Who we are

Turkey Property Desk is written by a sworn translation office in Gaziantep. We translate the documents a foreign buyer needs, arrange notary certification and help with interpreting at the land registry. We do not sell property and we do not take commissions from agents or developers, so these guides have no sales angle.
