Happy New Year from all of us at Turquoise Homes, and a warm welcome into 2006.

Things are getting nicely underway over here in Altinkum, with great weather smiling on the builders keen to get their new properties up and running before the start of the season. We have some of our own which are coming along quite nicely, as you can see from this picture taken in early December (next installment eagerly awaited!).

Another type of new development came out of our visit at the end of last year to Overseas Property Professional (OPP Live '05) at Alexandra Palace. We at Turquoise Homes are always looking to improve the services we offer our customers, and in response to requests from some of you, we are working with a UK-based company to bring you a number of different products to make owning or buying your property in Turkey easier and happier than ever. This is a brand-new partnership and the products themselves are also brand-new to Turkey so the finer details are still in development, but look out for.... [cue Price Is Right theme music]

Home insurance in English for your property in Turkey - 24/7 helpline!
Equity release on your second home in Spain to invest in your third home in Turkey!
£10 foreign exchange and transfer from your UK bank account to your Turkish Lira savings account!
A discount for Turquoise Homes customers on insurance, foreign exchange and much more!

These are just three examples, and we have many more in the pipeline so please watch this space, or contact us if you want to know more. If there's anything else you'd really like to see us offer, let us know - this really is for you and so the more input we have, the better we can make it.

So, New Year, New Insurance. Something this good doesn't need a catchy title, anyway. Happy new year.
