Tapu - certificate of ownership
Tapu is the main document when buying an apartment or villa in Turkey. It confirms ownership rights. Checking Tapu guarantees that the property belongs to the seller and is free from disputes.
İskân belgesi - commissioning permit
İskân confirms that the building has been constructed in accordance with regulations and has been commissioned. Without İskân, problems may arise with connecting water and electricity and with future sales.
Kat irtifakı and Kat mülkiyeti
• Kat irtifakı - right to a property under construction.
• Kat mülkiyeti - full ownership of a completed property in Turkey.
The difference in status directly affects the buyer's rights.
Checking for debts and restrictions
A mandatory step is to check whether there are any debts, seizures, or encumbrances on the property. This is done through the cadastre and protects against hidden risks.
Legal verification of real estate in Turkey is the basis for a safe transaction. It includes: Tapu, İskân, property status, absence of debts, and reliability of the developer.
A reliable developer is a guarantee of quality. It is necessary to check the company's licenses, past projects, and reputation.
