What the law says

Title to real estate passes only by registration at the Land Registry (tapu müdürlüğü). A private sales agreement does not transfer ownership; a preliminary sale agreement must be signed before a notary to be enforceable.

Foreigners may acquire property subject to reciprocity and statutory area limits and outside military and security zones.

FAQ

Is a cash payment safe?

We recommend bank transfers with a stated purpose and, where possible, payment on the day of the title transfer.

What is iskan?

The occupancy permit confirming that the building complies with the project. Without it, utilities and some procedures may be problematic.

Can you handle the purchase without my presence?

Yes, under a notarised power of attorney with property-specific wording.
