What is Çap? Its Importance in Title Deeds and Cadastre and the Process

Çap is the process of measuring a property’s surface area and recording it in the title deed. It is fundamental to all real estate transactions.

Çap is the official process of measuring and determining the surface area (size) of a property and recording it in the title deed. This process ensures that the land registry remains up-to-date and accurate.

Why is a Çap Survey Carried Out?

The accuracy of the surface area information in the title deed is critically important for property sales, inheritance, mortgage and other transactions. A çap survey officially verifies this information.

Çap Survey Process

  • Application: The property owner or authorised person applies to the title deed office for a çap survey.
  • Measurement: Cadastre teams carry out a survey on site and determine the exact surface area.
  • Registration: The measurement result is recorded in the title deed and issued as an official document.

The Relationship Between Çap and Title Deeds

The surface area stated on the title deed can be updated following a çap survey. Therefore, obtaining an accurate çap measurement is essential to know the true size of the property and ensure the title deed is correct.

Conclusion

Çap, as the official measurement and registration process for a property, provides assurance and accuracy in real estate transactions. Up-to-date and accurate çap information is extremely important for both buyers and sellers.
