Turkish resorts offer investment potential

Overseas property buyers have been encouraged to consider potential investment opportunities in Turkey.

According to Dominic Whiting, editor of Buying in Turkey, new flights to the popular holiday resort of Dalaman have recently been launched by easyJet.

This means that the region is likely to see a surge in visitor numbers over the next few months, which in turn will push up demand for rental accommodation.

As a result, owners of property in Dalaman could be well-placed to earn a profit from the rental yields.

Speaking to Homes Worldwide, Mr Whiting said: "The start of low-cost flights into the Turkish resort will be a huge boost to the fledgling holiday lettings market."

He added that choosing the right location for a property is very important, particularly if they plan to let it out to holidaymakers.

This comes after John Bevan, managing director of Lastminute.com, told the Daily Mail that Turkey has displaced countries such as Spain and France in terms of the number of online searches and bookings it has received.
