Why ImmobilienTR?
Our Approach
Your contact is an attorney (Avukat) registered with the Istanbul Bar and Frankfurt Bar Associations. Legal reviews are carried out within the professional rules for attorneys.
You manage all processes in Istanbul, Frankfurt and Dubai through a single advisor. No language barriers, no coordination issues.
Projects and properties in Dubai are presented by our partner Solis Properties, registered with RERA (ORN: 51128); we carry out the legal review.
As an attorney who has lived in Germany since 2017, we know the questions that people with Turkish roots living in Germany often face.
Brokerage in Dubai is carried out by Solis Properties; any commission paid by the developer belongs to Solis Properties, not to us. Our legal advice is agreed separately and in advance. Other transaction costs, such as registration fees, may also apply.
We advise in Turkish, English and German. Every client feels fully understood in their own language.
Inheritance Law
Legal Support for Inheritance Matters in Turkey
Scope of services:
- Certificate of Inheritance — Obtaining from Turkish courts and international recognition
- Property Transfer — Title deed transfer of inherited real estate
- Inheritance Disputes — Legal representation in disputes among heirs
- Will & Testament — Drafting a will in compliance with Turkish law
- Inheritance Renunciation — Protecting rights in cases of indebted estates
- Dual Nationality Planning — Inheritance planning under both German and Turkish law
For European Turks, inheritance processes in Turkey can be highly complex and time-consuming. The entire process — from certificate of inheritance to title transfer, from estate division to will contests — is handled on your behalf and in your place.
For European Turks with inheritance rights in Turkey, we offer integrated estate planning from the perspective of both Turkish and German law. Where dual nationality is involved, you receive legal guidance on which legal system applies.
With a notarially certified power of attorney, many inheritance matters can be handled without travelling to Turkey; whether and how this works in your case, we assess together.
Real Estate Law
Legal Support for Your Property in Turkey
Scope of services:
- Title Transfer & Purchase — Registration of property in the land registry and transfer procedures under attorney supervision
- Lease Agreement — Drafting and negotiating lease agreements in compliance with Turkish law
- Tenant Eviction — Eviction undertaking, eviction lawsuit and enforcement proceedings
- Rent Recovery — Payment demand and protest procedures, initiation of enforcement proceedings
- Title Cancellation & Re-Registration — Lawsuit and injunction proceedings to cancel unlawful land registry entries
- Remote Property Management — Handling all real estate transactions by power of attorney, without travelling to Turkey
- Property Threats — Legal defence in cases of expropriation, demolition, damage and theft
For Turks living in Europe, real estate transactions in Turkey can seem risky and complex. With a notarially certified power of attorney, we conduct all your transactions — buying, selling, renting and managing — on your behalf.
As a licensed attorney at the Istanbul Bar Association, we provide legal oversight for all your property transactions: land registry entries, lease agreement preparation, eviction procedures and title cancellation lawsuits.
We protect your real estate investments in Turkey — without you needing to visit Turkey.
We can handle legal matters concerning your property in Turkey for you from Germany under a power of attorney.
Dubai Advisory
The Right Move in the Dubai Market
In recent years Dubai has been one of the property markets that interest international investors. Returns, taxes and exchange rates depend on the project and your personal situation; we discuss the risks with you before you decide. We carry out the legal review as attorneys; our partner Solis Properties, registered with RERA in Dubai, presents projects and properties.
Why the Dubai Market?
Gross rental yields in Dubai are higher than those usual in Germany and Turkey for many projects; they depend on project, location and period and are not guaranteed.
The UAE levies no local income tax on rental income or sale gains. If you are tax resident in Germany or Turkey, your tax obligations there may still apply; clarify your tax situation with a tax adviser.
In Dubai, certain investments may open residency options. Requirements and amounts depend on the current rules of the authorities and may change; please confirm with the relevant authority before applying.
Dubai's strategic position in the trade corridor between Asia, Africa and Europe makes it an ideal base for establishing businesses.
With off-plan purchases the price may change by completion; appreciation is not guaranteed.
The AED is pegged to the US dollar, which reduces exchange-rate risk against the dollar.
100% foreign ownership in Dubai's Free Zone structure, low-cost incorporation, and manage your international trade from here.
In some areas prices have risen in recent years.
Transactions run through our partner Solis Properties, registered with RERA (ORN 51128), and under Dubai law. This is no guarantee of the outcome or return of an investment.
