We all know that Turkey is once again flavour of the month with package holidays on the up and new flight routes plus extra seats from the major airlines have increased dramatically. We have also seen house sales rise too as buyers are becoming more comfortable dipping their toes into the property market. Both apartments and villas are selling very well and you maybe thinking of buying a villa for yourself as a holiday home or looking long term to retire to one day in the future.
Are you looking for a property for yourself or an investment? If you have savings and you want to make an investment you would be wise to consider investing in a villa in Turkey. Why? The trend for renting a private villa for holidays is going through the roof.
Renting a private villa is attractive for many different reasons and we are seeing rentals increase for a multitude of holidays. Family holidays, girlie breaks and golfing holidays are on the increase. Only recently a friend of mine whose daughter is getting married hired a private villa for a 5 day break before the big day. Aunts, cousins, mum, sisters, the bride and her friends had 5 days of bliss relaxing by the pool and enjoying time out and for this they paid £1,200 for 5 days hire of the villa. If the mother of the bride hadn’t paid it herself for a treat for everyone, there were 12 of them that it equates to just £100 each!
That’s not a bad return at all and if you consider the main season in Turkey runs from the beginning of May to the end of October potentially there is 26 weeks you can hire your villa out and earn some lucrative returns year on year. Yes, you will need to take into account cleaning, laundry and paying a company to do this, plus the odd breakage here and there however you will still earn a good whack from renting your villa out. Look after your investment; you can add a deposit on your booking to cover any damages or breakages.
