Kat Mülkiyeti and Kat İrtifakı: Alanya Buyer Checks
Before paying for an Alanya apartment, decide whether the seller has documented the title classification being offered or is describing a future change. Put the exact wording from the available record beside the wording in the proposed agreement. If they differ, make that discrepancy a specific question before proceeding.
This comparison starts with the property file. A familiar title label, a finished kitchen and a sales brochure should not be treated as interchangeable evidence. Your aim is to identify the recorded apartment and understand what remains unresolved about the proposed purchase.
Start with the recorded classification and the exact apartment
This checklist helps you reconcile the recorded title, the offered apartment and any promised future change. It does not establish the legal distinction between the classifications; request that explanation against the actual record from the registry reviewer.
TKGM publishes guidance on these title classifications through its Kat İrtifakı and Kat Mülkiyeti announcement. Use that official resource to frame an enquiry with the receiving registry office; this guide does not infer detailed rules from the linked circular.
For your comparison sheet, treat Kat İrtifakı and Kat Mülkiyeti as title-classification labels to have identified in the actual record. Ask the person examining the registry file to show where the classification appears and explain which property interest and independent section the record describes.
Treat cins as a property-description field to review, rather than using a single word as your classification test. If you encounter arsa, bina or mesken, retain the original wording beside the translation and ask how it relates to the rest of this particular record.
Compare evidence by question, not by a better-or-worse label
Use the same questions for either classification. This keeps the discussion focused on the apartment offered and the evidence available.
| Question | If the record says Kat İrtifakı | If the record says Kat Mülkiyeti |
|---|---|---|
| Which property is described? | Match parcel, block and independent-section references | Match the same identifiers to the viewed apartment |
| What is the seller offering? | Separate the recorded position from any promised change | Check that the agreement uses the recorded identity |
| What permit material is available? | Request the relevant project and occupancy documents | Request those documents independently of the title label |
| What remains unexplained? | List missing records and proposed future steps | List inconsistencies, alterations and missing records |
| Who will answer? | Identify the registry, municipal and technical questions | Assign each question to the appropriate recipient |
Use bağımsız bölüm as the independent-section label in your document index. Compare its reference with the apartment shown during the viewing. Keep arsa payı, the land-share label, as a separate entry and ask for an explanation if its wording or allocation differs between supplied records.

Keep parcel location separate from title and permit enquiries
The TKGM public parcel service is a starting point for location and parcel identifiers; it does not provide owner-name searches. Use it to organise location questions, not to mark the purchase file as cleared.
Keep a separate request for the project and occupancy material. Ask which building, section and version each supplied document concerns. For the occupancy-document workflow, use Iskan in Alanya: Check the Occupancy Documents Before Buying.
Arrange the physical-condition enquiry separately too. Give an independent engineer the available project material and ask what inspection scope would address your concerns. Do not turn the title label into an engineering conclusion. For questions to prepare before that discussion, see Buying in Alanya: Prepare a Building Review with an Engineer.
Turn promises of a title change into reviewable questions
If the seller proposes a later change, request a written account of the intended result, supporting documents, unresolved steps and responsible party. Ask which part is already evidenced and which part remains a promise.
If your purchase depends on financing, rental use or a citizenship application, record that dependency separately. Ask the proposed lender about the named borrower and property, the relevant rental authority about the intended use, or the receiving citizenship authority about the proposed application. Supply the available title and occupancy records and ask what further evidence is needed; keep each response separate from the title-classification enquiry.
Have transaction counsel compare that account with the proposed agreement. Ask how the agreement describes completion, what evidence would demonstrate it and what options the wording provides if the promised result is not delivered. Do not assume those options from a sales conversation or this checklist.
Resolve an apartment-number mismatch before choosing
Illustrative scenario: A buyer views a furnished apartment identified by a door plaque. The supplied title copy and project sheet use a different independent-section reference, while the seller says the title classification will change later.
The buyer separates the issues: first request a documented match between the viewed apartment and recorded section; then request evidence supporting the proposed change. A reassuring answer about the future classification does not answer the identity question.
Build a comparison pack before the next commitment
Ask Ogenus for the available title copy, property identifiers and seller's written description of what is being offered for each serious candidate. Add your discrepancy table and send targeted questions to the relevant record holder or adviser. Shortlist using the answers and remaining unknowns, with title classification, permit coverage and structural inspection kept visibly separate.
