Appraisal factors
Proximity to the sea and view
In Torba, the distance to the bay and the beach, the quality of the sea view and the walking distance to the shore are the main determinants of value. Coastal-strip rules and the status of the coastline boundary are taken into account in the appraisal.
Community layout and rental potential
In managed gated communities in Torba, the shared areas, pool, security and service-charge structure affect the appraisal. The weekly rental potential during the summer months brings the income capitalisation method to the fore for investment apartments.
Zoning and proximity to the centre
Proximity to Bodrum centre, year-round accessibility and zoning status are decisive for value in Torba.
