Understand your Turkish title deed


 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.

 

Should you have any questions about the information on your title deed - old or new version - please do not hesitate to contact us

Hottest topic of Alanya is about your guests

  Recently the most discussed topics related to real estate in Alanya is without doubt the amendments to the law about short time rental of privately owned property. This has led to several other discussions that are also relevant for owners of private properties that do not rent out their property. Mainly two questions are being discussed.... - When are people that are staying in my property to be considered as commercial rentals? and - Must I register my guests with the local authorities and how is that done?   On social media platforms a fierce discussion has been going on. So far most information available has been 3rd party information such as "according to.... ", "we were told that... ", "local authorities said that... " and so on. In this blog post we will take a slightly different approach. We will take a look at the actual laws and form an opinion based on what the laws and regulations say. Before we start please note this carefully: - This inform...

Good advice when issuing a power of attorney

Good advice when issuing a power of attorney This is usually worth considering when buying or selling real estate or when you are in need of an accountant or a lawyer. Quite often, it can be useful and time-saving to issue a power of attorney to a third party, who can then act on your behalf. The process itself is simple and fast, and alone in and around Alanya there are almost ten different notary offices to choose from. These are the most important issues to remember when issuing a power of attorney: Only issue powers of attorney to persons that you trust and that you know who they are. Make sure that the power of attorney is specific and for your exact purpose only. When selling your property via power of attorney, the exact registration and location must be specified. When selling a car, the licence plate and registration must be specified and so on. If it serves a purpose, consider making a time-limited power of attorney. Use a professional translator whom you unde...

Size of a Turkish squaremeter

  This time, we will examine something that should seem quite simple: the size of a square meter. First, let's see what Wikipedia has to say on the subject: The square meter is a unit of area. It is defined as the area of a square whose sides measure exactly one meter. For those particularly interested in the subject, it is worth noting that one square meter equals 0.000001 square kilometers or 10,000 square centimeters. One question Wikipedia does not answer is the size of a Turkish square meter. Experience has taught us that one European square meter and one Turkish square meter are not equal. This is most obvious when we receive the floor plans for the units we promote. These are often quite exaggerated, and we often see 2-bedroom apartments listed as 150 square meters. However, visiting the apartment in question often reveals a different story. In other words, the 150-square-meter apartment turns out to be just 100 square meters. The main reasons for this are: - In Turkey, info...
