Our View
Turkey has become a prominent destination for real estate investment, driven by its strategic location, young population, expanding urban infrastructure, and relatively liberal property ownership regulations. The country’s real estate sector spans a wide range of asset classes, including residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed-use developments, making it attractive for both domestic and international investors.
The real estate law and its legal framework in Turkey covers areas such as title deed registration, zoning and planning permissions, environmental compliance, and foreign ownership restrictions. Understanding and navigating this legal framework is essential to ensure that property transactions are legally sound and commercially viable.
