Expert guidance and practical tips from our real estate law specialists
A notarized contract is important because many contracts concerning immovable property in Turkey must be officially drawn up before a notary public to be legally valid. An ordinary written agreement between a buyer and a seller may be deemed legally invalid and put the buyer's rights at risk. For this reason, it is advisable to have a lawyer review the form and content of the contract before signing.
A property purchase contract should set out the key terms clearly and understandably, including the delivery date, technical specifications, and penalties for possible delays. Contracts with incomplete or ambiguous wording can lead to serious disputes later. Having the content reviewed by a lawyer helps ensure it is legally sound and protective of your rights.
Yes, foreign nationals can invest in and purchase real estate in Turkey, including apartments in housing projects. However, such transactions carry legal risks, and requirements vary depending on the specific situation and property. We recommend obtaining legal advice from a specialized lawyer before signing any contract to secure your investment.
While not always mandatory, it is strongly advisable to work with a lawyer when buying property in Turkey, especially as a foreign national. A lawyer checks whether the contract is properly notarized, examines whether the content complies with the law, and identifies potential risks in advance. This helps protect your rights and the safety of your investment.
