Property is the largest investment in most people's lives. Its security depends heavily on the type of title deed and how the purchase process is handled.
Condominium Ownership (Kat Mülkiyeti)
The safest deed type, where the building is complete and independent units are individually registered.
Construction Servitude (Kat İrtifakı)
Established for buildings still under construction; it must be converted to condominium ownership once complete.
Sole Title (Müstakil)
The property has a single owner and no shared-ownership issues; the smoothest type to trade.
Shared Title (Hisseli)
Multiple owners share the property. It can be cheaper, but the status of other shareholders matters for sale and use; always review with an expert.
Safe Purchase Steps
Check the deed record and any liens, confirm the seller is the true owner, pay the deposit in writing via bank, verify property tax clearance and mandatory earthquake insurance, and budget all costs in advance.
