The apartments range in size from 55 m2 – 231 m2 and have either 1, 2 or 3 bathrooms (the penthouse apartments will feature a separate kitchen). Situated on 1 of the 2 most commercially important thoroughfares of Alanya centre, Elite Marine guarantees a unique ownership / investment opportunity.

The apartments have been finished to the very highest of standards with numerous features as price inclusives – these include air-conditioning throughout, ceramic tiled flooring, underfloor heating in bathrooms, fitted kitchen with granite worktop and full range of in-built ‘Franke’ appliances, UPVC double glazing, video entryphone, concealed LED lighting in living room and bedrooms.

We believe that Elite Marine Residence will be the most prestigious and desirable address in Alanya centre.

Moving to Cyprus

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE MOVING TO CYPRUS   Cyprus offers a delightful Mediterranean experience. It is a miniature island country located to the south of the turkey and south-east of Greece. It is culturally diverse as befitting the Roman Empire, a British colony following the Turkish encroachment. It is the third most populous island in the Mediterranean. The countryside is blessed with the natural and synthetic beauty of bountiful historical heritage. It has a subtropical Climate. Despite the fact that Cyprus is a strongly traditional country, it is very open-armed to the foreigners. Expats who are settled on the island claim to be extremely happy and satisfied with their new residence. The best perk for the foreigners is that English is spoken by many of the locals so there is no such language barrier. This article aims to guide you about the things you need to know before moving to Cyprus. This will give you an outright idea about how to deal with the things in the new world you just bumped into.   The lifestyle and the beauty of Cyprus: Cyprus is all beauty and fun! Cyprus has a modern and effective environment with a pleasant atmosphere and breathtakingly beautiful surroundings. Cyprus is home to beaches that stretch for miles .The country's beauty is complemented by its traditional villages and architecture. Cyprus guarantees boundless fun and pleasure. It comprises plenty of bars and nightclubs that promise an unforgettable time. Cyprus has the Troodos Mountains that are unique in their geology and one of the only few places in the world where scientists can examine oceanic crust without needing to go to the sea. Feel safe folks because you're living in Cyprus! It is one of the safest European countries to live in because of its low crime rate. Allot of foreigners claim that its safety and security levels are much higher than that of the UK. The Cyprus Cuisine: Cyprus cuisine is Mediterranean and considered as the healthiest diet in the world. The fresh fruit, herbs, pulses, greens, fresh fish and lean meat offer delicious flavors as well as a healthy way to eat. Traditional recipes have been passed down from generation to generation with home cooking being a tenacious tradition even in today's contemporary world. Buying Property in Cyprus: If you're planning to buy anywhere in Cyprus, hold tight. Buying property is a complete minefield and more people get ripped off than are happy. My advice would be not to buy anywhere that isn't finished, and keep right away from anything that doesn't have title deeds. There are massive property scams going on here and you need to be wide awake. The only things you can trust in Cyprus are those written down and signed. You must confirm every conversation also by email and keep those emails saved. Also, forward every email to your lawyer. Here are some significant measures that you can take to avoid the risk of fraud: Don't ever accept a dealer's recommendation of a lawyer to use .Get a good lawyer from a different town to the one you're buying in. The dealers can manipulate you by showing the plot other than the one you're actually buying. Therefore, make sure the plot you're being shown is, in fact, the plot you're being sold. It's common practice in Cyprus for developers to retain the Title Deeds when they sell you your dream villa or apartment. You may be living in a property you've bought and paid for, but without the Title Deeds, technically the developer still owns it. So, if you're not getting the Title Deeds, walk away and don't hand over any money until you get them. Only buy something that's finished and you could move into tomorrow.   I would suggest you not to rush and take your time. Rent a place and observe the surroundings. Decide what you like about the property. Think what you'd want in your own property. Check out different locations. When you know exactly what it is you want, you'll find it.   The best place to live in Cyprus? Definitely Paphos! Moving to Paphos: Moving to Paphos offers a magical experience of the life in the classical age. Paphos is a coastal city in the southwest of Cyprus and the capital of Paphos District. Those moving to Paphos will enjoy winters much more than they used to because Paphos low temperatures in January and February rarely drop below an average of 7 °C. In summers there are plenty of beach days too. The great thing about Paphos District is that you've got the sea and great beaches with hills, forests and mountains. The cost of groceries, dining out is considerably lower in Paphos. Rent rates are lower. Property is also much more affordable. The city has a low crime rate, well-established hospitals and less pollution. Paphos is a very prevalent choice for Britishers to live in when they move to Cyprus because the proportion of expats living in Paphos is as high as 10,000 Britishers. Another reason is that there is very little chance of experiencing cultural shock because of the following reasons: Most of the roads signs are written in English. There are plenty of British shops, bars and even schools. Many regionals of Paphos speak English. Education in Paphos: State schools accept all the citizens but they deliver teaching in Greek so it would be more suitable to choose a private school if you move to Paphos and your children don't know the German language. Here are some popular private schools of Paphos: The International School of Paphos The Private Institute of St George The very small Drake House There are no tertiary education institutions in Paphos.

