What is Land Registry Title Deed?
Property in Turkey is registered under two ownership systems. • Land Registry ownership – Property registered through land registry has Title Deeds which are recorded in the regional Land Registry Office. Property with such Title Deeds has been land surveyed as part of the planning development process of an area and the coordinates of the land mapped by and officially recorded by the Turkish Kadastro Office. • Village ownership – Large areas of Turkey have not been land surveyed by the Kadastro Office and land is owned, bought and sold under the village system of land ownership. In this system land is recorded in a village registry and transfers are overseen by the village elder and his assistants. The position of land is drawn and referred to by visual reference points and its relationship to neighbouring property.
