#Beachfront Luxury

[robertleechestateagents]

Fancy a day at the beach?

With the next bank holiday just round the corner and we’re beginning to think about going further a field – thoughts of day trips spring to mind and if the weather starts to behave, the beach has to be one of our favourite destinations. So here’s around up of our favourite spots that are also not too far from Surrey…

Camber Sands, East Sussex

As recommended by Andrew Stanyard, Associate Director, Reigate

Camber Sands is a truly gorgeous stretch of golden beach and sand dunes. At nearly 5 miles long, there will always be somewhere to lay your beach towel. The best section of beach is the western end, near where the River Rother empties into the sea. Here it is wall to wall sand, whilst further along the beach it becomes more shingly.

It’s a popular windsurfing / kite-surfing spot which might suggest it is worth packing a windbreak! Despite its fantastic natural assets, Camber Sands remains largely unspoilt. For the larger part of the year, there is a good chance of finding some solitude here and even in the height of summer the crowds are bearable.

Dog friendly? – Dogs are allowed all year but between May and September they must be on a lead and restricted between beach Zones F & H.

Travel time – Approx 1hr 30mins from RH2

West Wittering, West Sussex

As recommended by Michelle Cheshire, Lettings Manager, Oxted

A firm favourite with most of the office is the beautiful beach at West Wittering. Unfortunately, it is also a firm favourite with most of the south-east so make sure you set off early to avoid the traffic.

Offering wonderful views of Chichester Harbour and the South Downs beyond, the natural and unspoilt sandy beach of West Wittering is the perfect spot for a day at the beach. The extensive acres of neatly mown grass close to the beach are perfect for parking and picnics. The sea is popular with wind and kite surfers, while shallow lagoons are left on extensive sandy flats at low tide. The whole area is internationally recognised for its wildlife, birds and unique beauty.

Dog friendly? Bins are provided and dog free zones are in place from May to September.

Travel time – Approx 1hr 30mins from RH2

Climbing Beach, West Sussex

As recommended by Emma West, Manager, Reigate

Climping beach is a lot quieter than its grander neighbour – The Witterings. It is also more rurally located about halfway between Littlehampton and Bognor. Like many of the beaches along this stretch of the Sussex coast, it is made up of shingle and pebbles held in place by a series of wooden groynes and as the tide goes out, a vast expanse of sand is exposed. The beach is backed by low sand dunes and fields. Much of this area is now protected, being designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). There are few facilities on the beach, so be prepared with a well stocked picnic, but just behind the beach is Bailiffs Court, the boutique hotel and spa, which would make a lovely overnight stay (when restrictions allow).

Dog friendly? Yep!

Travel time – About 1hr 10 from RH2

Broadstairs, Kent

As recommended by Charlotte Simons, Marketing, Reigate

On the East Coast of Kent Broadstairs is a gem a town, full of seaside charm mixed with seaside chic and it boasts an impressive seven sand-filled beaches and bays. Head to Joss Bay to learn to surf, or rural Botany Bay to saunter amid towering chalk stacks. At the town’s main beach, Viking Bay, discover children’s rides, beach huts, Kent Surf School, a harbour and cliff-top promenade. Check out Morellis, the retro ice cream parlour along the promenade which has been open since 1932.

Dog friendly? During the summer months there are time restrictions on most of the beaches between 10am-6pm

Travel time – About 1hr 30 from RH2

Whitstable, Kent

As recommended by Andy Wilkins, Branch Manager, Oxted

The chic seaside town of Whitstable, on the North Kent Coast, has been a longtime favourite location for Londoners to get away from it all. The beach itself is a long stretch of shingle divided up by wooden groynes. It runs from just south of the town’s harbour to neighbouring Seasalter -a distance of around a mile, where you will find the The Sportsman, the well renowned and Michelin starred pub.

