international social organizations and ask the international

of your own citizens fellow.Costs
Rents for a 2-bedroom apartment in in the south of Turkey
can be £175 - 200 per month, while a 3-bedroom house can be
around £200 - 250 per month. In addition, you might pay a
real estate agent up to 1 months rent. Then you might need
to buy kitchen cabinets and maybe pay for redecoration.
Types of housing
Many Turkish families live in communal property developments
where rents are lower than in the town centers. Rents are
calculated according to the number of bedrooms and the floor
area (in square meters). Generally the higher an apartment
is in a block, the more expensive it is (you pay for the
view, the extra light, the absence of street noise,
increased security and the rarified air). However, if a
block doesn't have a lift, apartments on lower floors may be
the most expensive. 1 square meter is about 10 square feet.
