TITLE DEED

According to the Turkish laws and regulations in force, transfer of ownership of a property is only possible at the Land Registry Directorates (TAPU DAIRESI). A Title deed in Turkey is called a Tapu. Each deed includes information such as the owner's name and property details.

There are two types of deeds in Turkey; one is the land deed and the other is the proper title deed which you can obtain once you have your habitation certificate. The blue clour is for land and the redtitle deed (tapu) is for residential property.

To be legal, a title deed in Turkey must be sealed with a stamp, bottom right of the document. Photos, although not compulsory feature on the top right-hand side.

Note: More than one person can own the same property. In this case, the respective shares are to be shown in the tapu.

Vision estate agency can help you obtain your tapu within 3 days.

HABITATION LICENCE

The habitation license is one of the most important documents when you buy a property in Turkey. It proves that the builder has completed the building according to the construction plans and he has fulfilled all the required legal and safety procedures. Obtaining the habitation certificate is very complicated and time-consuming, therefore prospective buyers should always consider possible challenges before buying a property without a habitation certificate. Habitation certificates are issued by local municipalities and it is the builder's responsibility to obtain them, and present it to you before you purchase.

 

VALUATION REPORT

When you have chosen a property we will make an application to obtain a valuation report. This will take two days to get. The report will show the market value of the property, and compare it to the other properties in the area. This report will protect your investment and you will know the local property market.

  • Discuss with you the ‘preliminary approval’ roughly 3 days after the application. Redemption dates vary between 24 and 60 months.

  • Organise the bank’s appraiser, who will write an appraisal report, to visit the property.

  • Help you obtain all the documentation necessary before applying for the mortgage.

  • Prepare the paperwork in accordance with the application process.

  • Organise for the payment of the appraisal report fee.

  • Oversee the title deed conveyance process.

Some agents work this way, and they add an extra amount to the price of the property. A trustworthy agent always works to benefit its clients, and negotiate the best possible deal possible.
