Over the past five years, more people have begun to look towards Turkey as a place to travel and work. Laws that have kept expatriates from owning property in Turkey have now been lifted, and many are seizing the opportunity to invest in property in this growing market.

While the amount of people purchasing property in Turkey is not overly large, more and more people are starting to think about the opportunities that come along with investing in Turkish property. The Turkish government has even taken the initiative to advertise in an effort to increase tourism and interest in the country. As more tourists enter the country, the amount of property being sold to expatriates is sure to rise.

Most of the property being purchased in Turkey by expatriates is located in the resort communities of Turkey. Here single family homes and apartments can be found at reasonable prices. This is also where the most appreciation is expected to occur over the next few years. Property prices all over Turkey are expected to rise along with the economy thanks to the country's acceptance into the EU.

There is a large variety of apartment properties in Turkey ranging from the modest to the posh. Prices are very reasonable for all types of apartments including efficiency apartments and high end luxury apartments.

The purchase of holiday property in Turkey is something that is relatively new. Every since the liberalization of property laws in Turkey, investors have thought about the possibilities of owning holiday property in Turkey. It wasn't until the recent increase in tourism to the country, however, that investors started acting on their plans to purchase property there. Holiday properties come in the form of villas, apartments and houses, and there is a wide variety of quality and value among properties up for sale.

Granted, there are still relatively few people investing in the Turkish property market than there are in other foreign markets. This may turn off some investors, but an insightful investor will realize that now is the time to invest in Turkey property. Why? Currently, there is a wide selection of property in Turkey available. Prices are very reasonable as well. This means that you can purchase a property in Turkey for a lot less than you would in another country.

Tourism and the economy are also on the rise in Turkey. If the current trend continues, property values are sure to spike dramatically in the next few years. Not only will resale values be substantially more than what one invested, but rental fees will increase as well. This makes Turkey the perfect place to buy inexpensive property and get in on the beginning phases of the next property investment sensation.

Remember; whenever you buy property in Turkey or any other country, you should study all of the property laws thoroughly. Property transactions are not regulated in other countries in quite the same way as they are in the UK.
