Foreign buyers 'target Turkish resorts'

Foreign owners of property in Turkey tend to buy homes in the country's large resort cities, new data shows.

The Anatolia News Agency published figures released by the Land Registry Directorate General, which revealed that 113,687 immovable properties in the nation are owned by those from overseas.

According to the research, destinations such as Antalya, Mugla and Aydin are among the most popular locations among this demographic.

Meanwhile, Istanbul and Bursa also attract their fair share of foreigners who are interested in purchasing real estate in Turkey.

Brits, Greeks and Germans hold the most homes in the country, the statistics show, with UK citizens the most active in the Turkish property sector.

Earlier this month, director of Conti Clare Nessling wrote in an article for Mortgage Strategy that Turkey is "one of the biggest hotspots" for buyers from Britain.

She noted that "great property prices" can be found in the country, while the growing tourism industry means good rental returns can also be achieved.
