A foreign owner whose building enters urban transformation has an urban transformation problem. A foreign investor affected by a zoning-plan change has a zoning problem. A buyer facing an undisclosed mortgage has a real-estate problem. These matters are handled through the relevant Turkish property, planning and construction law framework.
“My apartment in Turkey is being demolished and rebuilt.”
The relevant questions may concern urban transformation, ownership, contractor terms, project documents and the owner’s rights during redevelopment.
“The zoning plan affecting my land has changed.”
The issue may involve planning status, development rights, administrative decisions and the legal consequences of a plan amendment.
“I want to know what I am actually buying.”
The work may require title deed due diligence, permit review, contract analysis and verification of the property before payment.
