In Turkey, the title deed of a property is called "tapu senedi" or simply "tapu."
When purchasing a property, this is the most important document since it proves the ownership of the property.
We also want to point out very clearly that the printed version of the deed does not hold any other value than the paper it has been published on.
So the printed version of the title deed is more considered a diploma.
Even if someone you do not trust gets hold of the printed version of your title deed, you don't have to worry.
Recently the layout of the printed title deed has changed, and in this blog post, we will talk about these changes.
First of all, a QR code has been introduced. By scanning it, you can access the location and features of the property on a map.
Also, biometric photographs are now used on title deeds.
Let's go over the five sections of the new deed to make everything easier to understand.
1: Plot information
In this section, the location information of the property, such as province, district, neighborhood, and land register numbers, is located on the title deed.
2: Photograph
The section where the biometric photo of the deed owner will be added
3: Property information
Information such as the type of the real estate, sharing of the common areas, land size, floor number and apartment number, and other reference numbers.
4: Owner Section
Here you have information about owners and their shares.5: Registration information
In the final section, you will find the QR code, internal registration of the land registry office, stamps, signatures from the land registry office, and the official sales price.
