Pros and cons of the sieves

Cite, like any type of real estate, has both its advantages and disadvantages. Often, the advantages and features are determined by the investor’s personal preferences and the ultimate purpose of the purchase.

The main advantages of Turkish sieve — this:

  • High security of residence

Most modern residential residences in Turkey are located in a closed guarded area. Living in such houses is really safe, especially with children. Parents can safely let their children play in the yard or in the playroom, due to the fact that you can only enter the territory of the residential complex with a special pass. That is, the entrance is closed to outsiders.

  • Developed internal infrastructure

The residence, built by experienced developers, has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The set and variety of internal infrastructure facilities is determined by the status of the residential complex. Some residential complexes provide minimal infrastructure in the form of a swimming pool, children's playground and gym. Elite-level residences boast a huge range of facilities and services — from tennis courts, beauty salons to cinemas and shops. Equipped areas for picnics and barbecues, sun loungers and parasols, gazebos — all this, as a rule, is also available to owners. That is, such sieves contain everything necessary for life without leaving the territory of the complex.

  • Suitable for rental

If your goal — purchasing apartments on the seashore for rent and receiving passive income, then site — one of the best options. Apartments in comfortable neighborhoods are in greater demand than housing in detached houses.

In addition to their advantages, sieves also have features. In particular, the only significant disadvantage of this type of Turkish real estate — These are higher payments for maintaining public areas and infrastructure. In the Republic of Turkey, owners of apartments in the city pay monthly not only utility bills, telephone... and Internet communications, but also aidat. The size of the IDAT depends on the level and extent of the infrastructure.

What to look for when choosing an apartment in a city

When choosing an apartment in a sieve, consider the following characteristics:

  • Infrastructure quality. Objects located in the local area of the residential complex must be of high quality and diverse.
  • Competent management. Homeowners in Turkey typically hire a management company, whose main responsibility is — maintaining infrastructure. It is important to understand that without good management and maintenance personnel, any infrastructure will quickly fall into disrepair.
  • Cost. Living in a sieve will cost more than living in a detached house. As was already mentioned above, the owners will have to pay the aidat monthly. Specify the amount by date at the stage of choosing an apartment. This way you will calculate in advance the budget for maintaining real estate in Turkey and select the appropriate option.

Pricing of apartments in a sieve depends on the location, status of the area and residential complex, area, layout, stage of completion and type characteristics. Compared to European countries, the cost of Turkish housing within a city is low, and the advantages of living are more than obvious. That is why such properties are very popular among foreign buyers.
