Property for sale in Davutlar (Kuşadası)

Davutlar at a glance

Davutlar belongs to Kuşadası and lies a good 20 minutes by car south of the centre, towards the Dilek Peninsula. The town stretches out flat between the road and the sea, with a long beach of sand and shingle, a promenade, a market square and many complexes built for the summer. Behind it begins the national park on the Dilek Peninsula, with bays, pine forest and wild boar waiting at the car park for picnic leftovers.

From Izmir airport it is about an hour and a half by car.

Location

South of Kuşadası, at the Dilek Peninsula National Park

Who Davutlar suits

Anyone who wants to spend the summer on the beach and does not want to pay Kuşadası centre prices for it. Families, because the beach is shallow and the complexes have a pool and playground. People with Turkish roots whose relatives live on the Aegean, and anyone who values peace in winter: from October to April little happens here, and that is exactly what some people want.

The scene: an evening in August, the market on the town square, peaches and figs from the farmer, behind it the promenade where half of Davutlar walks after dinner.

Buying a house

Summer houses and semi-detached houses with a small garden, some in rows on the beach, some in the streets behind. Detached villas with sea views stand on the slopes towards Kuşadası.

What we check for you

Many complexes in Davutlar were built for the summer. We look at how they are in winter, whether the Aidat (monthly service charge) is paid and whether Iskan (occupancy permit) is in place. We read the Tapu (title deed), check for encumbrances and, for properties near the water, the coastal protection zone. Someone from our network on the Aegean has been on site before you fly, and sends you photos and video.

Costs and process when buying

When you buy, the additional costs are roughly 4 to 5 per cent: 4 per cent Tapu fee, valuation report, DASK (compulsory earthquake insurance), translation. We work them out for your property. The guide to purchase costs gives an overview, and we explain the process in the guide to the buying process.
