Identifying a true common area

Common-area status under Turkish condominium law is not determined by a sales brochure or by who happens to use a space. Read the independent-unit title together with the approved architectural project, management plan and Condominium Ownership Law No. 634. Article 4 identifies examples such as foundations, structural walls, corridors, stairs, lifts and roofs, together with other places allocated to common protection or use. A seller’s statement that a terrace, garden or parking bay “belongs to the flat” therefore needs documentary support.

Ownership of a common part must also be distinguished from an exclusive right of use. A garden strip or parking space may remain common property while a project or management arrangement allocates its use to a particular unit. That distinction matters when the owner wants to enclose, build on, lease or materially alter the area. During due diligence, mark the claimed space on the approved plan, photograph the physical arrangement and record the document that supports any exclusive use.

Costs, decisions and future works

Common-property rights also carry financial consequences. Review how lift, roof, façade, security and shared-facility expenses are allocated and whether the management plan contains a special rule. Obtain recent owners’ decisions for major works; an approved project can create a near-term contribution even if contractors have not yet started. Where common property produces revenue, such as a licensed rental of a shared space, retain the decision, contract and accounting trail rather than assuming the benefit automatically attaches to one unit.

Exclusive use should also be tested against later owner decisions: a historic allocation can be affected by an approved project amendment or a valid change to the management arrangement. If the purchase price includes a premium for garden, roof or parking use, make the document supporting that premium part of the purchase file rather than leaving it as a sales representation.

Finally, distinguish physical maintenance responsibility from ownership status. A management plan may allocate routine care of an exclusively used garden or terrace to one unit even though structural repair or major alteration remains a common-property matter. Record the rule before estimating future ownership cost.
