How to choose the perfect apartment by the sea
The choice of real estate is always a big hassle. I want the new house to be perfect, to meet all the requirements and demands, but it would not be too expensive. And if we are talking about real estate abroad, in particular, if there is a goal to buy an apartment in Turkey, then it is worth paying attention to many nuances.
Therefore, we decided to tell you what is most important when buying property in Turkey, and what should alert you in the first place.

When choosing an apartment or house, we, of course, first of all look at prices, plan how much we can invest in the purchase of real estate. And it is no secret that attention is attracted by lucrative offers, discounts and promotions.
But it is here that one must be careful. Be sure to conduct a comparative analysis of prices for apartments in your chosen region. You can always derive a certain arithmetic average. If the price of the proposed apartments is very different from the average cost (for example, apartments 1 + 1 in the area chosen by you cost 30-40 thousand euros, and you are offered 15), you should be alerted. Perhaps there is some kind of problem in this apartment, because of which the object “hangs on the sale” for years, but does not find its owners.
Of course, there are cases when the owner needs to sell real estate as quickly as possible. For example, an urgent need to return home, or needed money for treatment and so on. But even in this case, the seller will not be too undervalued. After all, good deals, so, leave in flight.
Choose the "right" realtor
There are a lot of companies offering real estate in Turkey, but there are a lot of so-called one-day firms. Choose a company with a good reputation, not the first year working in the real estate market.
It is important that the personnel of the company speak your language. After all, with a realtor, you will have to discuss many of the subtleties associated with the purchase and sale transaction.
Please note that in a serious company you will never be "stuck" an apartment. Since the goal is not only to sell, but also to maintain a reputation. Serious companies work "for the future." A grateful client will definitely recommend such a company to his friends.
Choose not only an apartment, but also neighbors
This rule is more valid for the so-called Turkish houses. In modern complexes, this problem is not worth it. But the old quarters may not be entirely suitable for you.
Choosing an apartment, ask the realtor to walk around with you around and see what contingent lives nearby. If they are foreigners or modern Turks, then no problem. But if there are only Turkish women in trousers in the house, then in the future there may be misunderstandings.
Actually, it's okay, it's just a difference of mentalities.
Be sure to pay attention to whether there are any shops, bus stops and other blessings of civilization near your chosen object. Agree, to live "on the outskirts", even in the most luxurious apartments, not always comfortable, especially if you do not have a car.
Consider the climate
Alanya and Antalya are seaside cities, and when buying a property you should not forget about this feature.
Apartment overlooking the sea - it's great! Every day, admiring the endless blue is good for health, because the beautiful landscapes soothe the nerves. But at the same time, in the winter in such an apartment can be cool. Although this issue is easily solved by installing good glass.
Even if everything is perfect in the apartment, go down to the basement. Usually there is the entire infrastructure. If you see mold that has grown on the walls or falling off paint, then most likely they don’t take care of the house, and the complex itself was not built according to standards.
Pay attention to the size of the apartment
Some buyers mistakenly believe that it doesn’t matter how many rooms and square meters there are in the apartment. For a holiday at the sea enough and studio apartments.
In fact, it is not. It is on vacation that you want comfort, which is why it is so important that the apartments correspond to the size of your family, so that five people are not huddled in one room, but can comfortably sleep in comfort.
By the way, studio apartments in the real estate market in Turkey today are estimated as illiquid. They are difficult to both sell and rent. And a competent realtor will always warn you about this.
New or old?
Choose more modern complexes, as they were built in accordance with the latest building standards. While at the age of 20-30 years old houses were built using old technologies.
This applies to both the materials themselves, and heat and hydra insulation, which is also important in the operation of real estate.
And most importantly, choose an apartment that you will like. In the house by the sea you should be comfortable. After all, even the most expensive, luxurious, high-quality apartments will not be your second home if you do not have a soul for them.
