Turkish Delights

Turkey has long been a popular destination for Brits – its hot-to-trot climate, sapphire blue waters and vibrant culture, make it a ‘go-to’ holiday home favourite. Luke Thomas caught up with expat and Founding Partner of Luxury Property Turkey, Darren Edwards, to find out how the agency can assist with finding that perfect place in the sun

Turkey’s transcontinental location between Asia and Europe means that it has some of the most stunning coastlines on the planet. Award-winning real estate agency, Luxury Property Turkey know this only too well, which is why they only market properties in the country’s most desirable locations.

The agency specialises in a niche market, namely premium properties for sale which are in high demand and can also provide an excellent return on investment. Focusing on vibrant Istanbul, the cosmopolitan Aegean coast of the Bodrum Peninsula and the sophisticated Mediterranean resort of Kalkan, the agency’s carefully selected portfolio includes premium penthouses, luxury mansions and stunning beach-front villas.

“We’ve amassed 15 years of experience in the Turkish real estate market, and we’re fully licensed and accredited,” says Darren. “So it’s safe to say our clients are in the best of hands - we offer a truly professional real estate consultancy service.”

He continues: “We realise every client is different, and our aim is to listen to them and find out precisely what they’re looking for. We can then provide full background information on a range of properties and work with them to ensure that list meets their requirements.

“We’re not just property experts, we’re locals too, with an in-depth knowledge of individual areas. We’re committed to exceeding customer expectations, ensuring a friendly, efficient approach which works for our clients.”
