The Title Deed in Türkiye

The title deed (Tapu) is considered one of the most important supporting documents in the real estate field and it is considered one of the most important factors that determine the market value of the property. This document plays a key role in shaping the investment future of the property to be invested in.

Types of Title Deeds in Türkiye

In Türkiye, five basic types of real estate title deeds are found, and they are distributed between agricultural or commercial lands, apartments, and other estates under construction. In the following list, we will get to know them all and show the most important differences between them:

1. Agricultural Title Deed: Granted to each land that is not intended for housing or has not obtained a building permit.
2. Residential Title Deed: Granted for an integrated building that is considered one residential block and granted for old buildings, stand-alone villas, factories, and warehouses.
3. Estate Easement Deed: Granted to the owner before the end of construction during the planning stage of a residential or commercial building, drawing plans and dividing the building into several parts and floors.
4. Floor Easement: Granted after the completion of the project and obtaining the housing license, which makes it a real estate prepared for use according to the standard criteria issued by the municipality. This tapu means that the owner of the deed is the owner of a specific part that is determined by the location and the floor height in an integrated manner without being part of the floor ownership, and this tapu is also the strongest type among title documents.
5. Transitional Title Deeds (Participation Deed): Granted to people investing in tourist real estate that gives its owners the right to use the property for specific periods of the year in partnership with several other owners.
6. The Real Estate Easement Deed: According to which, the property is divided among several owners according to agreed shares, and the percentage is recorded next to the name of each owner, and each owner is entitled to obtain his/her own title deed.
