Must-Check Documents When Buying a House

Buying a house can be one of the most important decisions in life. However, it is vital to check the necessary documents in order for this process to proceed in a healthy way. As CEESS Global, we detail these documents for our valued customers:

1. Title Deed
The first step when buying a house should be to examine the title deed. Check that the title deed belongs to the property owner and that there are no mortgages or annotations on it. Title deed information provides clear information about the legal owner of the real estate.

2. Housing License
The occupancy license, which shows that the building has been legally opened for use, is one of the most critical documents to be considered when buying a new home. A building without a certificate of occupancy can cause serious legal and financial problems in the future.

3. Compulsory Earthquake Insurance (TCIP)
TCIP is compulsory for every property in Turkey. This insurance ensures that the building is protected in the event of an earthquake. Be sure to check the validity of the TCIP policy when buying a new home.

4. Mortgage or Foreclosure Record
It is important to check whether there are any mortgages, liens or annotations on the title deed. These can affect the transaction of the property. Make sure that all legal obligations are removed before the sale.

5. Project and License Documents of the Building
Check that the house you intend to buy is built according to the project and has a full license. This guarantees the safety and legality of the property.
