Buying land in Turkey: start with permitted use

Land's value to you depends on what you can do with it, not only its size. Before comparing prices, investigate registration, planning, restrictions and access. An advertisement calling a plot “suitable for development” does not establish that your proposed project is permitted.

Practical steps

1. Define the intended use in writing and discuss it with a local planning specialist
2. Obtain current documents from relevant authorities instead of relying on old copies
3. Combine land, investigation and infrastructure costs before assessing project feasibility

General guidance. Consult qualified professionals on legal, financial and technical matters specific to your transaction.
