Hi
When we buy a property we will use it a lot in Autumn/Winter (due to husband's job in Golf keeping him busy in Summer).
I am keen to stay warm but notice that many properties don't mention heating? Is it expensive to install in Turkey?

Jackie it's not too expensive, I have read on here that someone has had it installed but I can't recall the figure.

Murdo, When we purchased our house it had the pipes ready installed for central heating, therefore, we had to purchase 7 radiators one boiler and as we opted for diesel fuel had to have a small depot built at the back to store the fuel tank and boiler, the total cost 1yr ago complete was £600, this also ensures that we have hot water when the sun goes on holiday!
The make we opted for was Baymak, noticed that the new hospitals have this make installed, also realised that the contact was Baxi (obviously Baymak must be the Tukish version)
Friends had gas fitted, and regret it, they pay approx £40 for 20hrs! and dont benefit as the whole property is marble. we purchased 100gals of fuel costing approx £275 (cheaper to buy in the summer!) ans we still have over 25 gals left, and I refuse to be cold, so this is not bad.

we are having heating installed in our new villa, maybe I can get a rough idea as to the costs, but i guess its all depends on property size, room size etc

Speedy our house is 100-125 sqm ish... we have wooden laminate floors as found marble too cold for the winter, and we got wooden stairs (cladded over concrete,) so I guess that if I suddenly developed a wanting for marble could change them, but I think that Gordon would class this grounds for divorce or just bundle me up for the funny farm!

The depot (forgot to mention) cost an extra £75, is build discretly against the building and painted to blend. looks just like a garden tool shed. I wish now that we had the water tanks located inthe roof space and electric booster installed, but just another thought, still grounds for divorce, so I cant push my luck, we just live and learn.


Opps .. sorry Gail, hello,,, No I have been around, just busy trying to teach myself web building, cos you know how nosey I am! but I have been watching you all..so be warned...lol...oh sorry forgot you are the moderator...my humble apologies Lady Gail

It would be a good idea if somebody could put together a check list of the things that are needed in a new property i.e air con, heating,fly screens,security grills etc etc.Dribs and drabs of info are posted about these things all the time,maybe a separate section would be helpful. As has just been pointed out ...oil is maybe cheaper in the long run than gas.Little things like that wouldn't be known to peeps moving to Turkey.

Why is it that all these basic utilities aren't built into the property from the start?...the builders finish the property,then guys come around bashing holes here there and everywhere to install stuff, when it would have been much easier to do on construction.Rick.

Rick, it would be a good idea if you moderators could put a locked topic with such info, that way it would always be to the fore and not get lost in chat.

Most new properties being built now have the pipes laid in the walls and under the floor, so if central heating is wanted can eaily be installed without bashing walls (our was built in readiness but they still managed to bash one,)!

Extras you may want, and add to the cost of the property, Grills, mossies nets, central heating, aircon, of course all areas differ,
but just over a yr ago ours worked out at: Fethiye
Central heating £600 (7-8 radiators boiler, diesel tank holding over 100 gals) depot £75 (concrete base, metal housing, wood and shingle roof)
Grills for 16 windows and 4 balcony doors £550 (nothing fancy just pot belly style)
16 windows of mossy nets £200 (thought that a bit steep)
4 air con units (Beko Lg make) differing sizes £700

Great! I will make sure I ask about this with each property we look at. Being cold is a no-no. Our house here is...erm...a work in progress...so used to chills but don't like it! Pity it doesn't cost the same amount to install central heating here in the UK...we got quoted 4K
