Safer Property Transactions in Türkiye: Secure Payment System Starts May 1, 2026
Starting May 1, 2026, Turkey will introduce a Secure Payment System for real estate transactions, designed to protect both buyers and sellers. The system ensures that the payment is held securely and only transferred to the seller after the title deed (Tapu) transfer is successfully completed. This new regulation will increase transparency, prevent fraud, and make buying property in Turkey safer—especially for international investors.
