Welcome / hoşgeldiniz
After nearly a decade of living and working in Turkey, it still gives me a lot of pleasure to see how surprised and entranced visitors are on their first trip to the country.
In the UK, we are a pretty sophisticated lot when it comes to knowledge about life in other’s countries – France, Spain, Italy... they all conjure up certain images. Turkey has always been a bit more of a mystery.
Turkey is in fact a rich, vibrant and proud nation. With a population of 76 million, and an average age of 28.1, the country is hungry for growth, expansion, and political and economic progress.
A country that is 99% Muslim, it operates under a secular state with equal opportunities for men and women. In today’s world it is a country that offers tremendous potential.
With getting on for a decade of experience in the coastal property market, My Turkish Home is well placed to advise on where and what to buy. Having been operating from the first heady days of the noughties we have ridden interest rate cuts, and world recessions, to ensure that we are still standing firm to help protect the investments of all our loyal clients over the years.
And of course to steer future customers in the right direction,
Altinkum and Didim is an exciting prospect. In the last 10 years the place has changed from a small backwater resort with basic hotels and an undeveloped holiday atmosphere, to a large, sophisticated multicultural and cosmopolitan town.
The area has a strong British and Turkish following. The resale market is holding its own, particularly among Turkish buyers who are more and more taking advantage of local mortgages.
The $70 million marina is open and full operational. The tender for the golf course has been awarded, national and international banks have set up branches.
Altinkum has been a special Turkish holiday resort for many years. Today its growing popularity and fast developing infrastructure makes it one of the most sought after places to stay in Turkey. Renowned for its sandy beaches, there is actually an unknown quality in the Altinkum air that draws visitors back year on year – often several times a year. Many people have taken advantage of the reasonable property prices, investing in holiday and second homes. There is now a small but growing community of British residents making their lives in this tiny corner of Turkey.
Nearly 2 years ago we were introduced to My Turkish Homes (MTH) by friends who had visited Altinkum and chosen to purchase property through MTH after visiting many estate agents. We explained what we wanted to see in the area and were immediately impressed by the professional and friendly way we were dealt with by Yildiray, Kate and their team.
As a result of their help and advise we purchased an off-plan apartment in Yesilkent. We took possession of the apartment in June last year and it was built to time scale and to the specification promised.
