This guide examines Preliminary sale contract specifically through the lens of “Source Freshness Review”, using the official rule and evidence that belong to this topic rather than expanding into adjacent subjects.
Official facts that control the topic
The first substantive rule for “Source Freshness Review — Preliminary sale contract” is this: A Taşınmaz Satış Vaadi Sözleşmesi is a promise to sell real estate in the future and may be annotated in the title registry under the applicable conditions; it is not an immediate transfer of ownership.
Applied specifically through the “Source Freshness Review” lens to Preliminary sale contract, the official position is more precise: TKGM’s sale-promise annotation process relies on a sale-promise agreement in the required formal form and on identification of the parties and property sufficient to connect it to the registry. The price, completion conditions, term, registry annotation and any later disposal or encumbrance should be read together; the promise alone does not prove that every condition for final transfer has been met.
What this review changes
Source freshness for Preliminary sale contract is not satisfied merely because a website is official; the particular information must still apply to the period and facts on which the decision will rely. An old rule may be historically accurate yet unusable today.
Check the publication or verification date, then refresh these items for the current property and period: original promise, notary/authority, contract date/number, parties, block/parcel and unit, price/conditions, completion deadline, title annotation and later restriction. If a figure, tariff or deadline changes by year, use the correct year’s version.
Documents and data that must reconcile
For “Source Freshness Review”, the key evidence is: original promise, notary/authority, contract date/number, parties, block/parcel and unit, price/conditions, completion deadline, title annotation and later restriction
Scope boundary
Because this record is limited to “Source Freshness Review”, its boundary matters: A sale promise is not title and does not prove that the promisor still owns the property at completion; the current registry must be checked.
Official source
Source freshness for a preliminary real-estate sale contract
A preliminary sale contract must be checked against current Turkish formalities, the current registry position of the property and the actual version signed by the parties. The Tapu Sicili Tüzüğü identifies a notarially drawn real-estate sale promise as the document used for annotation of the personal right in the land register. That matters because a private sales sheet, a broker reservation form and a notarial sale promise do not create the same evidentiary or registry position. The review should therefore identify the instrument by its legal form, date, notary office, parties and property rather than calling every pre-closing paper a “preliminary contract.”
Freshness also requires a new registry check. Confirm the current owner, parcel or independent-unit identity, existing annotations and encumbrances, and whether the sale-promise annotation was actually entered if the parties intended it. A notarised document may remain historically valid while the underlying property record later changes. If the seller’s authority, ownership share, unit number, price, payment plan or completion obligation has changed, reconcile the contract with the current evidence before relying on it for the next payment or registration step.
Use current official sources for any transaction-specific consequence. TKGM currently states that, after annotation of a sale promise, a new valuation document is not separately required when the promise beneficiary later registers the property by purchase, subject to the applicable valuation framework. Citizenship files have additional conditions and should not be mixed into an ordinary purchase file. Record the date each official rule was checked, preserve the signed and annotated versions separately, and state which provisions remain operative. The source-freshness conclusion should identify the controlling contract, current registry match, annotation status, current authority of the parties and every later change that requires amendment, confirmation or specialist review.
