Frequently asked questions
I have paid off my mortgage. What do I need to do to have the mortgage removed from my property?
A mortgage on a property is not automatically deleted from the title deed record when the loan is repaid. A “mortgage release” (ipotek terkini) has to be carried out. Today most banks notify the land registry electronically that the debt has been closed; once this notification is made, the mortgage is deleted without the owner having to apply separately.
If the bank does not send an electronic notification, you should obtain an official letter from the bank confirming that the debt has been paid and apply to the land registry with it. After the necessary checks, the mortgage is removed from the register.
What is “takyidat”? How do I get a copy of the title deed record, and what are the fees?
“Takyidat” refers to all records that restrict the ownership of a property, such as mortgages, attachments and annotations. A copy of the title deed record and the encumbrance information can be obtained through the Web Tapu system. A fee or revolving fund charge may apply when obtaining these documents.
What documents are needed to transfer an inheritance? How does the process work?
To register inherited property in the heirs’ names, a certificate of inheritance (veraset ilamı) must first be obtained. With this certificate and the heirs’ identity details, an application is made through the Web Tapu system.
After reviewing the application, the land registry invites the heirs to sign. Once completed, the property is registered jointly in the heirs’ names. At this stage only ownership passes to the heirs; no sale or transfer takes place.
When does a power of attorney end?
A power of attorney loses its validity in cases such as the death, disappearance, loss of capacity or bankruptcy of the grantor or the attorney, the resignation of the attorney, revocation by the grantor or the expiry of its term. Once any of these occurs, no transaction can be made under it.
