Real Estate Law

Expert guidance on property transactions in Turkey for both Turkish and foreign clients.

Real Estate Law

Turkey's real estate market offers significant opportunities for both local and foreign investors. Navigating property transactions in Turkey requires a thorough understanding of local regulations, title deed procedures, and due diligence requirements — particularly for foreign nationals who face additional legal requirements.

We are highly experienced in representing foreigners in their real estate transactions in Türkiye, advising on all aspects of local legislation and representing clients before Turkish courts. We actively take part in all steps of property transactions and manage the entire process under the best possible legal framework.

Our expertise covers the entire process of property acquisition and disposal, including legal due diligence on title deeds, zoning and building permits, and compliance with foreign ownership regulations; drafting, reviewing, and negotiating sale and purchase agreements; and conducting property transfers before land registry offices.

We also assist with establishing property rights such as easements and usufructs, resolving disputes over ownership, boundaries, or contractual obligations, and initiating litigation when necessary. Our services extend to structuring property investments through companies, managing joint venture agreements, and addressing all legal aspects of leasing, tenancy, and property management.

We have particular experience in advising on high-value and complex transactions, as well as representing clients in disputes with developers, contractors, or co-owners.
