How to check the details?

Whether a property does belong to a person can be checked through the pictures and names appearing on the TAPU. If the TAPU is a Xerox copy, then make sure it has been ratified by a notary public. Otherwise, a fake TAPU might have been handed over to you. With regards to the names, you can ask for the ID card of the seller(s) and compare the TAPU to the ID card in terms of names.

Whether cadastral/map coordinates on a TAPU are genuine can be double checked by means of a private cadastral or a civil engineering bureau.

Furthermore, one can ask the TAPU office to put an annotation (Serh) on the TAPU so as to specifically prohibit an unwanted transaction regarding the ownership. Unless the conditions described in the annotation are not met, the property can neither be sold out nor transferred into the names of third parties.
