How long does it take to complete a real estate sale and purchase transaction in Istanbul?
A standard transaction from signing the contract to obtaining the TAPU takes about 3 to 14 business days. The timing depends on document readiness, the workload of the Land Registry Office (Tapu MΓΌdΓΌrlΓΌΔΓΌ), and any encumbrances on the property. A remote transaction carried out via power of attorney can take up to 30 days.
