One of the major real estate obstacles faced by foreign investors in Turkey were the bureaucratic hurdles for the purchase of land by Turkish firms which have foreign shareholders. The law says that firms based in Turkey and foreign-owned, may acquire ownership and other similar rights in real property in Turkey. Acquisition of real estate directly to foreign firms still remain prohibited. Foreign individuals can buy property on condition of reciprocity, with registration at the Land Registry Office, as before.

Apparently, in order to create more convenience for foreign investors, the Act makes it clear that recourse to domestic and international arbitrators and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms available to foreign investors of capital. Despite the fact that the formulation of the principle in itself encouraging, is to some extent for the benefit of foreign investors if they can convince the Turkish side of the dispute to resolve it is not Turkish, and other courts.
