Real Estate and Tenancy Law

Buying, owning or renting property in Türkiye requires careful review of title, zoning, contracts and payment records. We advise owners, tenants and investors on transactions and property disputes.

How we can assist

• Title-deed and transaction due diligence
• Sale, preliminary-sale and construction contracts
• Eviction and rent-adjustment disputes
• Title cancellation, registration and boundary claims
• Property management and condominium disputes

How the process usually works

1. Initial assessment. We identify the parties, immediate deadlines, jurisdiction and the practical objective.
2. Document and evidence review. We examine the available records, explain gaps and identify evidence that should be preserved.
3. Strategy and action. We prepare the appropriate application, notice, negotiation or court proceeding under Turkish law.
4. Follow-up. We monitor service, hearings and decisions and explain the next step in clear English.

Important timing points

• Eviction notices, payment orders and court decisions may trigger short response periods.
• Before purchase, title, encumbrance and zoning checks should be completed before funds are released.

Deadlines depend on the exact decision, service method and legal basis. Please obtain individual advice before relying on a general period.

Documents to prepare

• Title deed and land-registry information
• Sale, lease or construction agreement
• Payment records and correspondence
• Notices, payment orders and court papers

Common mistakes to avoid

• Paying before title and encumbrances are checked
• Using an incomplete lease or handover record
• Sending an eviction or default notice in the wrong form

Frequently asked questions

Can a foreigner buy property in Türkiye?

Foreign nationals may acquire property subject to nationality, location and statutory restrictions. The title and transaction should be checked before payment.

Can a landlord evict a tenant immediately after non-payment?

Eviction requires the legally appropriate notice or proceeding. The route depends on the lease, payment history and reason relied upon.
