REAL ESTATE LAW

Real Estate & Property Law

Turkish Legal Consultancy

We provide comprehensive legal services in real estate and property law, assisting individuals, investors, and companies in acquiring, managing, and protecting real estate assets in Turkey.

Our practice covers both dispute resolution and transactional advisory, allowing us to support our clients at every stage—from the initial evaluation of an investment to the resolution of complex legal disputes.

Litigation & Property Disputes

Real estate disputes often involve high-value assets and require careful legal handling.

We represent our clients in matters related to ownership disputes, title deed registration and cancellation, easement rights, mortgage-related conflicts, eviction and possession claims, rent determination, and condominium-related disputes. We also act in cases involving co-ownership, partition, and disputes with land registry authorities, as well as the correction of errors in official records.

Our approach is focused on protecting ownership rights and resolving disputes in a way that is both efficient and commercially practical.

Advisory & Transactional Services

We assist our clients throughout the entire real estate process, ensuring that each transaction is legally secure and properly structured.

Our services include the preparation and review of sale agreements, lease agreements, construction contracts, and mortgage arrangements, as well as the supervision of negotiations and execution. We conduct legal due diligence, reviewing title records, encumbrances, zoning status, and regulatory compliance.

We also support clients in title deed transactions, leasing processes, rental structures, and ongoing management of real estate assets. Where required, we handle applications before public authorities, including land registry offices and municipalities.

Foreign Investment in Real Estate

For foreign clients, real estate transactions in Turkey require clear legal guidance and proper structuring.

We assist international clients in navigating the process from start to finish, including property selection, legal review, acquisition, financing, and compliance with foreign ownership regulations. We coordinate with banks, valuation experts, and public authorities to ensure a smooth and secure transaction.

Our objective is to provide a process that is clear, reliable, and fully compliant, allowing clients to invest with confidence.

Why Legal Support Matters

Real estate transactions in Turkey involve legal, financial, and regulatory risks.

Without proper legal oversight, issues such as ownership disputes, hidden liabilities, invalid contracts, or zoning restrictions may arise. A well-managed legal process not only protects your investment, but also prevents future disputes.

We focus on delivering practical, protective, and results-oriented legal solutions.
