Holiday home insurance in Turkey Is your property in Turkey properly protected? As the owner of a holiday home in Turkey, you already understand the importance of protecting your valuable asset.

In addition, all policy documentation is written in English - so you know exactly what you are getting.

Lockable Storage bags or cupboards for your linen in Bodrum

Image
when you rent your apartment to guests for one week, they should only be supplied linen for that week, unless you are happy to pay for the cleaning costs. In the majority of cases, when more than the usual supply of linen is made available for the guest, then it will naturally be used with the owner of the apartment or villa paying for the laundry costs. The answer to this is to have a lockable linen storage area, whether it be a linen bag or closet. We at Idealworld Bodrum have had requests to make wardrobes and cupboards for storing linen and personal items. Some of you may have underbed storage units. They can be made secure by fitting a Yale/Chubb high tensile patio door bolt on the side. Idealworld Bodrum are able to supply and fit these. The linen bags are 70 cm x 40cm x 50cm high. It is fitted with a double large zip with a combination padlock. For 45TL, one of these bags could be yours. You can store your personal belongings in these along with the linen.

Hot Water Heater modification for clients in the Bodrum area

Image
Hot water in Turkish apartments or villas is usually provided by a boiler fitted in either the bathroom or an alcove.  Most of these have a pressure relief valve, which activates when the pressure in the boiler rises above a certain amount and protects the boiler from excessive pressure. These pressure changes can occur when the water heats up and cools down, or within the water supply itself. Problem -  when the pressure relief valve opens and water is released, it can be anything from a drip to a trickle.  If a drip tube has been fitted, this will divert the water either to a container on the floor, to the sink or to the toilet (see photo).  This is practical, but does not look good.  If no tube is fitted the water will pool on the floor, which is messy and could cause someone to slip. We have had two bathrooms flooded this year when the supply water pressure had been too high.  The relief valve opened as intended, but as no drip tube was fitted the wat...

Milas Property Council tax payments

Image
     I have published a few articles concerning the payment of property taxes in Milas. Although the website is now in English, it now appears that only certain cards work. I have tried a UK Visa and Mastercard with no success. The only card I can get to work is our Garanti credit card. So to help our clinets to make these payments, I have set up these admin charges to cover our costs. 1. Payment made via bank transfer into a UK account - £7 2. Credit card payments to Paypal - £7 + 3.5% Paypal surcharge 3.Paypal payments (not credit card) - £7 4. Payment to our Turkish bank account in Turkish Lira - £0 These fees are for Idealworld Bodrum clients only.

Mosquito (Fly) screens Bodrum

Image
Whether you have an apartment in Gulluk, Bodrum, Tuzla or anywhere in Turkey, you will have come across the problem of mosquitoes. They do not seem to bother some people, but others come up in big red bumps when they are bitten. There are many produced on the shelf to deter these pests such as the plug ins and slow burn wicks, but mosquito screens will stop them from getting into your villa or apartment in Turkey. There is nothing more annoying than the whine of the mosquito as it buzzes past your head while you are relaxing or trying to sleep. Depending on the size of your windows, and how big your property is obviously is a contributing factor to cost. The patio doors have a metal frame and windows a plastic one. You are looking at 700TL to 1100TL for your average apartment in Turkey. Most property management companies offer a fitting service. Apparently Mosquitoes do not like air conditioning!
