Information- Every investor knows the value of factually correct and accurate information – it is the first and foremost pre-requisite for a successful, profitable, and secure property or real estate investment in Turkiye (Turkey). This is a fact, but it is surprising how easy investors are misled with false, inaccurate, and incorrect information.
Advice- Providing information is not providing advice: advice requires wide and deep comprehension of multiple dimensions applicable to a wide range of scenarios appropriate for clients' personal circumstances. This requires far more specialist knowledge, training and experience, than merely giving information.

If you are frustrated by uncertainty over your tapu status, help is at hand. Complete the form below and obtain clarity on the situation. Land Registries in across Turkey are in the process of modernising, and standardising - a good thing, too, because historically they have often each done things in their own ways, and these may vary from one office to the next, in different locations. Fortunately the World Bank is currently providing the Turkish Government Land Registry Administration with technical assistance in this standardisation and modernisation process, and the experts at mytapu.com have participated in this technical assistance over the last 20 years, and are experienced and knowledgeable, having advised more than 3,000 foreign clients investing in property in Turkey. Relying on hearsay and second hand information from on-line forums and the like, is not the prudent way to rest your concerns.
