Problem Getting Tapu
Hi,
Wonder if you can help at all. We purchased an apartment in a block of 2 properties in Konakli, October 2004. At present we still do not have our Tapu, there have been many problems along the way apparently between the estate agent and builder.
The estate agent is no longer trading and has returned to the UK. The builder has stated he is owed money and will not release the Tapu unless we pay more money (approx £4500) as this has dragged on so long we have agreed. We are due to come to Turkey shortly to sort everything out so have been making some checks through a Turkish friend that everything is in order before we arrive. We know our permission to buy came back and everything was fine, but when he went to check it could not be found, so he checked for the Tapu it now appears that our Tapu has been used as collateral with a bank. Our builder is apparently now living in Belgium, but his brother (another builder) has his power of attorney so is able to sign the Tapu in his place the Tapu is still registered in the Builders name. If our Tapu has been put up as collateral where does that leave us? Your advice will be very much appreciated.
