Owner Services / Legalisation & Iskan
Legalisation & title upgrade for foreign property owners
Independent feasibility checks and coordination to move your Turkish property towards a clean, marketable title – including iskan review and upgrades from construction status or kat irtifakı to full kat mülkiyeti, where realistically possible.
- Iskan feasibility and municipality rules explained in simple English.
- TAPU structure, annotations and risks reviewed before you commit.
- Step-by-step map of the legalisation path, documents and stakeholders.
- Remote coordination with local professionals and clear go / no-go advice.
What is included in Legalisation & Title Upgrade?
A structured way to understand what is realistically possible for your property, before you spend money or promise buyers a clean title.
Title & annotation mapping
Analysing TAPU type, kat irtifakı / kat mülkiyeti, independent sections, shared areas and key annotations that affect value and saleability.
Step-by-step legalisation path
Outlining the likely steps, required documents, municipal visits and approvals needed to improve the legal status – or to confirm it cannot be improved.
Local professional coordination
Working with surveyors, engineers, building management and lawyers where necessary. You sign key documents directly or via notarised Power of Attorney.
Simple English reporting
Short written summaries explaining your current status, main risks and recommended options – not 30 pages of untranslated technical jargon.
Remote coordination & updates
We keep you updated via email / WhatsApp, track deadlines and push for progress with the local parties involved.
Who is this service for?
Clear expectations keep everyone happier. Here is when Legalisation & Title Upgrade typically makes sense – and when it probably doesn’t.
A good fit if you:
- Own a Turkish property without iskan, or you are unsure if iskan exists.
- Hold a TAPU in construction status or only with kat irtifakı and want to move towards kat mülkiyeti before selling.
- Are a foreign owner living abroad and cannot attend every municipal visit.
- Want a realistic feasibility view and cost range before starting a long process.
- Prefer all explanations and summaries in clear, practical English.
Probably not a fit if you:
- Expect a guaranteed positive outcome regardless of municipal decisions.
- Want to fully legalise clearly illegal, high-risk structures (e.g. extra floors, heavy seafront extensions) with no permits at all.
- Need instant results within a few days – legalisation often takes months.
- Primarily need tax, immigration or citizenship advice rather than title work.
- Prefer to manage all lawyers, engineers and municipality interactions yourself.
Pricing snapshot
Exact pricing depends on your building, documentation and municipality, but most owners fall within the ranges below.
Typical fee structure
From €300 for feasibility, full projects quoted case-by-case
After the feasibility review we propose a project fee if a legalisation
path looks realistic and you wish to proceed.
Feasibility covers document review, a call in English and a short written summary. Project work, if you go ahead, is quoted separately based on scope, location and the number of stakeholders involved.
