Turkey benefits from 'low prices and accessibility'

Those looking for an investment property in the sun may wish to consider houses or apartments in Turkey.

The country offers apartments in holiday resorts from as little as £19,000 and with plenty of budget flights available, purchasing a property in Turkey may be a wise investment, according to the Sunday Mail.

Turkey currently has extremely competitive property prices, particularly in relation to its Mediterranean rivals, such as holiday favourites Spain and Portugal.

Stuart Malloy, who recently bought an apartment in Didim, said: "I'd been looking to buy abroad for years but the cost of property in the Mediterranean and the Canaries really put me off.

In addition to the holiday essentials such as sun, sand and pools, Turkey has a wealth of alternative activities, including historical and cultural attractions.

With government plans to invest 200 million lira (£81 million) to increase tourist numbers two-fold in the next 15 years, purchasing rental property now could provide a healthy return.
