Real Estate Law & Property Purchase in Turkey
Don’t Sign Without a Lawyer. Secure Your Investment.
Buying property in a foreign country can be complex and risky. Real estate agents are focused on closing the sale, but who protects your interests? At Mustafa Şenel Law Firm, we act solely as your legal guardian. We do not sell properties; we ensure that the property you want to buy is legally clean and safe. Our goal is to prevent future disputes and financial loss before you sign any contract.
Comprehensive Legal Support for Property Buyers
- Due Diligence (Background Check): Before you pay a deposit, we check the official Land Registry (Tapu) records for any liens, hypothecs, debts, or legal disputes on the property.
- Contract Review: We draft or review the “Sales Promise Agreement” to ensure clauses protect the buyer, not just the seller.
- Title Deed Transfer: We represent you at the Land Registry Office with a Power of Attorney, handling the transfer without you needing to travel.
- Payment Security: Advising on secure payment methods to ensure money is transferred only when the title deed is ready.
Turkish Citizenship by Investment
Turkey offers citizenship to foreign investors who purchase property valued at $400,000 or more. This process requires strict legal compliance. We manage the entire citizenship application process for you and your family, ensuring the property appraisal report and investment certificate meet the official government criteria.
Why Do You Need an Independent Attorney?
In Turkey, relying solely on the seller’s or agent’s advice is a common mistake. Hidden debts on a property or zoning problems are not always disclosed. As an independent law firm in Izmir, our loyalty is only to you, the buyer. We provide an objective legal opinion to ensure a risk-free transaction.
