Hi there Jacdav - you might be interested in this article from Monday''s "Turkish Daily News" about the state of the property market in the Antalya area -
http://www.turkishdailynews.com.tr/article.php?enewsid=97213Kalkan has an awful lot of properties for sale that have been on the market a very long time - more than two years, even three in some cases, so it''s very much a buyer''s market.
As in the UK or, you are free to bargain as hard as you like - there''s no law saying you can''t suggest a sum much less than that asked. Going by the "Turkish Daily News" article, I''d be trying offers of 35 - 40% less than the asking price. What have you to lose?
As Felicity says, if you avoid the Estate agents and negotiate direct with the seller, you can save a lot of money.
Take a walk round the town and look for "for sale from the owner" signs, there are plenty of them.
