The Definitive Record of Ownership
A Land Registry Extract (Tapu Kaydı or Tapu Senedi) is the most authoritative document regarding real estate ownership, encumbrances, and legal descriptions of a property. Whether you are an international investor purchasing property in Turkey, a bank processing a cross-border mortgage, or an individual proving asset ownership for a visa application, the translation of this document is a high-stakes requirement.
In the real estate sector, a mistranslated “Lien” (Haciz), “Annotation” (Şerh), or “Easement” (İrtifak Hakkı) can lead to disastrous financial consequences or the collapse of a property sale. Translating a land registry extract requires a specialized mastery of Property Law, Cadastral Terminology, and Real Estate Finance.
As Aspendos Tercüme ve Danışmanlık Hizmetleri A.Ş., with over 15 years of experience and holding ISO 17100 and ISO 9001 certifications, we ensure your property rights are accurately represented in any language.
Legal Precision and Asset Security: Our Process
Land registry documents are often filled with abbreviations, historical legal terms, and complex numerical data. Our process ensures zero-error accuracy:
Real Estate & Legal Specialists: Your extract is handled by a Sworn Translator with expertise in property law. They understand the nuances between “Full Ownership” (Tam Mülkiyet), “Shared Ownership” (Hisseli Taşınmaz), and “Condominium” (Kat Mülkiyeti).
ISO 17100:2015 Quality Standards:
- Data Integrity Audit: Meticulous cross-checking of plot numbers (Ada), parcel numbers (Parsel), square meterage, and registration volume/page numbers.
- Annotation Accuracy: We pay special attention to the “Remarks” or “Annotations” section, ensuring that any mortgages, court cases, or restrictive covenants are clearly and accurately translated for the buyer or lender.
Layout Mirroring: We maintain the exact grid-style layout of the original Tapu document, making it easy for land registry officers or bank analysts to compare the translation with the original.
Key Components of Land Registry Extracts We Translate
We provide specialized translation services for every detail within the land registry system:
| Section Category | Turkish Term | Critical Translation Focus |
| Property Description | Ana Gayrimenkul Bilgileri | Plot, parcel, and block numbers; land area. |
| Ownership Status | Mülkiyet Bilgileri | Share ratios and identifying data of the owners. |

Why the “Annotation” Section is Critical
In international real estate, what you don’t see can hurt you. We focus on:
Mortgage Details: We accurately translate the currency, amount, and degree of any registered mortgages (İpotek), allowing foreign lenders to assess the priority of their claims.
Pre-emption Rights: We clearly identify “Right of First Refusal” or other pre-emptive rights that could block a potential sale.
Zoning & Usage: Translating specific annotations regarding the land’s status (e.g., “Agricultural Land” vs. “Residential Development”) to ensure the buyer knows exactly what they are purchasing.
