Property matters in Turkey

A Legal Roadmap for Property Owners and Buyers in Turkey

Choose the property issue or purchase objective that fits your situation, then continue to the relevant Turkish-law resource, service page or contact route.

Choose your route

I own property in Turkey

Choose the issue you need to resolve

The rent is below the current market level

A gap between the current rent and present market conditions needs to be considered alongside the lease and the history of the tenancy. The rental disputes page provides the right starting point for reviewing the issue.

I have a dispute with my tenant

A dispute may concern use of the property, payment, lease terms or the parties' obligations. Identify the nature of the issue and available records before continuing to the relevant tenancy guidance.

I need to assess tenant eviction

The available eviction route depends on the reason for the request and the documents supporting it. The eviction page explains which issues need to be assessed for different situations.

The tenant is not paying rent

Missing or unpaid rent should be reviewed together with payment records and the continuing tenancy. The rental disputes resource helps you consider both the payment and lease dimensions from the appropriate page.

I want to sell the property

A planned sale involves coordinating existing records, contract preparation and title transfer. Continue to the property transaction page for the pre-transfer checks and overall process framework.

I live outside Turkey

Handling a tenancy, sale or other property matter without being in Turkey requires document and communication coordination. The remote section outlines how representation, powers of attorney and file preparation can be planned.

I inherited property in Turkey

Inherited property requires ownership, heirship and the intended next transaction to be considered together. The inheritance law page is the appropriate resource for understanding division and property-related next steps.

International context

If you live outside Turkey

A property matter can begin before you travel, but remote coordination depends on the transaction, available documents and the institutions involved. Representation and document requirements should be defined for the particular matter rather than assumed from a generic checklist.

Transaction coordination

Plan the communication, documents and sequence for a purchase, sale or ongoing property matter.

Power of attorney context

Determine whether representation is needed and what scope and form the specific transaction requires.

Property matters from abroad

Coordinate landlord issues, a property sale and related records without creating a separate placeholder route.

Inheritance and documents

Bring heirship, property records and the intended next step into one coordinated review.

FAQ

Before choosing the next step

What property matters does this hub cover?

This hub directs property owners and prospective buyers to existing pages for tenancy, eviction, sale, inheritance, title review and remote transactions. Detailed legal information remains on the linked service or authority page.

Can a property matter be handled while I am outside Turkey?

Documents and representation can often be planned remotely. The required scope and form of a power of attorney depend on the transaction and the requirements of the relevant authority.

Which documents are useful for an initial review?

The document list depends on the matter. Where available, title records, lease or sale contracts, correspondence, payment records and any existing power of attorney can assist the initial review.

Is this hub a separate legal service page?

No. Its purpose is not to repeat service content, but to identify the user's situation and route them to the appropriate existing property, tenancy, eviction, transaction or inheritance page.

Which property page should I start with?

Begin with the owner or buyer journey, then choose the issue closest to your situation. The tenancy, eviction, transaction and inheritance links lead to existing detailed pages; where several areas overlap, an initial review can help identify the appropriate route.

What is the purpose of legal review before a purchase?

Its purpose is to consider the parties, title record, relevant restrictions and contract terms in the context of the planned transaction. A review can make risks more visible, but it does not guarantee a particular outcome or a risk-free transaction.
