The items include a round pen holder, a label adhesive, a ruler, red tape, an eraser, a small notebook, a pen, and a small white book.

OBTAINING TITLE DEED IN TURKEY

The image displays a sample Turkish title deed document, known as ‘Tapu.’ The text ‘Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Tapu Senedi’ is prominently written at the top. The form is blank, showing only the section headers where personal information would be entered. On the left side, there is a decorative red border with intricate patterns. At the top right, beneath the main title, is a designated photo box for attaching a picture. The layout provides a clear example of the document’s structure.

The Turkish Title Deed, also known as “Tapu,” is the official document certifying property ownership in Turkey. It contains detailed information about the property and its owner, serving as definitive proof of ownership. The process of issuing the Tapu is managed by the General Directorate of Land Register and Cadastre (TKGM), with offices in every city across Turkey.

 

What is a Tapu?

 

There are two main types of title deeds in Turkey, indicating the nature and ownership of the property:

 

1. Red Tapu (Kat Mülkiyeti/Kat İrtifakı):

• Kat İrtifakı (Construction Servitude): Indicates the property is still under construction.

• Kat Mülkiyeti (Full Ownership): Issued once the construction is complete and approved by local authorities.

 

2. Blue Tapu:

• Issued for agricultural land or properties outside urban planning zones.
