Real Estate Law

One of the most popular sectors for investment in Turkey, the construction sector, brings with it various legal issues. Real Estate Law is an important branch that covers many topics frequently encountered in the construction sector, such as disputes related to urban transformation cases, title deed cancellation and registration lawsuits, lease disputes, and disagreements arising from construction contracts in exchange for land shares. With the growth of the sector, the need for lawyers specialized in real estate law has been increasing steadily.

Many of these cases originate from the preparation and negotiation phases of construction contracts, construction contracts in exchange for land shares, or urban transformation processes. Therefore, conducting these processes under the consultancy of a real estate lawyer from the beginning helps prevent many potential legal problems. Our office, based in Istanbul, provides legal and consultancy services in the field of real estate law throughout Turkey and offers comprehensive support to protect the rights of our clients.

With the enactment of Law No. 6306 on the Transformation of Areas Under Disaster Risk, the urban transformation process has accelerated. Concepts such as risky buildings, risky areas, and reserve areas are now frequently used in daily life. These processes are quite complex for both owners and contractors, and failure to comply with the required formalities can result in invalid transactions and irreparable damages. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the parties that the urban transformation process be carried out under the guidance of an expert real estate lawyer.
