Property Title Deed Registration in Turkey (TAPU) – Adalya Homes

Purchasing property in Turkey requires official ownership registration, known as the TAPU (Title Deed). For foreign buyers, this process can appear complicated, but with Adalya Homes you are supported at every stage.

   Steps to Obtain a TAPU

1. Obtaining a Tax Number (Vergi Numarası)
   A Turkish tax number is required for all financial transactions. Adalya Homes assists you in applying at the tax office or online.
2. Opening a Bank Account
   A local bank account ensures secure payments. Required documents:

• Passport
• Tax number
• Proof of address (e.g., utility bill)

3. Signing the Preliminary Sales Agreement
   The buyer and seller sign a contract covering:

• Property price
• Payment plan and schedule
• Conditions of ownership transfer

4. Paying Taxes and Fees

• Property purchase tax (Tapu Harcı): ~4% of cadastral value
• Notary and registry fees (vary by region)
• Translator costs (mandatory if buyer does not speak Turkish)

5. Final TAPU Registration at the Land Registry Office
   Once taxes are paid and documents are ready, the buyer (or representative with power of attorney) completes the title deed transfer. A sworn translator must be present for non-Turkish speakers.
