Considering A Custom Build Property, Turkey Could Be Just The Place!

Custom Build Property: Turkey
An alternative to buying off plan overseas is a custom built property. This is becoming a popular choice for many and Turkey is one of the most popular locations to build.

Apart from the superb climate, its many beaches, a rich culture and history, Turkey has a booming tourist industry, important if you are planning to let your property, a fast improving economy and excellent potential for property investors.

Advantages Of A Custom Build Property in Turkey

Well it's pretty obvious isn't it! But let's list them anyway:-

You get to choose exactly what you want your property to look like. You select the materials used for flooring, worktops, bathrooms etc. New strict building regulations will ensure good build quality. Depending on the land available you choose where you build it. You are in control of the final outcome. It can be very satisfying to 'create' your own dream home.

Things To Consider For A Custom Build Project

The most important issue at the outset is are you going to manage the build yourself? Whilst you can control costs and not have to pay someone else it will be very time-consuming. You might choose to live on site and deal with local builders and contractors but you will need to have experience of this sort of project and possibly be able to speak the language. If you manage the project from the UK you may lose the sense of control and obviously your telephone bill will be high!

Are you going to use a project manager? This means paying someone else but they will have the experience and contacts on the ground in Turkey. There are UK companies that offer this service and they will be able to advice you on costs, local Turkish planning regulations and permissions.

Whatever your decision you should not take it lightly. Yes there are profits to be made or the thrill of having your very own designed home in an idyllic setting, but there are risks! Take your time and do your research and these will be reduced and a successful outcome more likely.
