Turkey recommended to foreign property buyers-150708

Overseas property buyers have been advised to consider purchasing a residence in Turkey.

According to Property Wire, the European country offers a number of lifestyle attractions such as spectacular scenery, sandy beaches and affordable living costs.

As a result, it is now attracting a record number of foreign property buyers from countries such as the UK.

In addition, it is also proving to be very popular with holidaymakers, as visitor numbers are nearly 20% on last year.

This means it could be a potentially lucrative investment market, as growing tourism is leading to increased demand for rental property in hotspots such as Bodrum.

Property Wire commented: "Despite the economic gloom back home, 2008 looks like being a bumper year for the Turkish tourist industry."

This comes after research by Co-operative Travel found that the European country has displaced hotspots such as Spain in terms of its popularity with tourists.
