and the
strong British currency has encouraged a large number of British citizens
to buy property in Turkey. There has been an increasing demand for buying
real estate in Turkey over the last two years. As of January 2005, the
number of foreign nationals owning property in Turkey reached 51,000, 18.2%
of which are Britons. In other words, since the time the Turkish Government
equalised property-buying rules for foreign nationals in July 2003, the
number of Britons and foreign nationals who own property in Turkey has
increased by 214%. The figure is expected to rise by more than 6000 each
year and to double in the very near future. Foreign nationals are estimated
to have spent more than $1 billion in buying property in Turkey in 2004.
