Closing-Day Recheck — Title transfer fees

Closing-Day Recheck — Title transfer fees

Primary official evidence

Separate the title-deed fee (tapu harcı), TKGM revolving-fund/service charge and any other transaction-specific official payment. Use the current transaction references and the tariff/rules applicable on the actual transfer date rather than a copied old estimate. On the completion date, rely on the latest official position for facts that can change and resolve any material mismatch before signature or release of funds.

Key verification points

Match the value used in the official fee process to the final declared sale value and the current property-tax value used for transfer. If the price or municipality value changed, recalculate before payment rather than relying on an earlier assessment.

Document and identity reconciliation

Verify the transaction/application reference, amount, payer where shown, payment status and that the record belongs to the same property transfer. A correct amount paid under another application does not settle this transaction.

Timing and change risk

It is complete when the current official charges are identified, the fee base matches the final transaction data, every official payment reference belongs to the same transfer, and any private allocation between the parties is documented separately.

Decision standard

Keep the private cost allocation separate from the official fee calculation and payment records. The agreement can determine reimbursement between the parties, but it should not be used to rewrite the official transaction amount or receipt.
