For the recordkeeping, test the strongest claim first. If approved use conflicts with permit linkage, preserve both pieces of evidence and identify the reason for the conflict before treating the file as complete.

Transaction example
Example: the file contains occupancy certificate, but unit match cannot be verified. Do not mark “Occupancy permit status Recordkeeping Guide” complete. Keep the issue open, obtain a current official record and document whether the mismatch changes payment, price, use, finance or closing.

Keeping an occupancy-permit record that survives resale
Preserve the occupancy permit together with the building and block identifiers, the related building-permit reference and the date on which the competent authority confirmed the document. If the development received permits in stages, store the evidence that shows which phase or block each document covers. Keep later approved amendments and any municipal correspondence that explains a change in use or scope; do not overwrite older versions when they are needed to understand the chronology.
The record should also distinguish official evidence from supporting material. Utility subscriptions, management records and photographs may help explain actual occupation, but they should be labelled as supporting evidence rather than as substitutes for Yapı Kullanma İzin Belgesi. At sale or refinancing, a third party should be able to identify the permit relied upon, see when it was checked and understand any exception without reconstructing the history from scattered messages.
