What is it?A semi-detached villa in Akbuk with two bedrooms, bathroom + separate WC, and an open-plan kitchen and salon. There are also two balconies and two sun terraces, one on the roof with a fraction of a sea view, and one on the ground floor. It has a garden front and back and is on a small private holiday estate.
Why buy?
Akbuk is the definition of an up-and-coming location and new villas here fetch around £100,000. This property has attractive views, large terrace areas and sacks of potential - without having to spend a fortune. Other similar properties on the same site are offering not much more (new doors and windows, fresh paint) but asking over £35,000 - an extra £15,000.
Why not?
The estate is average - nothing wrong but there are many in Akbuk that are more attractive and have extra facilities, like a sports area or a cafe. The location is average too - Akbuk has some stunning views and lovely properties within a stone's throw of the sea or the town centre, but this has OK views and the seafront and the centre are at least 15 minutes' walk. The property needs new windows, doors, tiling and plastering, and a new bathroom and kitchen would also be a good idea.
Last word
OK, it's not Buckingham Palace but £20,000 spent on any property in Akbuk is probably a very good investment, and this property is by no means a money pit. £1,000 on renovation work would make it as good as new and a £5,000 refurb would cover a full modernisation - marble floors, new doors and windows, new bathroom and kitchen, replastering, new verandas and a makeover for the garden! Add on another £2,000 for the buying costs and £3,000 for furniture... £30,000 for a villa in the sun. Who could argue with that?
