hear of much more than trying to do it from the UK, so my advice would be come out of season, when pennies are a bit short, and ask around. Good luck Linda. Cheers. Maggie Machin.Javascript:insertsmilie('
