Real Estate Purchase & Due Diligence in Turkey

Turkey’s real estate market is thriving, with over 67,000 properties sold to foreigners in 2022. Yet, issues like unclear TAPU (title deed) status, unreliable developers, or undisclosed liabilities can complicate transactions. Our comprehensive due diligence services identify risks before you commit, ensuring a safe and profitable purchase.
