Real Estate & Property Law and Consultancy Services

Real estate law is the sub-branch of property law with the most comprehensive and highest economic value. Transactions such as sales/purchases, leasing, construction, and the establishment of real rights related to immovable property involve complex legal processes and formal requirements. Our Adıyaman-based law firm provides reliable legal support to its clients in all kinds of disputes related to land, residential, and commercial real estate, acting with the principle of the sanctity of the right to property. It is essential to work with a team proficient in land registry and cadastre processes for the security of your investments and the protection of your rights.

Title Deed Cancellation and Registration Lawsuits

In cases where the title deed records do not reflect the truth due to irregularities in the registration of property rights, inheritance abduction (collusion), abuse of power of attorney, or cadastre errors, a title deed cancellation and registration lawsuit must be filed. Our firm meticulously manages the litigation process so that the unfair registration is corrected and the real right holder attains their title deed by examining the title deed records in detail, including historical registry logs and cadastre maps.

Lease Law and Eviction Cases

Disputes between the tenant and the lessor are among the most common problems today. We provide services to both landlord and tenant clients in the preparation of lease agreements, rent determination cases, and eviction cases due to need, default, or two justified warnings. We manage mediation and litigation processes especially in rent increase disputes that arose after the 25% limit, ensuring that both commercial and residential lease rights are protected according to the Turkish Code of Obligations.

Construction Contracts in Return for Land Share

Construction contracts in return for land share made between land owners and contractors involve great economic risks. We provide consultancy on the preparation of the contract before a notary public to include technical details, and the implementation of penal clauses in cases such as failure to deliver the construction on time, incomplete or defective performance. We also follow the risky structure detection and contract processes within the scope of urban transformation (Kentsel Dönüşüm), ensuring land owners are not victimized by unfair contracts.

Dissolution of Partnership (İzaleyi Şuyu)

Dissolution of partnership lawsuits filed to terminate the partnership on immovable properties inherited or subject to joint ownership result in the division of the immovable property as is or by converting it into money through sale. Our firm ensures that the immovable property is sold at its real value and the shares are distributed fairly by protecting the rights of its clients during the sale process, preventing 'forced sales' at undervalued prices.

Property Acquisition and Citizenship for Foreigners

We offer legal consultancy in the processes of immovable property acquisition by foreign nationals in Turkey, military forbidden zones control, and the preparation of valuation reports. We provide 'turnkey' services in the selection of the immovable property, obtaining the certificate of conformity from the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, and following up the citizenship application before the General Directorate of Population and Citizenship, especially in the process of acquiring Turkish Citizenship through a real estate investment worth 400,000 USD. This includes managing the 'no resale for 3 years' annotations and all land registry annotations.

Real Estate Investment Funds (REIFs) and REITs

In addition to individual investments, we also provide legal consultancy on capital market instruments such as Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Real Estate Investment Funds (REIFs). We guide investors in the financing of large-scale projects, legal risk analysis (due diligence), and the drafting of investment agreements. REIFs provide a tax-efficient way for institutional and high-net-worth individuals to invest in the Turkish real estate market, and we ensure full compliance with CMB (SPK) regulations.

Mortgage and Lien Law

We manage the processes of establishing a mortgage on immovable property as loan collateral, the release (discharge) of the mortgage, and the conversion of the mortgage into money (foreclosure) in case of non-payment of the debt. We defend the rights of our clients in mortgage disputes with banks and in allegations of unfair mortgage establishment or 'usurious' interest rates.

Zoning Amnesty and Building Registration Certificate

Within the scope of the Zoning Amnesty (İmar Barışı) regulations brought for structures built contrary to the legislation or not complying with the zoning plan, we provide legal support in obtaining the Building Registration Certificate, the lawsuits to be filed in case the certificate is cancelled, and the suspension of demolition decisions. We also handle cases related to the conversion of these certificates into final occupancy permits (iskan).

Timeshares and Vacation Rental Contracts

In the sales of timeshares (devremülk) and vacation rentals where consumers frequently experience victimization, we provide services with our experienced staff in the exercise of the right of withdrawal from the contract, the refund of the price paid, and title deed cancellation lawsuits. We stand by the consumer against contracts signed with aggressive sales methods and ensure that the 'pre-paid long-term vacation' rights are legally enforceable.

De Facto Occupation Without Expropriation and Prevention of Intervention

In case of unfair intervention of the administration or third parties to your immovable property, we protect your right of ownership with prevention of intervention (prevention of trespass) and ecrimisil (unfair occupation compensation) lawsuits. We also seek your compensation rights for your lands allocated for public service in zoning plans but not expropriated for long periods, which constitutes a violation of the right to property.

Agricultural Land Law and Foreign Ownership Restrictions

Acquiring agricultural land (tarıma elverişli arazi) in Turkey is subject to specific restrictions for foreigners, including the 'project commitment' requirement. We assist clients in preparing agricultural projects that must be submitted to the Ministry of Agriculture within two years of acquisition and manage the process of merging or splitting agricultural parcels (ifraz and tevhit).

Cultural and Natural Heritage (SIT Areas)

Properties located within protected areas (SIT alanları) such as archaeological or natural sites are subject to strict construction restrictions. We represent owners in challenging SIT declarations before the Council of Monuments and file lawsuits for the cancellation of these decisions or seeking compensation for the 'sterilization' of the property's economic value.

Forestry Law and Property Disputes

The determination of forest boundaries often leads to the cancellation of private title deeds without compensation. We file lawsuits for the compensation of these 'lost' properties based on the decisions of the Constitutional Court and the ECHR, ensuring that citizens are not penalized for the state's historical cadastre errors.

Condominium Law and Management Disputes

We provide legal advice on the management of apartment complexes and sites (site yönetimi), including the collection of dues (aidat), challenging decisions of the board of floor owners, and disputes arising from common areas. We represent owners or management boards in ensuring compliance with the Condominium Law (Kat Mülkiyeti Kanunu).

In conclusion; as a real estate lawyer, we ensure the legal security of your immovable properties, protect their value, and produce permanent Support to your ownership problems. From the smallest apartment to the largest industrial plot, your property is safe under our legal protection.
