Property Residency and Ownership Guide

Ownership is not a residence permit

Build an ownership file and an immigration file separately. The first should show the registered asset, buyer and any title restrictions; the second should track the current residence category, address eligibility, supporting documents and competent authority's requirements. Confirm eligibility for the individual applicant on the intended application date, rather than inferring it from a property advertisement. If an application depends on conditions that can change, record the official publication date and check again before paying fees or signing a long-term commitment.

Practical verification checklist

Residence versus title: A registered title establishes ownership interests but is not, by itself, a residence permit. Check current residence categories, address eligibility, insurance and documentation directly with the migration authority. For the property itself, compare title identifiers with the physical address and inspect any mortgage, attachment or shared-ownership limitations before transfer.

The Turkish family-residence annotation is neither a monetary lien nor a mere address note.

Due diligence must combine the current land-register record, property and residence identity, civil-status evidence and the legal effect rather than relying only on whether an old title copy shows the annotation.
