Dear Members:

Dear Members:
 Let me begin by introducing myself, my name is Soyer Osman born in London family originated from North Cyprus
My intention is to take early retirement this time next year with a view of buying a property and living in Turkey, Kalkan being the frontrunner as location
 I’ll be coming over March/April in the New Year and again in late summer Villa hunting (shortlisting)
I’m sure my queries have been posed before, so guidance or cut and paste the link would be most appreciated
Is it worth bringing over my electrical goods TV, Computer, Monitors, Dish Washer white goods etc.? Leaving the big furniture items
If its cost effective, any recommendations of a reputable UK based Removal Company
I’ve only got my self to consider so a rough guide of monthly outgoings without a mortgage would give me a baseline
Rather than list a multitude of fears and concerns I have I would rather hear what other expats experiences are of the top 5 do’s and don’ts 
Sorry if you’ve heard this all before
Thank you all in advance Soyer

We relocated here and brought all our furniture and electrical goods over-big mistake, we paid a massive duty on the electrical goods and had to go to Izmir to the docks and our container was opened and items checked on the list, plus the £4,000 it cost to ship the items.  Unless you furniture is a priceless antique or something with great sentimental value that you cannot live without I suggest you buy in Turkey, just make sure you steer clear of Bravocassa.  You can order from Ikea if you like their products and they will be delivered and put together for a small fee.  There are also lots of furniture places on line and in Fethiye that you may wish to try.  Be aware if you enlist the services of a Turkish national MOST of them take a fee (this is usually added to the price of the goods before the retailer gives you a price and can be as much as 30%).  If you already speak Turkish then you will probably be able to negotiate a good price yourself.  Prepare to barter, you never know you may get a bargain.  Good luck-also barter on the price of the villa too, it's a buyer's market.
