KorsanKalkan

I saw my house in 2000 and totally feel in love with it - an Ottoman house with a walled garden in the old part of Kalkan village. The property was enchanting but needing a lot of restoration. It appeared to be owned by an entire family straddling several generations. This was clearly not going to be an easy transaction. I had got to know Uluc and Claire Bilgutay from the Korsan restaurant, a favourite haunt, and the Stone House Pension (now the Fish Terrace) where I regularly used to stay. I decided to consult Uluc and have him handle the purchase. It was a wise move. Having someone who is Turkish, knows the ins and outs of Turkish property law, speaks fluent English and perhaps most importantly, a person who you trust implicitly, is essential. I was not disappointed. Uluc dealt with the very complicated purchase, kept me informed at all stages and guided me through the somewhat complicated Turkish bureaucratic red tape. Having made the purchase, he went on to advise me on the restoration, including employing an architect, sitting in on all meetings to advise and translate and generally overseeing the project. There is no question that I could have muddled through without this kind of expertise. Having someone to see the project through from start to finish was invaluable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Korsan Ltd to any potential buyer, whether it is for a new property or the purchase and restoration of an old building, and wish the Company every success in all their future projects.

"…..He (Uluc Bilgutay) negotiated the sale," Chalkley recalls "it is essential to have someone who knows the system." Chalkley chose to transfer funds to Bilgutay so he could buy the house in his own name. He was then able to start the security search, and Chalkley was able to start restoring her new holiday home. Once the search was completed Bilgutay transferred the house to Chalkley. "The system here is so complicated, everybody needs Uluc" she says. "This was exceptional" is his modest reply."
Karen Robinson, The Sunday Times

“Uluc supervised for us the purchase and renovation of a derelict stone house in
Kalkan's old town during the winter of 2003/4. The work was completed on
time and to budget. We are thrilled with the end result: we had never
imagined that the house could look as good as it does. Uluc and Claire
chose all the materials and furnishings and, although we had only
discussed style in general terms, everything is more or less as we would
have chosen ourselves. The whole process of the work was totally
painless (for us, anyway - no doubt there were many problems on-site
which Uluc just resolved without troubling us with them): we
communicated by e-mail and transferred funds electronically to Uluc. We
trusted him completely and would not have contemplated the project
without his management of it.

Uluc subsequently introduced us to a UK tour operator and helped us draw up a contract with them that will see our house marketed to British holidaymakers for the coming summers. He has also undertaken the management of the house so renting it out is totally effortless for us."
