According to current legislation, all buildings have to be in line with the construction and earthquake-proof regulations and official plans. In this regard, you should double check whether the building has been built in line with those arrangements. In other words, you should ask the seller to provide you with the "Use of Building Permit" or "Habitation Certificate" (“Yapi Kullanma Izni” or "Oturma Izni/Ruhsati" in Turkish.) issued by the local authorities.
