Property buyers dive in as Turkey’s lira plunges

This week's currency crisis has prompted a flood of overseas buyers seeking bargains

Property investors have been flocking to Turkey this week in a bid to grab houses and apartments that have in some cases dropped from 55,000 a month ago to below 37,000 now.

The highly-publicised collapse in the Turkish lira may have been a disaster for the country - and any British expat who bought there in the last two years - but it has been described as a bonanza for those holding US dollars, pounds or euros.
