Buying, selling and managing property in Turkey involves legal and commercial risks. Before a transaction, ownership, land registry records, encumbrances and building law requirements should be examined carefully.
Dedeoğlu Partner advises private clients, companies and investors on property matters in Turkey. We support our clients from the legal review through to completion of the transaction and represent them in real estate disputes.
Advice and communication are available in English, German and Turkish.
Questions that frequently arise in property matters
We assess the legal starting position and set out the existing risks and the available options for our clients.
- Is the seller actually entitled to dispose of the property?
- Are there mortgages, attachments or other encumbrances?
- Are the required permits and occupancy certificates in place?
- Which provisions should the purchase agreement contain?
- Can foreign nationals acquire property in Turkey?
- What rights exist in the event of construction defects or late handover?

PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS FROM ABROAD
We support owners and buyers living abroad in handling their property matters in Turkey. Many steps can be carried out on the basis of a power of attorney, so our clients’ personal presence is often not required.
