The global economic downturn had led to a huge shift in attitude towards overseas property investment, with many choosing to hold off until economies show signs of improvement. However, the Turkish property market seems to have defied this trend, continuing to flourish despite the negative impact felt by other countries. A number of possible reasons for this have been indentified.

Turkey’s economic and political circumstances have undoubtedly contributed to the country’s growing property market. Mediterranean destinations once popular with tourists and property investors have been somewhat shunned as people consider alternative non-eurozone locations, where they’ll get more for their pound. Turkey’s tourism has benefitted significantly from this change, and investors have turned their attention accordingly.

Turkey’s application to the EU has also contributed to increased confidence in stability of the country’s economy. With property investors taking advantage of new government laws surrounding foreign property ownership as they make investment decisions; Turkey is starting to seem like the obvious choice.

Cheap flights lead to repeat visits, so Turkey has also seen the advantages of numerous budget airline routes to and from UK airports. This increased accessibility ensures continued rental income throughout the year – and when tourists arrive in Turkey, the low cost of living means they can eat, drink, shop and visit attractions without breaking the bank!

With such a wide range of destinations – cities like Istanbul and coastal resorts that offer visitors the opportunity to completely relax, as well as a unique blend of European and Asian cultures, there are also plenty of reasons for visitors to return again and again to Turkey, each time sampling the delights of a new part of the country. From Istanbul to Bodrum, Fethiye and Antalya, the Turkish tourism industry has wide appeal and caters to a variety of holiday maker’s requirements.

All this, coupled with an enviable Mediterranean climate – with almost year-round sunshine and scorching temperatures – there’s every reason for tourists to hold such high regard for Turkey…and where the tourists go, the property investors will follow as they cash in on rental opportunities. Flats, apartments, villas and traditional houses available to foreign investors mean that prices suit a range of budgets.

All of the factors described above serve to illustrate the varied reasons that demand for property in Turkey continues to rise despite a troubled global economy. If you’re considering overseas property investment, there’s huge potential across the country – whether you’re looking for a holiday home to make frequent trips to throughout the year, or if you’d like somewhere to provide you with an ongoing additional income.

The popular resort of Hisaronu is one of the most popular destinations on Turkey’s beautiful Aegean coast. Offering an enticing blend of superb beaches, shops, bars and restaurants, Hisaronu has proven an increasingly popular tourist destination over the past couple of years. Subsequently, there has been an increase in the demand for property in Hisaronu, as increasing supply continues to outweigh demand.

Following the recent opening of the superb new Dalaman International Airport, a number of low cost airlines have now announced a range of daily route into Dalaman, offering return flights from the UK as low as £79.99.  With the airport being located just under an hours drive from the major resorts of Hisaronu, Fethiye and Olu Deniz, it is likely that the entire Mugla region will see increased visitor figures in the coming years.

One of the key benefits of Hisaronu, is its close proximity to the superb beach at Olu Deniz, where the turquoise blue lagoon and golden sand beaches have appealed to large numbers of British tourists in recent years. A family orientated resort, the protected status surrounding the resort of Olu Deniz has resulted in a large number of visitors to the region basing themselves in the resort of Hisaronu, and taking the short bus ride down to the beaches for the day. At night however, the cooler climate on offer at Hisaronu (although only 10 minutes in a bus from Olu Deniz, Hisaronu is 1,500m above sea level) prove to be an appealing alternative to the warmer beach areas.

Similarly to Olu Deniz, the resort of Hisaronu has been afforded protection as part of the national park. As such, development is closely regulated ensuring all building work is of the highest standards, and is designed to be in keeping with the local environment. The increasing levels of regulation and restriction on building work have ensured that there remains a high level of demand for property in Hisaronu, whereas supply is restricted. As such, there is a consistent upwards pressure on prices in the Olu Deniz and Hisaronu regions, which look likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
