The Ministry’s Otopark Yönetmeliği guidance shows that parking provision is regulated at project/building level. A buyer should separately verify whether a claimed parking space appears in the approved project and whether any unit-specific attachment/right is actually recorded.
The Ministry of Environment operates the e-Plan planning automation system; future-use or infrastructure assumptions should be checked against the plan layer and notes applicable to the exact parcel.
Proving what a parking space actually is
Parking availability is not resolved by asking whether a complex “has parking.” Determine whether the space is an appurtenant right of the unit, common property allocated under the management plan, an informal assigned space without a registered right, or public parking outside the property. Compare the approved project, management plan and registry where an eklenti or related right is claimed, and obtain a written explanation if a seller markets a “private space” that is not supported by the documents. The distinction affects value, resale and everyday disputes within a site.
Field testing should measure usability, not only count spaces: entrance width, ramp, turning radius, clearance, fit for the buyer’s vehicle, visitor access and whether a gate/numbering system can be transferred. Review management rules on second vehicles, internal renting, charging equipment and storage. For street parking, visit in the evening and at weekends because daytime availability can materially overstate practical supply.
If metro proximity is used to argue that parking is unnecessary, treat that as a lifestyle assumption rather than a legal substitute for a parking right promised in the contract. Valuation comparables should have a similar parking status; do not pay a premium for an unproved allocation. A future car park announced with a development should remain separate from capacity operating today until its planning and implementation status is evidenced.
Test the parking proposition before purchase
Create a simple schedule for each expected vehicle: is the space a separately registered unit, an appurtenance, an allocated common area or merely first-come use; who controls it; does the bay number match the plan; and can the vehicle enter and leave without depending on another car moving. Review management resolutions where internal allocations exist and test height, ramp and entrance dimensions for the intended vehicle. If parking is material to the purchase, the contract should describe the documented right rather than rely on “parking available” marketing. Also ask about separate charges, charging-station rules and restrictions on commercial or oversized vehicles.
Parking that can actually be used
Do not count visible cars and assume they represent rights attached to the apartment. Determine whether parking is a registered appurtenance or right, an allocated space under management arrangements, or merely a current practice with no exclusive guarantee. Test entrance width, turning, ramp and access from the street as well. A space shown on a plan can still be impractical for the buyer’s vehicle or unavailable under the building’s allocation rules.

Parking that is physically used by the occupant is not necessarily a separately owned or legally allocated parking right. Determine whether the space is an independent unit, an appurtenance, or common property allocated under the management documents, and match any stated number or location to the property records. A sales claim that every apartment has parking should not be treated as proof of an exclusive transferable space.
