Apartment Number Floor and Title Match Check
Core point
Use the floor plan to confirm the viewed apartment is the registered unit, especially in towers with wings or renumbering.
Do not rely on “seventh floor” alone where basement, mezzanine or floor naming differs across documents.
Independent-unit number and floor match
Required evidence
Decision points
Matching apartment number, floor and title record
A unit-identity error can occur even when the correct building has been found. Start with the bağımsız bölüm number in the title record, then compare it with the floor and number in the approved architectural project, the physical door numbering and the sale contract. Do not assume that “Apartment 12” in marketing is legally independent unit 12; developments sometimes use commercial labels or change door numbering without changing the legal unit identifier.
Create a four-column reconciliation: legal independent-unit number, official project floor, physical door number, and the unit name/code used in sale documents. Agreement among all four creates strong identification. If one differs, obtain a document that bridges the two designations rather than relying on the concierge’s or broker’s explanation.
Prove that the inspected apartment is the legal unit
At the viewing, record the door number, corridor and fixed reference points and match them to the floor plan. Check orientation and the unit’s position relative to lifts, stairs and façade. These features can expose a case where a buyer viewed a similar apartment on the same floor while the contract points to another unit. In projects with repeated floor plates, visual similarity alone is weak evidence.
If numbering changed after a project amendment or conversion from kat irtifakı to kat mülkiyeti, preserve both the old and new identifiers and the document explaining the transition. Do not erase the former identity because it may explain earlier contracts and receipts, but base closing on the current official identity.
Pre-signing gate
Before final contract or title transfer, an independent reviewer should be able to move from the title record to the approved plan and then to the door that was inspected without oral explanation. If that path cannot be reproduced, hold the transaction until the seller, municipality or project management supplies verifiable bridging evidence. This prevents the costly error of purchasing a different legal unit from the apartment that was inspected and valued.
Practical closure test for Apartment Number Floor and Title Match Check
For “Apartment Number Floor and Title Match Check”, use TKGM — Tapu ve Kadastro Genel Müdürlüğü (https://www.tkgm.gov.tr/anasayfa) as one of the reference points already attached to the record. Confirm the scope of that source and keep any complementary registry, contract, engineering, tax, insurance or payment evidence separate so that one document is not asked to prove a fact outside its function.
A useful closure note for “Apartment Number Floor and Title Match Check” should state what changed during the review, what remained unchanged, which discrepancy was resolved, and which residual issue—if any—was consciously accepted. If later resale, financing or dispute review would require the same evidence, preserve the controlling version and its retrieval date rather than only a narrative conclusion.
