Legal assurance from title deed to handover in your real estate investments.
Real estate is the type of transaction that is the most valuable, the longest-term, and where mistakes are the most costly. From purchase and sale to leasing, from project development to real estate acquisition by foreign nationals, we carry out all your real estate transactions under legal assurance.
Valuable assets demand meticulous review
The value of a property lies not only in its location, but in whether its title is clean, its zoning permits what you intend and its contract is sound. An overlooked encumbrance, a mortgage or a zoning restriction can turn the most attractive investment into a problem that lasts for years.
From office and production-facility acquisitions to commercial leases, from land development to the acquisition of residential and commercial property by foreign investors, we manage every step of the transaction together with its review, contract and registration phases.
In Which Transactions Does It Come Into Play?
The types of transactions our real estate service typically covers.
Purchase-Sale & Title Deed
Review, contract and title-transfer processes in the purchase and sale of housing, offices, facilities and land.
Commercial Leasing
Contract structuring and lease-relationship management in the leasing of offices, stores, warehouses and facilities.
Foreign Acquisition
Permit, restriction and title processes in the acquisition of property by foreign natural and legal persons.
How Does the Process Work?
The three-stage assurance we follow in every property transaction.
01 · Review
We examine the title record, annotations, mortgages, zoning status and occupancy permit, and report the risks to give you negotiating leverage.
02 · Contract
We construct the promise-to-sell, lease or transfer agreement in a balanced way, with a payment plan, delivery conditions and safeguards.
03 · Registration & Handover
We manage the title transfer and the tax and duty obligations, and close off the risk of disputes at and after handover.

With our multilingual team of lawyers, well-versed in Turkish and German law, we are by your side.
Buy nothing without both a legal and a technical examination. On the title deed record, check that the property genuinely belongs to the seller, and look for every restriction sitting on it — mortgages, attachments, annotations, easements, and an annotation that the property is a family residence.From the municipality, examine the zoning status, the construction permit and the occupancy permit, and establish whether…
A promise to sell that is executed before a notary and annotated on the title deed provides the buyer with strong protection; it creates security against the property being sold to third parties. Promises that are unannotated or in ordinary written form, however, carry serious risk. We draw up the agreement correctly and secure its annotation. Its real strength is enforceability: once notarised and annotated, the pr…
Different regimes apply to Turkish companies with foreign capital and to foreign legal entities; the permit processes vary according to the field of activity, the region, and military-security restrictions. We determine the acquisition route suited to your structure and conduct the permit and title-deed processes. In short: a Türkiye-incorporated company with foreign capital may acquire property for its field of act…
The rent-increase mechanism, the term and renewal, eviction conditions, fit-out and reinstatement obligations, and the right of assignment are the critical provisions of a commercial lease. In long-term leases, an unbalanced clause generates cost for years. We optimise the agreement according to your position. One protection tenants often overlook: under the Turkish Code of Obligations (No. 6098) a roofed-workplace…
Understating the price on the title deed looks like a saving on fees and is nothing of the kind. It is a tax problem first: the title deed fee is charged on the real price, so an understated figure means the fee is short, and that brings a tax penalty, late-payment interest and liability under the Tax Procedure Law.It is also an evidential problem, because a transaction recorded at an unreal price can be treated as…
