Buying, selling or managing property in Turkey means dealing with a unique set of laws and rules. Whether you are a resident or a foreigner, working with a Turkish property lawyer helps make your transaction smooth, secure and legally compliant. At Canko Law Firm, we provide professional and reliable legal services for all types of property matters. Legal services tailored for your needs by a Turkish lawyer.

Why do you need a Turkish property lawyer?

A Turkish property lawyer is essential to make sure your rights are protected and the transaction is legally sound. Here is how we can help.

1. Buying property

Conducting due diligence to check for any debts, disputes or legal issues tied to the property.
Reviewing contracts and making sure they meet legal requirements.
Helping with the Tapu (title deed) transfer process at the land registry.

If you are thinking about buying property in Turkey, take advice before you pay a deposit or sign anything. Small mistakes can be costly to fix later.

2. Selling property

Preparing and reviewing sales agreements to protect your interests.
Making sure all legal requirements are met for a smooth transaction.
Handling tax and other financial duties linked to the sale.

3. Renting property

Drafting rental agreements that protect landlords or tenants.
Resolving disputes, such as unpaid rent or property damage.

4. Legal disputes

Representing you in court for property disputes, such as ownership conflicts or contract breaches.

Special services for foreign buyers

If you are a foreign national, buying property in Turkey comes with extra requirements. The law in Turkey sets rules on where and how much foreign nationals can buy. A property lawyer can help with:

Checking whether the property is in an area where foreigners are allowed to buy.
Obtaining military clearance, if required.
Helping you get a tax ID and open a bank account in Turkey.

We make sure that foreign buyers fully understand the process and comply with Turkish property laws. The UK government also publishes general information in its guide to living in Turkey.
