It involves high financial value and, given its legal consequences, demands careful handling. In locations with an active property market such as the Fethiye region, the legal checks carried out before a transfer are of critical importance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-sm font-semibold text-[#1A3B23] mb-1\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1. Legal Review Before the Transaction<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Because the land registry (tapu sicili) is public, a detailed review of the property must be carried out before the transfer. At this stage the following must be examined carefully:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-disc pl-4 mb-2 space-y-1\">\n<li class=\"text-sm\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong class=\"font-semibold text-[#1A3B23]\">Encumbrance search (takyidat):<\/strong> whether any restriction has been established in favour of third parties, such as a mortgage, an attachment, a usufruct right or an interim injunction,<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"text-sm\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong class=\"font-semibold text-[#1A3B23]\">Zoning and building control status:<\/strong> the position of the property in the zoning plan, the status of its occupancy permit (iskan) and whether the property conforms to the approved project,<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"text-sm\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong class=\"font-semibold text-[#1A3B23]\">Consistency between the factual and the registered situation:<\/strong> whether the information in the land register record matches the actual use of the property. Otherwise, in disputes arising from zoning issues after the transfer, liability may fall on the buyer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"text-sm font-semibold text-[#1A3B23] mb-1\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2. Procedures Before the Land Registry Office<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Title deed transfers are initiated by taking an appointment through the &#8220;Web Tapu&#8221; system at the relevant Land Registry Office (Tapu Sicil M\u00fcd\u00fcrl\u00fc\u011f\u00fc). The file is completed once the parties have declared their intention and the required legal documents have been submitted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-sm font-semibold text-[#1A3B23] mb-1\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">3. Minimum Legal Documents<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Submitting the following documents is a legal requirement for the file to be completed:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-disc pl-4 mb-2 space-y-1\">\n<li class=\"text-sm\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong class=\"font-semibold text-[#1A3B23]\">Identity documents of the parties<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"text-sm\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong class=\"font-semibold text-[#1A3B23]\">Compulsory Earthquake Insurance (DASK)<\/strong>,<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"text-sm\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong class=\"font-semibold text-[#1A3B23]\">For foreign nationals:<\/strong> a tax identification number, a Foreign Currency Purchase Document (DAB) and, as required by law, a declaration of intent made in the presence of a sworn translator.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"text-sm font-semibold text-[#1A3B23] mb-1\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">4. Financial Obligations (2026 Period)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In transfers of immovable property, the title deed fee calculated on the transaction value under the Fees Act no. 492, the revolving fund fee and other related taxes must be paid. Although in practice the fee is usually paid by the buyer, it should not be forgotten that in law the parties are liable for it in equal shares.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-sm font-semibold text-[#1A3B23] mb-1\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">5. Transaction Security: Secure Payment System at the Land Registry (TG\u00d6S)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To minimise the risks arising from the time gap between the transfer of ownership and the payment of the price, the &#8220;Secure Payment System at the Land Registry&#8221; (TG\u00d6S), offered by the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre, should be preferred. This system holds the price in a blocked account and releases it to the seller at the moment of transfer, which makes it the safest legal method.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-sm font-semibold text-[#1A3B23] mb-1\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">6. Legal Risks and Disputes<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The main risks encountered in property transfers are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-disc pl-4 mb-2 space-y-1\">\n<li class=\"text-sm\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Carrying out an incomplete or incorrect preliminary review,<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"text-sm\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Overlooking unpermitted construction or breaches of zoning legislation,<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"text-sm\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Failing to check the scope of the authority granted in transactions carried out under a power of attorney,<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"text-sm\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Declaring the sale price in the land register below its real value (this creates tax and penalty risk).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Fraud schemes known in T\u00fcrkiye as &#8220;sazan sarmal\u0131&#8221;, in which the buyer is manipulated into an inflated payment<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"text-sm font-semibold text-[#1A3B23] mb-1\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">7. The Importance of Legal Advice<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Property law sits at the intersection of technical, administrative and civil law rules. Particularly in high-value sales, in transactions involving a foreign element or in properties carrying zoning risk, proceeding under the legal supervision of a lawyer is a necessary measure for the soundness of the process and for avoiding a possible loss of rights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong class=\"font-semibold text-[#1A3B23]\">Av. \u015e\u00fckr\u00fc K\u00f6se provides full legal services in title deed procedures.