Despite the lack of sand Whitstable is still a fantastic spot. It represents the best of the traditional British seaside; not piers and donkey rides, but quirkiness and charm. There are beach huts, weatherboard cottages, fishing boats pulled up on the beach and the Neptune pub sits practically on the beach. There are a few other places to grab a bite to eat along the beach too, including the Whitstable Oyster Company restaurant if you fancy something a little upmarket.

Whitstable beach is popular for windsurfing and sailing, with the Whitstable Yacht Club located at the northern end.

To top this all off Whitstable beach faces west meaning it is a great place to catch a sunset.

Dog friendly? Yep!

Travel time – About 1hr 30 from RH2

Ferring, West Sussex

As recommended by Jordon Gladman, Assistant Manager, Lingfield

There is one very good reason to go to the pebbly beach at Ferring, just west of Worthing and that is the Bluebird Cafe which sits right on the beach and has built up quite a reputation for itself. It makes an ideal spot for an early morning stroll. Pooches are allowed on the beach, and then a slap up brunch at the cafe.

Dog friendly? Yes!

Travel time – Approx 1 hr from RH2

Steamy Romantic Short Stories - 12 Steamy Romantic Short Stories (Complete Short Stories) (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/1470882150-12-steamy-romantic-short-stories-complete-short?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_reading&wp_uname=Pieterhb These stories were all written by AI with a little bit of help from me. I was actually surprised to see the quality of story writing from AI. If I have to be critical of it, then it is the creativity of variation that still needs some work. Furthermore, it will probably not be long before AI will come up with incredible stories that no human can surpass. If you reckon AI cannot write steamy romance stories, read these stories and decide for yourself. You are free to use these stories as guidelines for your own stories. Lastly, keep in mind that there are strict filters in AI when it comes to romance, sex, etc. and therefore it will not write explicit sex scenes, for example. Thus, these twelve steamy stories have sexual undertones, but do not contain explicit sex scenes.

1. Key Benefits of Investing in Istanbul Real Estate

Istanbul’s real estate market offers several advantages that make it a top investment destination. Below are the key reasons why purchasing property in Istanbul in 2024 is an appealing option for foreign investors.

1.1 Booming Economy and Increasing Demand

As Turkey's financial and cultural capital, Istanbul has a rapidly growing economy. The city's diversified economy, which includes sectors such as technology, tourism, and finance, continues to fuel demand for both residential and commercial properties. As the population rises, so does the need for more housing and business spaces, ensuring high demand in the real estate market.

1.2 Strategic Location

Istanbul’s position as a bridge between Europe and Asia is a major asset. This strategic location not only benefits trade and business but also makes Istanbul a magnet for foreign investors. The ease of access to both continents and the city’s growing transportation networks, such as the new airport and metro systems, make it an ideal location for investment.

1.3 High Rental Yields

For investors focused on rental income, Istanbul is highly lucrative. The city offers attractive rental yields, particularly in high-demand areas such as Besiktas, Kadikoy, and Beylikduzu. These areas are seeing growing demand for both long-term and short-term rentals, providing opportunities for consistent returns.

2. Istanbul’s Real Estate Market Outlook for 2024

Istanbul’s property market is expected to maintain its growth trajectory in 2024, with several positive factors contributing to an optimistic outlook for investors.

2.1 Projected Price Increases

Istanbul’s continued infrastructure development, such as the completion of the Istanbul Canal, expanded metro lines, and the third airport, is set to fuel long-term capital appreciation. Experts predict steady increases in property prices across the city, especially in emerging areas near new transportation links.

2.2 Rising Demand in Suburban Areas

As city-center prices climb, investors are increasingly turning their attention to suburban areas like Beylikduzu and Silivri. These areas are seeing rapid development, and their more affordable properties present attractive investment opportunities with the potential for substantial value increases.

2.3 Stable Rental Market

Istanbul’s rental market remains robust, driven by the influx of students, tourists, and professionals. This strong demand for rental properties ensures a stable income for property owners, with short-term rentals seeing particularly high returns in tourist-centric neighborhoods.

