The true costs of buying, owning and using property in Turkey

The BBC and the Guardian aren't the only publications talking about buying property in Turkey - the Telegraph from 13th January 2007 also has an interesting article about buying property in Turkey - Turkey's "New" Era Enticing Foreign Buyers. At the end of the article is a piece on the costs of buying and owning property in Turkey, with the information provided by one of the largest international property companies operating in this part of Turkey.

The information is great - if you are buying from that company. However it doesn't represent the experience of the vast majority of buyers, past or future, unless the company in question achieves a total monopoly of the Turkish property market!

So what are the true costs of buying property in Turkey and where can you find the definitive answer? Does the information provided by the Telegraph represent the best deal, the worst, or somewhere in the middle? Find out next week at Buying Property in Turkey...
