Due diligence on title
Legal transfer of ownership

Tax regime
Residency-linked programs

Why the split matters

Where buyers actually get tripped up

The general shape of buying property abroad — due diligence on title, legal transfer, registration with a national authority — genuinely is similar across Mediterranean countries. Where buyers run into trouble is assuming the country-specific pieces work the same way too: foreign-buyer eligibility rules, the tax regime, and whether ownership is linked to any residency program differ meaningfully from one country to the next.

Why this matters in practice

A due diligence process learned in one Mediterranean country doesn't transfer directly to another — the common steps are a starting checklist, not the full picture.
For Turkey specifically, see the country-specific buying process and foreign-buyer eligibility rules.
