Legal Review Before Signing a Property Sale Agreement

We Identify the Transaction First

A document's heading and commitments may not be equally clear. We assess whether it is a sale, promise, reservation, agency or other agreement and who assumes each obligation. Matching the contractual description to title and unit details is fundamental.

Article 237 of the Turkish Code of Obligations requires official form for property sales and promises. A privately signed text is not treated as transferring ownership merely because it is titled sale agreement. Its nature and possible effects require specific examination.

We Connect Payment, Delivery and Document Obligations

We read who is paid, when and for what. We examine the treatment of deposits, reservation fees or advance payments if the transaction stops. A recipient different from the contracting party or another person's account raises questions to clarify.

The meaning of delivery, documents to supply and conditions for title transfer also matter. A single date does not explain every consequence of delay; notices, additional periods and rights must be read together.

Which Clauses Receive Particular Attention?

We do not isolate a clause from the rest. We examine how penalties, repayment and termination work with payment, delivery and notices. We expose ambiguity or contradiction through questions and proposed amendments.

• Parties, signatures and authority
• Property description and promised features
• Payment timetable, additional sums and allocation of expenses
• Delivery, incomplete work and document requirements
• Delay, penalties, termination and repayment
• Notification, dispute and amendment provisions

Signed Agreements Can Also Be Reviewed

After signing, the issue is more than drafting a better text. Performance, correspondence, payments and potential breaches matter. We clearly distinguish pre-transaction draft review from assessment of existing circumstances.

In a dispute, we can consider records before a notice, termination or new payment. The route depends on transaction, parties, events and evidence. We do not promise repayment or damages without seeing documents.

What Do We Provide and What Can You Prepare?

We can identify key provisions, missing information and changes to discuss in writing. A revised draft for the other party or negotiation support is scoped separately. We do not assume a seller's or another party's text fully protects you.

Retain every draft page, annex, payment plan, title details and correspondence. State any signature or payment deadline initially. After suitability assessment, we notify document scope, fee and timetable in writing; an enquiry alone does not engage deadline monitoring.
