Our Working Areas
REAL ESTATE LAW
Real estate law is a legal discipline that governs the ownership, use, and transfer of immovable properties. It encompasses matters related to the purchase and sale of land, fields, residential and commercial properties, title deed transactions, lease agreements, and the termination of joint ownership.
The Turkish Civil Code (Law No. 4721) serves as the foundational legislation for real estate law, while specialized laws such as the Zoning Law, the Condominium Law, and the Land Protection Law provide additional regulatory frameworks for immovable property matters. This area of law ensures the legal protection of property ownership, addresses disputes related to title deeds, manages zoning and expropriation processes, and handles various legal matters associated with real estate.
Real estate transactions are complex processes requiring both technical knowledge and legal expertise. Errors in title deed procedures, legal ambiguities, and contractual deficiencies can lead to significant financial and legal risks for the parties involved. Therefore, obtaining expert legal guidance is crucial to ensure the seamless and legally compliant completion of real estate transactions.
