<b>A research on determining title deed fee losses in real estate sales with the help of geographic information systems (GIS): Konya/Karatay case</b>

In Türkiye, approximately 1.5 million real estate sales transactions are conducted by land registry offices every year. In these transactions, there is a maximum level of fee/tax losses and leakages due to the differences between the fair values of the real estate and the declared values. In this study, a street-based study was conducted in Akabe Neighbourhood of Karatay District, Konya Province. As a result, it was determined that in the neighbourhood where the field study was conducted, title deed fee was collected at 1/5 of the amount that should be collected, i.e., there was a loss of 80%.
