Correction of type, which literally means "change of type," is the process of changing the registered description (type) of a property in the land registry according to the construction or intended use of the property. The most common example is when a property registered as "Field" or "Plot" in the land registry is re-registered as "Stone House" or "Apartment" after a building is constructed on it.

Why is a Correction of Type Necessary in Dalaman?

When you build a villa, detached house, or apartment on a plot of land in the Dalaman region, your work doesn't end with the completion of the rough construction. To legally obtain "building" status for your property and to be able to obtain separate title deeds (condominium ownership) for each section (apartment), a change of property type is mandatory. A property without a change of property type will still appear as an empty plot of land in official records.

Advantages of the Property Type Change Process

A property owner who has completed this process will have the following advantages:

• Credit Eligibility: Banks generally do not provide housing loans for properties that appear to have a building on them but are still registered as "land" in the title deed. Correcting the type of property speeds up the sales process.

How Does the Process Work in Dalaman?

In your newly completed project in Dalaman, the property type correction process proceeds as follows: First, an occupancy permit is obtained from the municipality, then an application is made to the Cadastre Directorate for technical checks (application errors, etc.). In the final stage, the new type of property is registered in the registry through the Land Registry Directorate.

Especially in the villages or central neighborhoods of Dalaman, this process should not be skipped when renovating old houses or building new villas, as it greatly facilitates future sales or inheritance processes.