Moving to Turkey

THINGS WE NEED TO KNOW BEFORE MOVING FROM THE UK TO LIVE IN TURKEY

There are so many reasons to live in Turkey as it is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. It is over swamped with undoubtedly breathtaking views. It is a unique country that extends on two continents Europe and Asia. It has a culture that reflects both East and West. It is a friendly country that offers all modern facilities, yet traditional enough to be fascinating. It has the finest weather. Another reason is that the cost of everything from property to humdrum living is much less in Turkey than it is in the UK. This article aims to guide you about the things you need to know before moving from the UK to turkey. This will give you an outright idea about how to deal with the things in the new world you just bumped into. Retiring from your Country Firstly, you need to tell the relevant government offices that deal with your benefits, pension and tax that you’re moving abroad. This is how you will know the ins and outs of your migration. Being a citizen of the UK, you have the right to live and work in any country that lies within the European Economic Area (EEA). Your UK citizenship will not be affected if you move abroad and you can vote in UK elections too. It is best that you contact the Turkish embassy to generally get more information. This will be useful if you plan on doing a certain business in the UK. Affording your new life in Turkey Buying Property in Turkey The procedures for buying property in Turkey differs from that in the United Kingdom. Foreigners require residency permit from the military in order to purchase a property. This can cause a delay in the whole process. I would strongly recommend you to obtain the services of an independent lawyer before purchasing property to avoid the risk of fraud. Also, there are some laws made for foreigners regarding the purchase of property in Turkey: Foreigners can buy a maximum of 30 hectares of property in Turkey in total. Foreigners cannot acquire or rent property within military or security zones. The properties are subject to winding up provisions in following cases: Violation of certain laws. Violation of purpose of purchase. Turkey is a low wage Economy! If you’re going to live anywhere else other than the country’s largest cities then you’ve to set your sights on a professional job. If you’re planning to do something other than a professional job then you need to know this fact that Turkey is a low wage economy. You’ve to jump through quite a few hoops to prove yourself and your abilities no matter how good was your reputation in the UK. The Language Barrier If you are moving to Turkey, you must know the most typical problem that the foreigners face in Turkey. It is the language barrier. The foreigners living in Turkey have to learn native Turkish language. The inability to communicate in Turkish means that Britishers cannot interact with Turkish people properly. As a result, you will lose the right to get a citizenship certificate. You will not be entitled to buying any property either. So if you’re planning to get settled in Turkey, then you have to learn Turkish dialect first. Read the full article

The process of buying a property in Turkey

We explain the process of buying a property in Turkey

We explain the process of buying property in Turkey The procedures implemented in the purchasing process are as follows: 1. Sales contract This contract is signed between the purchaser and the seller and also the agent who is mediating the sale. The contract will be arranged in two languages: - The native language of the purchaser and Turkish (in compliance with consumer protection law and the Turkish civil code). The contract will contain the following information: Purchaser, Seller and Agent information Information regarding the property that is the subject of the contract (construction features, delivery period etc.) Payment / Stage Payment clauses relating to purchase amount The responsibilities of the purchaser and the seller Judicial and legal procedures Required Documents 3 passport sized photographs 2 photocopies of either passport or identity card The names of the mother and father of both the purchaser and the seller 2. Acquisition of Tax Number A tax number, easily acquired from the local Tax Office Directorate, will be required (along with a copy of passport) for title deed registration application, the setting up of a bank account and utility subscriptions application. 3. Setting up a bank account An account in any local bank is set up in the name of the purchaser; this enables monies to be transferred to facilitate payment for the property. It will also allow for additional payments (maintenance fees, utility and public service bills) to be made. 4. Granting Power of Attorney It is normal practice (though not obligatory) for the purchaser to grant power of attorney to his or her mediating agent or an alternative trustee. This allows that trustee to carry out all transactions relating to the purchase of the property as well as applying for utility, public services and telephone subscriptions in the name and on behalf of the purchaser. 5. Title Deed Application A 'permission to purchase' request is made to the local Title Deed Directorate and also the relevant military authorities (compulsory procedure in Turkish property law) within the provincial borders of the location of the property. The application made to the military authorities is a formality to ensure that the property is outside of a restricted or military zone - this can take between 3-5 months before approval is received. 6. Title Deed Transfer After the permissions for the title deed transfer are granted from the official bodies, the seller completes the title deed transfer to the purchaser at the Title Deed Directorate through the medium of a certified interpreter. This transaction can also be carried out by the appointed trustees on behalf of the purchaser. Search for a property in Turkey here Read the full article
