How can you check whether there are any encumbrances on a property in Turkey?
Verification of encumbrances (İpotek, Haciz, İhtiyati tedbir) is carried out via the official land registry portal parselsorgu.tkgm.gov.tr using the cadastral number of the property. An extract from the registry (Tapu Kaydı) shows all registered encumbrances, mortgages, and seizures. It is recommended to perform the check 1–2 days before signing the contract.
