In real estate buying, selling, and renting processes, it is important to manage transaction security carefully. As Home.com.tr, we share the key security points to consider so that our users can act more consciously and in a more controlled manner.
Check That Property Information Is Up to Date
When reviewing a listing for a property, it is important to evaluate it not only based on the listing information but also with the property’s current official records.
Before the transaction, as much as possible;
- title deed information,
- independent section information,
- square meter information,
- block / parcel information,
- property type,
- shared title deed status
it is recommended to check details such as these.
In some cases, older title deed copies may be used, or current changes on the property may not be reflected in the documents.
Title deed records can be checked via;
- e-Devlet,
- Web Tapu System,
- General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre
.
Review Annotations and Restrictions on the Title Deed
Before the transaction, it is important to carefully review official records on the property such as;
- mortgage,
- seizure,
- injunction order,
- usufruct right,
- family residence annotation,
- sale restriction,
- lease annotation,
- lawsuit or preliminary injunction records
.
Some properties may have ongoing legal processes or usage restrictions.
For this reason, it is recommended to proceed not only with the physical title deed document but also with current official records.
Carefully Evaluate Shared Title Deed Situations
Especially for land plots, fields, and some residences, there may be a shared title deed structure.
In shared title deeds, the portion purchased may not represent a specific physical area of the property; it may represent the share ratio stated on the title deed.
Before the transaction;
- shareholder structure,
- usage status,
- partnership structure,
- right of pre-emption (şufa),
- existing lawsuit or dispute processes
it is recommended to carefully review details such as these.
Check Zoning and Building Status
The zoning status and building records in the area where the property is located should be reviewed before the transaction.
Some properties may have;
- unlicensed construction,
- unauthorized section,
- missing occupancy permit,
- use contrary to the project,
- building registration issue
.
Zoning status, building permit, and occupancy permit information can be checked via the relevant municipalities or e-Devlet.
Act Carefully in Advance Payment and Deposit Processes
In deposit, reservation, or advance payment requests, it is important to verify the parties’ information and the property information.
It is not recommended to make a payment before seeing the property on site, without completing the necessary checks, or before the official processes are clarified.
Particular caution should be exercised in situations where pressure is applied to make a quick decision.
Check Authorization and Identity Verifications
It is important to verify that the person or institution publishing the listing has the authority to carry out transactions on the property.
In cases where transactions are carried out by power of attorney, it is recommended to check that the power of attorney is current and valid.
Authorization certificates of real estate businesses can be verified via the Ministry of Trade Real Estate Trade Information System (TTBS).
On Home.com.tr, verification processes, EİDS integration, and infrastructures compliant with authorization checks are supported.
Watch Out for the Same Property Being Published with Different Listings
In some cases, the same property may be published more than once with different prices, different descriptions, or different contact information.
It is recommended to review listing details, location information, and authorization status comparatively.
On Home.com.tr, verification infrastructures compatible with EİDS integration and the single-listing approach are supported.
Be Cautious About Off-Platform Redirections
Caution should be exercised if transaction processes are moved to links, payment pages, or verification screens outside the platform.
Personal information, bank information, verification codes, and account access information should not be shared with third parties.
Home.com.tr never requests passwords or verification codes from any user via messaging.
Do Not Decide Without Seeing the Property On Site
Before making a purchase or rental decision, it is recommended to see the property on site if possible.
Verifying the property’s physical condition, its location, surrounding conditions, and listing details on site is important for transaction security.
Manage Official Processes Carefully
In title deed transactions, lease agreements, and other official processes, it is important to carefully review the required documents and records.
When necessary, obtaining legal, technical, or financial expert support may be beneficial for transaction security.
