Back in April we blogged about the temporary halt on the sale of Turkish property to foriegners by a Turkish Constitutional Court ruling. The ban of the title deed act named Tapu has now been lifted by a new court ruling on May 1st.
The deed system change will be effective within the next few weeks once the official gazette will publish the news. What prompted this action was a constitutional rights contrary that affected article 35 of the Tapu title deed act.
Contrary to popular belief, the issue itself had nothing to do with whether foreigners were allowed to purchase property and land in Turkey, but more so with the size of land that could be bought according to the government.
