Turkey is full of business promise for golf pro

Clitheroe Golf Club’s PGA head professional Paul McEvoy has teed up a winning business partnership with Burnley-based Turkish property specialists Propertyinturkey.com buying into their new Royal Links golf resort development.
Paul was looking to invest in a villa where he could earn rental income from his property and also take small parties of people from the UK during autumn and winter for golf coaching in the breathtaking surroundings of the new Hilton golf course and spa at Sarigerme.

Talking about the decision to buy a villa in Turkey Paul said, “I had considered investing in Spain or Portugal and I’m glad I held off and followed my instincts for the growing popularity of golf in Turkey and the value for money that the country offers in terms of property prices and non-Eurozone cost of living.

“The new course being built as part of the new Hilton Dalaman Golf Resort & Spa in Sarigerme on Turkey’s ‘Turquoise Coast’ is a 15 minute drive from the excellent Dalaman Airport. The golfing facilities will be fantastic, combined with views of pine-covered mountains, a wonderful climate and activities from sailing to scuba diving. The economic advantages on top of all this make it a very attractive business investment.
“The personal and honest service I experienced from Kieron Hunt and his team at Propertyinturkey.com is mirrored by the help I get from their Turkish business partners Hakan and Katie Cinar. They have helped to sort out all the legal elements and put in place a sensibly priced maintenance package that gives me peace of mind when I’m not there.”

Paul has invested in a 4 bedroom villa at The Royal Links gated complex which comes complete with a pool, jacuzzi and private grounds overlooking the golf course and sea. Villa prices start at £145,000 and it is estimated that having a view of the golf course already adds around 20 per cent to the property’s value.
