Turkish Property Auction a success

Last year, October 7, the Turkish Property Auction in the United Kingdom was held at the Sandown World of Property Show. It was believed to be the first ever and was organized by World of Property (WOP) and Solaris Villas.

Prior to the event, many buyers and investors have shown great interest in the auction. An estimated four thousand visited the World of Property Auction web site. Six hundred requested for the Auction Catalogue before the event.

“The response to the Auction was amazing with everyone looking for a bargain. A number of properties were sold prior to the Auction and major savings were there on the day with some properties discounted by up to £25,000,” reveals Bernadette Tyson, Director of Solaris Villas. “There have been further sales after the Auction as people’s interest has continued throughout the past few weeks. Because Solaris Villas has a unique relationship with its developer network, we are able to bring a number of all exclusive bargain properties up for Auction, giving everyone the opportunity to get their dream home at a price that they would not normally find anywhere else”.



Managing Director of World of Property, Mike Schwarz adds, “last year WOP made a considerable investment into digital media and our new website has proved to be very successful with leading initiatives such as this”.

Managing Director of Solaris Villas greatly appreciated the assistance of WOP. “Due to the auction’s success and the continued support from World of Property, we have managed to persuade the developers who featured in the Auction to keep their properties available at Auction prices until January 2007,” says Paul Benedek. According to the Managing Director, many other developers have also been watching the auction’s success and have also decided to offer further bargains. “This is an opportunity for those people who were unable to attend the live Auction to still grab a bargain. What’s more, with the extended period we have persuaded the developers to provide subsidized viewing trips so people can also see the properties before they buy”.
