Editorial Principles
Trust is the only thing we have to offer. These are the principles we hold ourselves to.
TR Property Office exists to help international buyers make better decisions about property in Türkiye. Trust is the only thing we have to offer, and these are the principles we hold ourselves to.
What we will not do
No developer, agent, or service provider can pay us to rank higher, appear in featured positions, or receive a more favorable review.
When a partnership exists, it is clearly labeled. We use the words “partner developer” or “sponsored” — never softer terms designed to confuse.
Until we have verified, consenting buyers to share their stories, we publish no buyer stories. We would rather be transparent about being new than fabricate a history we don't have.
Our role is to inform, not to sell. If a project is unsuitable for you, we say so. If a location is wrong for your situation, we say so. If you should wait, rent, or buy elsewhere, we say so.
What we will do
Every page reflects independent research, not promotional copy from developers. Where data comes from a specific source — title registry, licence, official statistics — we cite it.
Property prices, regulations, and developer standards shift. We review project guides quarterly and update location information as relevant changes occur. Pages display their last review date.
AI assists our research, drafting, and translation work. Every published page is reviewed by a human editor before it goes live. Title and legal claims are checked against authoritative sources.
Buying abroad is complex. When the evidence is unclear, we say so. When project-level variation is wide, we say so. We do not pretend to certainty we don't have.
If you find an error, write to us and we will fix it. If you have a different perspective on a project, location, or developer, we want to hear it. Editorial corrections are logged and dated.
How we choose what to cover
We prioritize coverage where international buyers face the most decision complexity: purchases with significant price variation, locations with quality variation, ownership situations that benefit from non-obvious planning.
We do not try to cover everything. A shallow guide to every project in Türkiye would help no one. A considered guide to coastal new-builds for UK buyers, or the citizenship route for Gulf families, can genuinely change someone's experience.
We expand coverage based on three signals: reader questions we cannot yet answer well, gaps in existing public information, and areas where our editorial perspective adds something new.
How we handle conflicts of interest
If we ever accept commercial relationships — affiliate links, partner developer referral fees, premium listings — these will be:
- Clearly labeled wherever they appear
- Disclosed in our About and How We Select Developers pages
- Subject to the same editorial standards as unpaid coverage
Editorial independence is non-negotiable. A commercial relationship cannot purchase a positive review.
