Could international money transfers to Turkey increase in popularity?

Turkey's property market is in "direct competition" with Spain this year, it has been claimed.

The country's "young population, the opening to the east and its competent government" are combining to make it more attractive to overseas property investors, according to the Global Property Guide.

James Dearsley, European sales manager at international estate agent Atlas, commented: "Turkey, what with its culture [and the fact that] it is very easy to get to still � the major flight companies are opening routes there rather than taking them away � is an obvious attraction for Brits."

International money transfers to Turkey could rise if Britons follow Mr Dearsley's advice.

However, the property expert added that there was competition with Spain now, unlike last year where Turkey was "an absolute 100 per cent winner".

The comments come as a report from Primelocation.com revealed that searches for foreign houses increased by 111 per cent in the year to April 2010.
