Features of apartment layout in Turkey: 3+2, 2+1, 1+1
Those who are interested in real estate in Turkey have probably noticed that the number of rooms in local apartments is indicated completely differently than we are used to. For example, you can find numerical designations such as 3+2, 2+1, etc. The first digit in this designation indicates the number of bedrooms. The second one is the living room. By adding both numbers, you get the total number of rooms. That is, Turkish 1+1 is the same as a Russian two-room apartment. The purpose of the room depends on its size. That is, the living rooms will be spacious, and the bedrooms will be correspondingly small.
Layout features
There is no standard layout in local apartments, but general patterns can be identified. In new buildings located in resort areas, living rooms are often combined with a kitchen. This allows you to make the living room larger. Sometimes such a room is zoned using furniture or decorative elements.
Another feature of a local apartment is a small bedroom. Often their area may seem too small. But at the same time, each of them will have a separate bathroom. Therefore, apartments here usually have 2-3 bathrooms. One of them is located in the corridor and is considered a guest room.
A pleasant feature of the layout is the huge balconies, which in their area can compete with the living room. Therefore, here they are often used as a terrace or a separate room, placing sun loungers, a dining table or a sofa. They are insulated on the outside, so it will be comfortable to stay here even in winter.
Possibility of redevelopment
If we compare the requirements for remodeling an apartment with other countries, then in Turkey they are less strict about this. Therefore, the property owner has the right to do almost whatever he wants in his apartment. The only thing you should adhere to is not to change the appearance of the facade of the house and not to demolish columns or supporting structures. If there is a need for this, then such actions must be coordinated with local authorities and the management company. Otherwise, the owner faces a considerable fine. Therefore, before building an additional wall or removing an existing one, you need to obtain the necessary permits.
Buying an apartment in installments
The cost of apartments in Turkey, especially in resort regions, is quite high. Therefore, those who want to purchase real estate in this country can do so at the stage of building a house. If necessary, developers offer installment plans at a small percentage. In order not to worry about the security of the transaction, it is better to contact trusted developers or real estate agencies.
