Hello Finlander, May I ask why you chose Uzumlu as an area to buy.
We came here to live permanently back in 2014. We decided to purchase an apartment in Ovacik. We went against the advice of the 'Frosty' ones and didn't rent first to see if we liked the area,or if it was suitable for all year round living. We ended up going back to UK within a year,the property was on the market for a year before it sold for less than we paid plus the furnishings. We came back to the same area, but in a rental villa,last October. We still don't think this is quite right for us,but now we only have to pack up and move to another one. If you have kids that need entertaining I don't think Uzumlu is really the place for you. However,just as another option for you and your family, why don't you take out a year's rental contract, you can see how you feel about the area and visit some other areas to see if they might suit you all better. You can also take advantage of the cheaper winter flights and visit for weekends etc .you will find its a whole other world in winter and a bloody cold one at that ! You also get to avoid forking out more money and registering with police etc for rentals. I do hope you haven't been put off by these sarky load of Victor meldrews..believe it or not they are the nicest bunch of people you could wish to meet and are just trying to protect your money and making sure you don't get ripped off, as well as making sure you are making the right decisions and want you to be happy in the choices you make. Good luck with your search..let us know how you get on.
