Urban Transformation in 13 Steps

To successfully transform your dilapidated, earthquake-resistant, and non-compliant homes into livable, earthquake-resistant, high-quality living spaces with amenities, parking, and green spaces, it's crucial for the contractor to complete the urban transformation process in 13 steps, as outlined in the Urban Transformation Law.

One of the key criteria to consider when choosing a contractor is whether they will handle these 13 stages on your behalf.

EKŞİOĞLU İNŞAAT will handle all the municipal and land registry procedures on your behalf, including the power of attorney, consent, and signing of the construction contract in exchange for the land share.

STEP 1:

Apply to the Municipal Zoning Directorate or Land Registry Directorate to obtain the structural and architectural designs for your building from the archives. This step involves preparing specific project proposals for each building and presenting them to the property owners.

STEP 2:

Fifteen days prior to the building's construction, the apartment management will officially call the apartment owners to a meeting, where the urban transformation decision will be made, and a contract will be signed with EKŞİOĞLU İNŞAAT.

To obtain a building's earthquake risk report, the necessary procedures must be initiated with the building's current blueprints, title deed, a document listing independent units from the Land Registry Office, and a photocopy of your identity card. If there is no apartment title deed or condominium, the "Shared Land Deed for the Apartment" will serve the same purpose.

STEP 3:

To identify risky structures, agreements are made with licensed institutions, and the necessary inspections are conducted, and an earthquake risk report is prepared for your building.

STEP 4:

Your building's earthquake risk report must be submitted to the Provincial Urban Transformation Directorate of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, to which your building is affiliated, with a cover letter, within seven days.

STEP 5:

Your building's earthquake risk report will be reviewed by the Provincial Urban Transformation Directorate and, if found complete, approved. Approved reports are notified in writing to the relevant Land Registry Directorate. The relevant Land Registry Directorate will record a "risky building" entry in the land registry for the building in question. This entry is for informational purposes only; purchases and sales may continue.

STEP 6:

The relevant Land Registry Directorate will send an official letter to all apartment owners requesting the demolition of the building within 60 days of the notification date.

STEP 7:

You have the right to object to the report prepared by the Provincial Directorate of the relevant Ministry within 15 days of the official letter being served on the apartment owners. This step involves a technical committee review.

STEP 8:

If the building is deemed risky, a building Joint Decision Protocol will be prepared and signed by at least a two-thirds majority of the apartment owners holding title deed shares after the official letter is served on the apartment owners. This protocol requires a decision on how, when, in what manner, by whom, and with what distribution the building mentioned above will be built.

STEP 9:

The Building Joint Decision Protocol for your building must be submitted to the Provincial Urban Transformation Directorate of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization for informational purposes. If an agreement is not reached within 60 days and the building is not demolished, the building will be demolished by the administrative authorities, and a notice will be sent with an additional period of not less than 30 days. If the risky building is not demolished after this period, the demolition process will be carried out or ordered by the local authorities with the participation of the local authorities. The land shares of the owners who do not agree to the agreement will be sold at auction at the market value determined by the Ministry or registered with the Treasury.

STEP 10:

The building will be demolished at the end of the given period.

STEP 11:

Upon completion of all phases, construction permits are prepared, a building permit is obtained, and reconstruction begins.

Once construction begins, each phase of the new building is inspected by building inspection firms and, if you are applying for an urban transformation loan, by bank experts.

STEP 12:

For loan assistance, applications must be submitted to banks that have agreements with the Ministry, and for rental assistance, to the Provincial Urban Transformation Directorate. Rental assistance is paid for 18 months.

STEP 13:

Upon completion of the new building project, a title deed with occupancy permit is obtained from the municipality. A title deed with occupancy permit indicates that the building's construction is progressing according to the project, has been completed completely, and is earthquake resistant. The title deed is then transferred.
