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," "Olive Grove," or "Plot" in the land registry is re-registered as "Stone House," "Detached Villa," or "Apartment" after a building is constructed on it.

In Muğla, a world-class tourism destination, when you build a villa, detached house, or tourist facility on land, especially in rural neighborhoods or on plots in the city center, the process does not end only with the completion of the rough construction. Your property must be legally registered as a "building". In order for a property to gain status and for each independent unit (apartment) to have its own separate title deed (condominium ownership), a change of type is mandatory.A property without a change of type will still appear as "field" or "empty plot" in official records; this will not reflect the true value of your property on paper in a region like Muğla, where real estate values are very high, and will create serious obstacles in legal processes such as sales.
