Euro-free Istanbul resists the recession - (excerpt)

A robust economy and youthful population are driving a booming property market in this exciting city, reports Cathy Hawker

"Buy-to-let properties in many markets overseas have been hit hard by the recession. Plenty of investors got their fingers burned buying in emerging countries that , in property ownership terms, never quite emerged. But it's a different story in Turkey"

says Cathy and continues...

"....Satellite towns an easy commute from Istanbul have sprung up over the past decade and investors are eyeing up rental yields....'There is a growing body of workers moving to Istanbul's suburbs who require housing' says Louise Reynolds, of Property Venture®. 'In the centre, yields tend to average three to four per cent, but the more affordable outskirts offer investors the chance for yields of seven to 10 per cent'

West of the centre, Property Venture® has new-build apartments from £48,660 for one bedroom at Esenyurt"
