These are the comments we have received when asking for feedback.

 We asked "can you let me know how helpful or not Turkeyvilla has been, in either helping you to decide to invest, advise given on or off the site, leading you to agents/areas/developments etc. Or any other info relevant to testimonials."

IDs have been withheld where requested.




As for TV – and you know I don’t mince words – I think it unlikely that I would have bought in Turkey without TV. We sat in the Emlak’s as the process progressed and Hayley’s face became ashen! I agreed/haggled/refused various proposals, handed over wods of cash to shifty looking Turks in various back street offices and swallowed gallons of tea and shook hands solely based on the confidence and knowledge that I gained from TV. Without TV I may have tried to find a UK company and paid the premium, but I am 100% sure that I would not have purchased directly in Turkey. In other words, no TV - no house for us in Akyaka!

Finding turkeyvilla most certainly helped us decide on buying in turkey,and gave us invaluable advice as to which areas to buy as we had never been to turkey before,we would not have found the confidence to buy in a foreign land, if not for the help both on the forum, and through personal help from terry and john, they held our hands through what could have been a scarey situation.

We bought our apartment before we found the Turkeyvilla website. It's an excellent source of information for people with holiday homes in Turkey.
Keep up the good work.

There is hardly a day that goes b when I don't log on to Turkeyvilla.com and have found all the info invaluable.
Thank you
Christine and Andy

The site has been very informative, and I think that many people when they have had problems, have found the help and advice given invaluable.
So a big thank you, for having the forum, because a lot of us have made very good friends through the forum.

We have bought in Davultar, we love being among all our Turkish neighbours, we have been made so welcome, We had been looking for over 2 years, but we hummed and arred, I was constantly on the internet, and I came across Turkeyvilla by accident, but my god am I glad I found it,
I had a million and one questions I wanted to ask and most of them I found the answer to on the forum, I found it to be a really friendly almost family feel to it, if you need any information you only have to post the question and it is answered.
I was really scared buying at first, still am sometimes, but you know you are not on your own, there is someone out there ready to help if they can.
It gives great advice on where to buy, who with, what available, where to shop etc........
It gave me the confidence to go ahead with our purchase, as you felt if everyone else seemed to be okay, why not go for it, and our we glad we did.
We had never been to Turkey before, and within 2 days we knew it was the place for us, we viewed on the Thursday and had bought it on the saturday, in fact it was so easy, I kept saying there must be a catch somewhere.
When I got home I drove my husband mad, with all the question, he is made up I have this forum as it stoppes me asking him all the time.
I like the way people make friends and meet up when out in Turkey, although my daughter is horrified that I arrange to meet someone off Turkey villa in Kusadasi,  kids what do they know.
I log on to the forum several times a day, if my boss in work ever looks at my computer, he will think I work for Turkeyvilla.com as that is all he will see in the spinbox.

We didn't find Turkey Villa until after we had bought the property but it has been a mine of information. Unfortunately there are not too many members from Dalyan, it does sometimes feel like a Kusadasi club. I have been travelling to Turkey since around 1972 and obviously love it. Long exposure has perhaps worn off some of the gilt & it does seem that anything other than uncritical adoration of Turkey is met by hostility by some members which is depressing. I don’t think there is anything you can do about that,There seems to be a lot of Psuedo adaptation around. You have a very difficult job in setting the tone & culture of the forum and I think you and the other moderators succeed admirably.

TV has been a great help, we view the forum every day or two and have done since we began the buying process. It's a great website, the only comment I would have might be the amount of moderator banter which can sometimes clog up a string of useful information, so that it takes much longer to work down to the nitty gritty!
Good luck and keep it up.

Use Turkey villa for price comparasions of goods/services and
legal issues relating to revised law, import of car and visa information.

WE HAVE FOUND THE FORUM TO BE VERY USEFUL OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS AND WE HAVE ALSO MET QUITE A FEW PEOPLE THROUGH THE FORUM, BOTH IN THE UK AND TURKEY SUE

Have found the site to be really informative and useful since purchasing in Turkey and will continue to browse for anything that may be relevant or informative to the local areas etc.
Angie

The advice and contacts made through TV have been extremely helpful. From the site, we have found general costings on a whole range of items which has helped in our negotiations when purchasing goods and ensuring we got a fair deal. Guzelcamli Car Hire has been an absolute god send - we would never have found them other than on this site and we have used both Christine Altinay and Sunshine Turkish Homes prior to them being registered as TV approved which gives us a lot of faith in the referral process used.
Brilliant!

Tania & Eddy Morris

I like the Forum very much ,it gives good advice , we are moving to Marmaris in late Sept, and would love to meet up with British people who already live in the area.
Kind regards, Dee/Tony

We would have no hesitation recommending anyone wishing to buy in Turkey, that they spend time on Turkey Villa learning from the experiences of the many forum members. Turkey Villa has been invaluable to us in our purchase, providing us with both information and encouragement, plus the opportunity to meet a lot of very nice people.
We are well pleased !!
Sue and Rob

This forum has been my 'bible' for over a year now. It has been invaulable to me, expecially as when I was going through the house hunting and buying process stage. Even now, I still love it, it is very useful, as whenever I have a question, there is always a forum member ready to offer advice.
Jane

I have found some very valuable information on the site with regards to moving to Turkey and buying property. There is lots of experience of moving to Turkey, problems encountered from builders and the likes, and general information that will come in very useful when we move over. The site members have provided detailed information on the good and bad, from things like removal companies, cheap flight deals, areas to live, and peoples experiences of the estate agents (emlaks).
I have found the site welcoming and friendly, a nice community spirit, and general helpfulness from other members. Michelle, Scotland

We found the villa on the internet shortly prior to joining TV and realised after joining that they were at the time TV approved.
The forum was a godsend prior to moving and provided advice, opinions and views on moving to Turkey.TV also offered peace of mind in respect of lack of apparent progress on the TAPU by the comments from others who had or were going through similar delays
