TAPU – The Title Deed for Property in Turkey

What is TAPU in Turkey?

TAPU is the official document that confirms property ownership in Turkey. All real estate transactions are carried out exclusively through Turkey's Land Registry Office, where ownership is transferred from the seller to the buyer.


How to Obtain TAPU in Turkey?

The process of obtaining TAPU involves several key steps:

Signing the Sale Agreement

The sale agreement must be signed by both the buyer and seller, outlining the terms of the transaction.

Property Valuation by an Independent Expert

An independent appraiser evaluates the property to determine its market value.

Payment and Document Submission

After payment is made, documents are submitted to the Land Registry Office for processing.

Currency Exchange and Bank Certificate

Funds must be exchanged into Turkish Lira, and a DAB certificate (bank certificate) is required for the transaction.

Signing the Property Transfer Act and Receiving TAPU

The property transfer is finalized by signing the property transfer act, and the buyer receives the official TAPU.
