Title Deed Support in Turkey
From the property checks to the registration of ownership.
The Tapu is the official title deed recording a property and its registered owner in Turkey. ALV Homes coordinates the documents, checks and appointments involved in the transfer, with lawyers, the notary and the relevant authorities.
Before the Transfer
Ownership and records
We coordinate checks on the owner, property details and any restrictions or encumbrances before the purchase.
Type of registration
We clarify with the legal professionals whether the record concerns land, construction easement rights known as Kat İrtifakı, or condominium ownership known as Kat Mülkiyeti. The registered status and supporting documents matter more than the colour of a deed.
Documents
We identify the documents needed for your purchase and help organise them. These include the required identification, Turkish tax number, property documents and seller documents. Translation, notarisation, valuation and power of attorney requirements depend on the case.
Intended use
If you plan to rent out the property, we coordinate a check of whether the proposed use is permitted and which licensing requirements apply.
From purchase agreement to registration
1. We go through the proposed purchase with you and coordinate the review of the sales agreement and legal position.
2. We organise the required documents and coordinate a suitable power of attorney if a representative will act for you.
3. We coordinate the land registry appointment and clarify any outstanding requirements with the parties involved.
4. We support you through the ownership transfer at the land registry. A purchase agreement alone does not transfer ownership.
Questions about the Tapu
Why are current checks needed if the seller already has a Tapu?
The deed identifies the property and its registered ownership. The purchase also needs a current check of the ownership record and any restrictions or encumbrances affecting the transfer. We coordinate those checks with the legal professionals for the specific property.
How long does the transfer of property ownership take?
We go through the expected timetable with you and organise the documents, checks and land registry appointment. The timing depends on complete paperwork, the required checks and available appointments.
