Real Estate Transactions & Due Diligence in Turkey
Real estate is a high-value decision — and for foreigners in Turkey, a single hidden issue can turn a purchase into a long-term dispute. We provide attorney-led due diligence and transaction support to ensure the property, the contract, and the title transfer are legally safe.
Where Foreign Buyers Face Risk
Most problems appear after payment — when it’s hardest to reverse the situation. That is why legal checks must happen before signing or sending money.
- Title deed risks: mortgages, liens, encumbrances, restrictions
- Zoning & compliance: project approvals, permits, occupancy status
- Seller-side issues: authority, representation, hidden disputes
- Contract traps: unclear delivery dates, penalty clauses, refunds
Our Due Diligence Approach
We do not rely on “assurances.” We verify documents and structure the deal so it is enforceable and safe in practice.
- Document review: title deed records and legal status checks
- Risk mapping: identifying deal-breaking issues early
- Contract structuring: deposits, milestones, delivery and refunds
- Closing support: representation through title transfer process

Important Note
Do not pay deposits or sign agreements before legal review. Many disputes begin with informal promises and incomplete documents. A proper due diligence process reduces financial risk and prevents preventable litigation.
