Below, we’ve outlined the extensive legal services we offer to support property transactions and investment processes in İzmir.

1. Property Title Deed Verification and Legal Status Check

One of the first and most important steps in any real estate transaction is verifying the property title deed (Tapu). Before proceeding with any purchase, we conduct a thorough examination of the title deed to ensure that the property is legally clear of any encumbrances, such as mortgages, liens, or ownership disputes. This check also ensures the property has the appropriate zoning status and that there are no legal restrictions on its use. If any issues are detected, we provide advice on how to proceed, safeguarding your investment.

2. Sale and Purchase Agreement Drafting

Our legal team specializes in drafting and reviewing sale and purchase agreements that are legally binding and protect the buyer’s rights. We ensure that the contract covers all necessary details, including the price, payment structure, timelines, and any special conditions agreed upon by both parties. We also ensure that the contract complies with Turkish real estate laws and includes provisions to resolve any potential disputes. Our goal is to create an agreement that reflects your best interests and minimizes risk.

3. Real Estate Due Diligence Services

Before finalizing a property purchase in İzmir, it is essential to perform comprehensive due diligence. We help you verify essential information such as the property's legal status, ownership history, land registry details, and any zoning or environmental restrictions.

Whether you're purchasing commercial property, land for development, or residential real estate, our due diligence service will help ensure a smooth and secure transaction.

4. Taxation and Financial Consultation

Understanding the tax implications of buying property in Turkey is critical for any investor. We offer in-depth consultation on property tax, VAT, stamp duty, and capital gains tax, ensuring that you are fully informed about your tax obligations. We also provide advice on how to optimize your tax situation in Turkey and ensure that your property investment is financially viable. Additionally, we help you understand how tax laws impact foreign investors and how to plan for future tax payments related to real estate ownership in Turkey.

5. Assistance with Obtaining Turkish Citizenship by Investment

For those looking to obtain Turkish citizenship through property investment, we guide you through the Citizenship by Investment Program. If you purchase property valued at $400,000 or more, you may be eligible for Turkish citizenship.
