What is a Title Deed and Why is it Important?

A title deed is a document issued by the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre that officially indicates the owner of a real estate (house, land, apartment, etc.).

The most critical stage for anyone investing in real estate in Alanya is the correct and secure transfer of the title deed.

️ 1. Preparations Before Title Deed Transactions
Before real estate purchase and sale transactions begin:
✅ The property’s title deed is checked for restrictions such as mortgages, seizures, and annotations.
✅ A market value certificate is obtained from the municipality.
✅ Compulsory earthquake insurance (DASK) is made.

2. Required Documents
For the Seller:

Original title deed

ID document

Power of attorney (if any)

For the Buyer:

ID document or passport

Tax number (for foreigners)

2 biometric photos

DASK policy

Title deed fee (4% – can be shared between buyer and seller)

3. Transaction Process at Land Registry Offices
The transaction is started by making an appointment through the Alanya Land Registry Office.

The documents are delivered and the purchase-sale approval is given by the Land Registry Office.

✍️ The transfer of title deed is realized when the parties sign at the office.

At the end of the transaction, the new title deed is delivered to the buyer.

4. Title Deed Fee and Expenses
The title deed fee is 4% of the sales price.
It is usually shared between the buyer and seller as 2% + 2%.

The title deed revolving fund fee and service fee are also added (average between 1,000 – 2,000 TL)

5. Additional Processes for Foreign Buyers
For foreign investors:
✅ Title deed transactions are carried out with a sworn translator.
✅ If the real estate is not in a military prohibited area, transaction approval is given quickly.
✅ Since the military permit requirement was lifted after 2019, the process has been significantly shortened.

️ 6. Precautions to be Taken Against Fraud
Transact directly with the owner of the property or get reliable real estate consultancy.
Do not make a payment without seeing the title deed transfer.
Complete all transactions at the official land registry office.
