What is the difference between Kat Mülkiyeti (Condominium Ownership) and Kat İrtifakı (Construction Servitude)?

These are two different types of title deeds. Kat İrtifakı is a temporary title deed issued for a property that is part of a construction project that is not yet completed or hasn’t received its occupancy permit (Iskan). It signifies that you own a share of the land and a specific unit within the future building. Kat Mülkiyeti, on the other hand, is the permanent and most secure type of title deed. It is granted once the building is fully constructed, inspected by the municipality, and each independent unit is officially registered. For a buyer, a property with a Kat Mülkiyeti title deed is the safest investment.
