Why check the title record before buying property in Türkiye?

A property listing and its title record provide different information. The record may reveal matters affecting the property as well as ownership. The purchase price is therefore only part of the picture.

These explanations provide general information and do not replace an assessment of individual circumstances.

Short questions

Which entries may matter?

Mortgages, attachments and annotations may affect an assessment. Each entry has its own meaning and possible effect on a transaction; the presence of an entry does not always have the same consequence.

Is an older title document enough?

An older document can be a useful starting point, but should not be assumed to reflect the current record. The property identity, ownership details and current entries are considered together.

What helps if I live abroad?

The address, available title details, draft agreement and correspondence can help establish the context. A short initial description is sufficient; sensitive documents can be discussed later.
