Before you go to Turkey.

* Research on the world wide web about buying property in Turkey. There are many different websites available for you to browse through. Make notes of the average prices of property and any helpful hints and tips that the website gives you. At the same time as browsing the net, keep a notepad and list any questions that you can ask agents that you will meet up with.

* Only email an agent if their website looks good. I always say that a website says everything about the agent and if it is messy or not up to date, this probably reflects their daily working practices.

*  When emailing the agent ask them for their company profile, their copy of the process for buying property in Turkey and some previous customer’s email addresses or telephone numbers. If they can not provide any of these three then stay away.

* If you are impressed with the agent so far then send an email asking for a telephone call at a certain time. This will help you to establish if the agent speaks good English and has good customer service skills. You will be amazed at how many do not!

* Only book a viewing trip with a particular agent if you have no intention of meeting with other agents. To meet with other agents whilst on a viewing trip with one agent is considered rude and can see you accused of trying to scam a free holiday. If you want to meet with more than one agent then book your own flights, accommodation and transfers, then make an appointment to meet up in resort.

Whilst in Turkey

* Take a camera and a notebook to make notes about the property you go and look at. Write down what you like about the property and what you don’t like. Distances to shops, bus routes, supermarkets etc. After looking at more than three properties this list will come in handy for a review when you want to make a decision.

* You will know when looking at a property if it is right for you. Don’t look at twenty more if you keep thinking about the second one you visited. Also looking at too many properties will result in information overload and possible making the wrong decision.

* The list of questions that you made on buying property in Turkey, whilst re-searching the Internet should be bought out. Put the agent on the spot and watch their reaction and answers.
