Protecting Your Real Estate Investments
In Turkey, Compulsory Earthquake Insurance (in Turkish, Zorunlu Deprem Sigortası or commonly known as DASK) is a mandatory policy required for all residential buildings. This insurance serves as a financial guarantee against the physical damage caused by earthquakes and related disasters like fires, explosions, or landslides.
For international property owners, expats, or corporations involved in Turkish real estate, a certified translation of the DASK policy is essential. It is a primary requirement for:
- Property Sales and Transfers: Proving insurance compliance during title deed (Tapu) transactions.
- Utility Connections: Setting up electricity, water, or gas subscriptions in a foreign name.
- Bank Loans and Mortgages: Providing proof of collateral protection to international lenders.
- Residency Applications: Submitting proof of a secure residence to immigration authorities.
