Constitutional Court brake on the sale price in shared title deeds: 9-month period has begun

Turkey’s Constitutional Court (AYM) struck down a statutory change that had set the sale price in pre-emption lawsuits over jointly owned real estate at appraised market value, with the ruling taking effect in nine months. The decision also invalidates the transitional provision that applied the contested valuation rule to cases already filed. The court’s move matters because it restores the prior pricing basis for pre-emption claims in shared-title property, altering how co-owners can buy out a seller’s stake. Watch for parliament to pass replacement legislation before the nine-month window closes and for courts to clarify how pending cases will be handled once the ruling takes effect.
