How to avoid risks when buying real estate in Turkey?

Buying real estate in Turkey can be a profitable investment, if you approach the process responsibly and competently. One of the key stages is to check all documents.

TAPU and Iskan: why check them?

TAPU is the main document confirming the ownership of real estate in Turkey. It contains information about the owner and the characteristics of the property, such as location and area.

Iskan indicates that the building complies with building regulations and is ready for use. Its presence is necessary for the connection of public utilities.

How to check the documents:

• Check the name of the owner with the data in the TAPU.
• Check that there are no encumbrances (e.g. mortgages or liens) in the document.
• Check that the TAPU is registered with the state cadastre.
• Lack of Iskan can create problems in the future, including difficulties in selling or using the property.

Legal support and agency assistance

Role of the lawyer:

• Checks the history of the property and the legality of the transaction.
• Makes sure there are no legal claims or other problems related to the property.
• Drafts and finalizes the purchase and sale agreement.
• What a real estate agency does:
• Analyzes documents and negotiates with the seller.
• Ensures the legal integrity of the transaction.
• Provides assistance with language barriers.

Check debts and taxes

Before buying, make sure the property is debt-free. This applies both to the payment of taxes and the absence of encumbrances (pledge or seizure).

Contact the cadastre

Get a copy of the cadastral plan to reconcile the data with the seller. A specialist at the cadastre will confirm that the property has no hidden restrictions or third party rights.

Powers of attorney and purchase through intermediaries

If the purchase is carried out through a representative, the power of attorney must be notarized. It is important to carefully study the document to make sure that the representative's powers are executed correctly.