3. Top Neighborhoods to Invest in

Istanbul offers a diverse array of neighborhoods, each with its own appeal for different types of investors. Below are some of the top neighborhoods to consider when buying property in Istanbul.

3.1 Besiktas

Besiktas is one of Istanbul’s most desirable and upscale neighborhoods. Located along the Bosphorus, it offers beautiful waterfront views, proximity to central business districts, and a vibrant social scene. It’s a perfect area for both residential and commercial investments, with strong rental demand.

3.2 Kadikoy

On the Asian side of Istanbul, Kadikoy is growing in popularity due to its vibrant arts scene, rich cultural history, and increasing demand from both locals and expats. Kadikoy offers a range of affordable housing options that are expected to appreciate in value over time, especially with ongoing infrastructure development.

3.3 Beylikduzu and Basaksehir

For those looking for more affordable investment options, Beylikduzu and Basaksehir are emerging areas with high growth potential. These districts benefit from new developments, such as residential complexes and commercial centers, making them prime choices for long-term investors.

3.4 Sultanahmet

Known as the heart of Istanbul's historic district, Sultanahmet is ideal for investors interested in the tourism sector. With world-famous landmarks such as the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque, the area is a prime location for short-term rentals and hospitality investments.

4. Step-by-Step Guide to Buying Property in Istanbul

Investing in Istanbul real estate is straightforward if you follow these essential steps:

4.1 Research the Market

Before purchasing a property, it's crucial to understand the local market trends, property values, and potential returns. Conducting research, visiting Istanbul, and engaging a local real estate agent will ensure you're making a sound investment.

4.2 Hire a Professional Real Estate Agent

Working with a knowledgeable real estate agent can save time and help you find the best investment opportunities. An experienced agent will guide you through the legal procedures, suggest suitable properties, and help negotiate the best deal.

4.3 Understand the Legal Process

Foreign buyers can easily purchase property in Istanbul, but it's essential to understand the legal process. The necessary steps include getting a Turkish tax number, having the property appraised, and ensuring the title deed is free of encumbrances. Engaging a lawyer who specializes in real estate law is highly recommended.

4.4 Arrange Financing

If you're financing your purchase, Turkish banks offer mortgages to foreign buyers. You can typically borrow up to 70% of the property value. Be sure to compare financing options to secure the best terms.

4.5 Complete the Purchase

Once all legalities are addressed, you can transfer the property’s title to your name. This process typically takes about a month, after which you’ll officially own the property.

5. Legal and Financial Considerations for Foreign Investors

Buying property in Istanbul involves a number of legal and financial considerations that foreign investors need to keep in mind.

5.1 Property Taxes

Turkey has relatively low property taxes. Property tax rates range from 0.1% to 0.3% of the property’s value, with additional taxes for purchasing property. Title deed transfer fees, which are usually around 4% of the property value, should also be factored into your budget.

5.2 Other Costs

Additional costs include notary fees, legal fees, and possible utility connection charges. It’s also advisable to consider the costs of property management if you plan to rent the property.

5.3 Financing Options

Several banks in Turkey offer mortgage loans to foreign investors, though interest rates may vary. Typically, foreign buyers can access up to 70% of the property's value, with the remainder covered by the buyer.

6. Why Istanbul Remains a Prime Investment Location

Istanbul’s real estate market remains a safe and profitable investment choice due to several factors:

6.1 Strong Tourism Industry

With millions of tourists visiting Istanbul every year, there is a constant demand for short-term rental properties. Areas near popular landmarks and the city center are particularly lucrative for investors seeking high returns on short-term rental properties.

6.2 Government Investments and Infrastructure Development

Ongoing and future government projects, such as the new Istanbul Canal and improved transportation links, will drive up property values in key locations. Investing in Istanbul today allows you to capitalize on these long-term development projects.

6.3 Capital Appreciation

Historically, Istanbul’s property market has seen consistent price increases. With continued urbanization and infrastructure improvements, capital appreciation is expected to continue, particularly in up-and-coming areas like Beylikduzu and Basaksehir.
