Pay attention to the type and color of the title deed when purchasing real estate

When purchasing real estate, not only the price and location but also the type and color of the title deed are of great importance.

In Turkey, the most common types of title deeds are known as red and blue deeds. These deeds directly reflect the ownership status and zoning characteristics of the property, playing a critical role in the buying and selling process.

Red title deeds are issued for independent units such as residences and workplaces and can be in two different forms: Floor easement (kat irtifakı) indicates that the building is still in the construction phase and provides a temporary status. Floor ownership (kat mülkiyeti) indicates that the building is completed and generally that an occupancy permit has been obtained. Blue title deeds are valid only for plots of land, and the fact that a structure has been built does not cause this property to lose its blue title deed status.

When buying real estate, the type and color of the title deed must be carefully examined. The type of title deed directly affects the legal status of the property and the rights granted to the buyer. Experts emphasize that transactions should not be carried out without clearly learning the type of title deed. Otherwise, various legal and financial obligations may be encountered in the future.

Some important steps to consider during the investment process are as follows:

The type and content of the title deed should be carefully examined, and verification should be made at the Land Registry Office. For title deeds with floor easement, it should be checked whether an occupancy permit has been obtained for the building. For properties with blue title deeds, the licensing status of the structures should be queried. It must be checked whether there is a mortgage, lien, or annotation on the title deed record. Since the color of the title deed reflects the legal nature of the property, it should be analyzed by obtaining expert support when necessary.
