Obelisk International launches Cipura Villas, its latest project on the Turkish Riviera

Obelisk International’s latest real estate investment venture, Cipura Villas, comprised of 64 modern, Mediterranean style villas, is located on the outskirts of Bodrum, Turkey’s prestigious leisure port.

Cipura Villas, 64 fully detached residences with their own parking, is set in a restricted access area, providing owners absolute privacy. This exclusive resort has a communal pool equipped with sun loungers, tennis courts, a clubhouse and beautiful, landscaped gardens throughout. As an added bonus, each villa has the option of acquiring its own plunge pool.

The development enjoys a prime location just outside the picturesque port of Bodrum, where people can enjoy the various amenities, cafés, bar, restaurants and in the summer, the popular ferry services to the Greek Islands. It is also a mere five minutes walk from the beach and close to the trendy golf resorts.

The country, Turkey, receives over 23 million visitors annually and due to improved low-cost flights tourism is on the rise. Investors can comfortably expect higher rental yields in the near future.

Bodrum, one of Turkey’s booming areas due to its modern infrastructure and proximity to international airports, enjoys a buoyant tourist market throughout the year. Property prices in the area have risen by 25 per cent over the past 12 months and as Obelisk International’s Market Analyst, Veronica Castro, stated: “This capital appreciation is expected to continue.”

Obelisk International assesses the British interest in overseas property.

British bargain hunters are fuelling a boom in house prices across the world as more and more look to overseas property as a secure investment option.

It is estimated that at least 350,000 British choose to turn their backs on the UK every year and that already around 8% of the country’s population live overseas – higher than the French, Italian or American ex-pat figures.

Far more people however, are now buying foreign property as second homes, buy-to-let investments or as an alternative to failing pension plans. HIFX’s internal research revealed that more than 29 million Brits would like to buy a property abroad and that 11 million could realise that wish within the next five years.

So why are the British so keen to buy abroad? Obelisk International found that several reasons can be attributed to this thirst for overseas property investment: the first is that owning foreign property has become much more acceptable and less of a luxury only afforded by the upper echelons. The plethora of property shows on TV have helped to educate and dispel myths so that many now realise just how attainable owning that place in the sun really is.

Secondly, Obelisk International’s research found that, with property prices continuing to rise in the UK, the option of investing in a second property at home is simply out of most people’s reach – add to this the low cost of property in the ‘emerging’ markets of Eastern Europe, Morocco and Turkey, for example, and its easy to see why Brits are so keen to sow their investment seed abroad.

Increasingly, British holiday makers are taking care of their own vacations; booking their flights on line from low cost carriers and searching for an apartment or villa to rent whilst away – all good news for buy-to-let investors. The improved accessibility of many destinations also opens them up for the latest investment phenomena “jet-to-let”, where buyers use their property abroad themselves, as much as they let it.

“With relatively few bargains to be found in the UK, tens of thousands are looking abroad to invest in a cheap holiday home for either short term investments or as part of a long term pension plan” comments Kevin Prior, Sales Director at Obelisk International.

As returns of 100% are not uncommon in some markets, foreign property investment can offer a lucrative source of income. Invest in the short term to raise capital, in the longer term as an alternative to other investment avenues such as the stock market, or perhaps join the many thousands already out there and sell up, move abroad and bask in the sun having established a solid pension fund!

Obelisk International notes Turkey’s improving accessibility for British investors.

With one-third of Europe’s population living within one hour of an easyJet airport, the effect that they and other low-cost airlines are having on real estate markets across Europe and beyond, cannot be overstated.

The many new ‘emerging’ real estate markets have a lot to thank airlines such as easyJet and Ryanair for. As countries, and more specifically little known areas of countries, become more accessible, their locations as buy to let or ‘jet-to-let’ investment destinations become more attractive. Countries such as Bulgaria, Poland and even Morocco and Turkey are all reaping the benefits of improved low-cost air connections as their real estate markets continue to enjoy superb growth in terms of development and investment. With new routes opening up all the time, British investors, including clients of Obelisk International, are looking at destinations previously only thought of as places for summer holidays as prospective locations for property investment.

Over the last few years, Obelisk International has seen a growing number of British people buying property in Turkey. BA and, of course, Turkish Airlines have always flown to the country’s capital (now with a twice weekly service from Dublin too) and now easyJet have recently added Istanbul to its network. However, it is the tourist centres which have become more accessible in terms of regular flights. BA now fly to Dalaman and Izmir and Turkish Airlines also fly direct from the UK to Antalya.

Meeting a growing demand from British property owners, Holidays 4U, the independent Turkey specialist, launched low cost flights to Dalaman from Gatwick and Manchester last year. Due to the success of these inaugural winter flights, this year the company will add Bodrum to its programme.

New flights added this year include BMED’s six flights a week between Heathrow and Ankara and GB Airways’ Gatwick to Dalaman service. In addition, charter operators fly between many UK airports and the tourist centres of Antalya, Dalaman and Bodrum.

There is also more investment on the ground, such as the new airport at Gazipasa and the international terminal at Dalaman Airport, which has a capacity for handling an additional 5 million passengers a year. These and other projects to improve local infrastructures and services, and the surety that there will be more flights from more British airports in the future is all good news for investors in Turkish property. In fact, Turkey has become one of the hottest picks for investors and is proving extremely popular for clients of Obelisk International.
