Several news organisations have been reporting on the expanding scope of the SAĞLAM TAPU consultancy services.
SAĞLAM TAPU quickly meets the needs and requirements of customers in their real estate purchases. The platform has been designed to check land registry records of potential real estate, alongside an Immovable Risk Analysis which undertakes a comprehensive risk analysis through CMB licensed real estate appraisal firms.
The following comments by FU CEO Mr. Ertuğrul Bul were reported in the news articles in question: "We do not want to interfere with the commercial relation between the seller and the buyer under the Property Risk Analysis services. So we provide a service which avoids doing this. We want to make sure that all the people living in Turkey have trust in real estate. In particular, it is critical for customers to easily understand the processes involved in the the real estate sector. With the Sağlam Tapu service, the process begins with a review of the title deed details at the land registry where the real estate is registered. It continues with the relaying of the information to the customers by means of SMS, e-mail and telephone. Documents that are prepared following the commencement of the land registry operations are re-checked to ensure their compliance with the customer’s wishes and the stipulations of the land registry. Potential consequences of an ‘encumbrance’ are evaluated and explained to the customer. The transactions are then assessed by the Property Risk Analysis service. These reports, issued with the support from CMB-licensed real estate appraisal firms, confirm if the property that the buyer intends to buy is the actual residence stipulated, and this is backed up by the detailed project reviews that are to be carried out by land registry offices”.
