A title deed (TAPU) is a document that establishes and protects property rights. Displays the location, size, type, and name of the property owner.
The appraisal report is protection against exaggerated real estate prices. When one buys a property, the Land Registry requests the valuation report validated by the SPK as a proof document that the purchase was made at the correct price. The addressee is the direct real estate appraisal department of the Land Registry Administration. The process takes 3 to 6 days.
If you are buying a property in a new project, the price will be set by the project management. Regardless of agent commissions, you still have to pay the same price with whoever you buy through, whether you go direct or through a third party.
Generally, it takes one day after submitting the application to the General Directorate of Land Registry with all the required documents. Sometimes, depending on the intensity of work in the title deed offices, it may be a day or two late.
In Turkey, real estate agent fees are determined by laws. When selling a property, registered and licensed real estate agents are entitled to a 2% service fee from the buyer and seller separately on the actual sale price of the property.
