Compared to other Mediterranean countries, Turkey's Mediterranean and Aegean shores are still mostly undeveloped, therefore there are still many alternatives for land plots in beautiful settings, where one can exercise extreme creativity in architecture and design. Specialised design and construction are quite appealing due to the comparatively reduced cost of land and building. Vartur Real Estate’s diverse portfolio caters to every desire and our local knowledge, legal expertise, and personalized service take the guesswork out of navigating the Turkish property market.
Nevertheless, given that land prices in some parts of Turkey are rising quickly, these opportunities in popular regions like Fethiye, Kalkan, and Bodrum might not last long. When comparing the cost of building per square meter, Turkey offers a noticeable cost advantage over other countries like Spain, Italy, and France, with figures that are less than half.The case for custom design and build is strongly supported by the premiums paid for resale unique residences. Turkey does have some extremely elegant and upscale residences, but they still can't keep up with the growing demand for this specialised market.
Since the Turkish coastline has only just experienced a design revival for the more imaginative and "out of the box," the new style is currently emerging. Put another way, because there is a shortage of inventory at the "exclusive homes" end of the real estate market, the best resale offers have astronomically high price tags. This offers a compelling case for creating your own small work of art as a wise investment and way of life.Building your own in Turkey is rather simple if you have the correct contacts.
Let's take a quick look at the legal aspects of how to apply for the licenses and paperwork required to build houses in Turkey before moving on to how Vartur handles custom design and build projects for our clients. Vartur Real Estate helps you ascertain whether zoning exists in the area where the land is situated and identify the specific zoning of your land and any restrictions it imposes on construction and familiarize yourself with the relevant zoning codes, which typically outline permitted uses, building height limitations, setbacks from property lines, and architectural styles. After determining all these criteria, you can apply for a construction permit and obtain a construction permit by submitting your project plan (architectural drawings) to the relevant municipality. Zoning is the designation given to a region by the town planning authority in the local municipality. If there is no zoning in the region, you cannot get a permit to construct on that particular piece of property. Without a building permit, you are essentially constructing an unauthorized property that won't be issued a habitation permit. You should be careful to purchase only zoned land. You should obtain final inspections from the building department and utility companies to ensure all systems comply with codes and regulations. Once all inspections are passed, obtain a Certificate of Occupancy from the local building department, which allows you to legally move into your new home.
