Only 10 minutes from the beautiful mediterranean beach and in the villages of the Toros mountains you will find another world, unretireised, warm, friendly and tranquil with properties of great charm and character usually located on a large plots of land.

Then read on!!

These projects provide a challenge and are not for the faint hearted.

But if this frightens you - it doesn't us!

     With renovation there is no limit to what you can do or how much you can spend. It depends entirely on your needs, your budget, the condition of the property and the size of the plot. With your input we will work closely with our architects and builders to renovate and modernize the building in the best way to maintain the traditional appearance of the house including the removal of any original features (such as doors which will be restored) but to ultimately bring all modern facilities to the site. Until recently these properties were not available for purchase by foreigners but the changes in the rules have meant that these can now be bought and renovated. We now have a selection of traditional 18th century properties for sale, ranging from small houses set in villages, rambling derelict barns set on the plots with the most amazing views to farmhouses that come complete with a cow!

     Turkey has its own set of building regulations, legal loopholes covering the conservation, planning permission restrictions, change of use, rights of way, zoning and building restrictions on older properties but with the help of our skilled team of architects and builders we can design and produce plans for the renovated property without making any illegal changes but which will enhance the building, the area and be acceptable to everyone.

     Most of these buildings are located in rural areas and aren’t connected to drains, water and electrical supply. (You will have full input into the building details and project). We will of course include the cost of connecting these utilities to the nearest power source and then also install telephone lines and prepare the house for satellite TV. We will even build or resurface a road to give access if there wasn’t one previously. The cost of renovation and modernization will probably be higher than you think, but you must take into account not only the initial price for the house and land – which will be very low but final price will include not only the restoration costs but also fees and taxes payable to local and county municipalities, architects permission and licences, plans and the best in fixtures and fittings. Payments are normally made in stages. We can also put swimming pools into the gardens, build garages, and landscape the gardens and offer a full package to help with the furnishing and maintenance of the property after construction.

     The benefits of renovating an older property - with our help - far outweigh the inconveniences. Our architects and builders are professional, skilled and love restoration work which can transform a vintage property into a wonderful home of style and character.

     This option also has the added advantage of providing financial security for your future. Properties that we have renovated already have increased in value by as much as 20% over the last 8 months.
