Understanding the Title Deed (Tapu) Transfer Process
Hello everyone. I'm about to finalize a property purchase in Bodrum and would like to understand what actually happens during the final title deed (Tapu) transfer appointment at the land registry office. What should I expect during this process?

Hello! The Tapu transfer is the final step where ownership is officially changed. Both buyer and seller (or their legal representatives) must be present. The land registry officer will review all documents, including the passport translations and military clearance (if applicable). You'll both sign the new Tapu deed, and then you'll make the payment to the seller, typically via a bank receipt shown at the office. The whole appointment usually takes 1-2 hours. It's a very structured and secure process. For a detailed checklist of required documents, I found the guide on Yektahomes to be incredibly helpful.
