With soaring house prices and washed out summers, it's no wonder more of us Brits are buying property abroad. Check out some of our favourite overseas hotspots...

Buying property in Turkey
Turkey has a truly stunning coastline, great weather, fabulous food and the high standard of service that British buyers have come to expect from a second home destination. A wide choice of property, both new-build and resale, is available - and at a very affordable price compared to other, more established, European destinations.

The country also has a feel of the exotic, and the reception from the Turks is never anything less than welcoming. Infrastructure is also great, with good quality roads and a wide choice of airports. In addition, the range of facilities and amenities, from water sports to Ikea, is nothing less than phenomenal.

The cost of living in Turkey is very reasonable - perhaps 30 to 50 per cent cheaper than the UK. All in all, Turkey has a great deal to offer the British buyer - be it for investment, retirement or just a holiday home.
