Real Estate in Alanya

Alanya is the most develpoed area on the Turkish Riviera and the area most Europeans are asking about. In particular the German citizens top the list of those most interested in the area. Already in Alanya their are some 15,000 Europeans resident and the Germans head that list. This gives a positive outlook for the real estate industry. Seyhan Arabaci, business manager of Active Real Estates has been running the business for 9 years, Seyhan Arabaci is also Sworn Interpreter which give added security to the client when purchasing their new home.

We asked Seyhan Arabaci about developments of the real estate industry in Alanya:

Alanya Bote:

What reasons induce Germans to the real estate acquisition in Alanya?
Seyhan Arabaci:
In the last two years the German prospective customer has behaved cautiously. Now German citizens are again interested and purchasing with more confidence. Alanya is considered as region, the 12 months of the year allow people to also enjoy the winter season because of the mild temperatures around 18-20 degrees C. Building construction is improving and coming into line with European standards thereby giving a better quality of building.
Alanya Bote: How do you see the property market at present?
Seyhan Arabaci: By the law change in the last year the property market suffered a perceptible setback. That can be now caught up again. I know this already. Before 10 years there was the same development. Turkey is still very favorable for the acquisition of a Real Estate. Particularly compared with countries such as Spain or the USA. Here with us one has very visible life support costs. In Alanya one can offer approx. 50,000 euro for a residential property, or approx. 95,000 euro for a villa. Additionally we have again and again interesting good deals. Many of our customers sell up their property in Spain or the USA because of the rising costs in maintaining their property their. Also the friendliness of our compatriots is well-known and a substantial reason, to settle here.
Alanya Bote: What would you recommend to the prospective customers, those that are seeking real estate to acquire here would like?

Seyhan Arabaci: They should work with a reliable real estate company, only those that can show they have a licence to offer a real estate service. The purchase of a property with bad debts is to be advised against strongly. The promises are large, not to constitute the facts frequently at all. No real estate without land register entry! Active priority – its customer care during the purchase and the looking after once the purchase has been completed! Our service is to ensure that all is correct with the Tapu, offering transportation, cleaning, Insurance services as required by the client after they purcahse their property.

Alanya Bote: How do you see the rising tendency of the land development into and around Alanya?

Seyhan Arabaci: In Alanya despite risen demand too much has been built. I do not find that good. Germans, for example, are disturb by the large areas which are built close togehter and multi stories high. Their preference is for small nature-left green belts. We can find a suitable property for each requirement at home, promised!

Alanya Bote: How do you judge the price history?

Seyhan Arabaci: Situation and building quality decide for the price. We control the houses or dwellings, whether a Iskan (building specification) is present, whether the acquisition is permissible by Europeans, and they further criteria correspond. We are naturally permanently in contact with the customers. If they cannot meet an immediate purchase decision, we are always avaliable at www.al-active.com where we are a friendly contact to help the client.

Alanya Bote: Seyhan Arabaci thank you and we wish you much success in your business.
