Question 1

What exactly does Invest Hatay do?

Accepted Answer

We provide end-to-end investment consulting in Hatay across real estate, tourism, urban transformation and foreign-buyer processes. As a holder of a real estate trading authorization, we combine Burç Consulting's international experience with dedicated Hatay expertise.

Question 2

Do you charge for consulting?

Accepted Answer

The first consultation and needs assessment is free. We scope the fee for in-depth site research, official process handling and post-purchase support during that first conversation.

Question 3

Do you only work in Hatay?

Accepted Answer

Our focus is Hatay, but under the Burç Consulting umbrella we also offer business development consulting across Türkiye and internationally.

Question 4

Is real estate investment in Hatay a good idea?

Accepted Answer

It can be, but it needs careful review parcel by parcel and project by project. The post-earthquake reconstruction keeps demand for housing and commercial property active, while zoning uncertainty, title deed annotations and building permits must be verified for each property. We carry out this review through our title deed and legal due diligence service.

Question 5

What should I check when buying land in Hatay?

Accepted Answer

First get a current zoning status certificate and confirm whether the parcel is zoned for residential, commercial, industrial or agricultural use, its building rights (TAKS and KAKS) and its title deed type (building plot, field, olive grove). Also check the title for mortgages, liens and annotations, military prohibited zone status for parcels near the border, and shared ownership.

Question 6

What is the difference between a building plot and farmland?

Accepted Answer

A building plot lies within a zoning plan and can be suitable for construction, while farmland is registered as agricultural land and its non-agricultural use requires permission under the Soil Conservation and Land Use Law. For investment, building rights and title deed type directly affect value.

Question 7

What affects property prices in Antakya?

Accepted Answer

Location, size, zoning status and building rights, title deed type, building condition (including permits and occupancy certificate) and comparable sales are the main factors. Differences can arise between rebuilt neighborhoods and areas where the zoning plan is not yet settled. We do not publish a live price list on this site; a realistic value for your property becomes clear in a valuation conversation.

Question 8

I want to sell my home or land. Where do I start?

Accepted Answer

The first steps are preparing documents such as the title deed, occupancy certificate and building permit, confirming the current zoning status, and setting a price range based on comparable sales. Our resale and valuation support is open to every property owner in Hatay, whether or not you bought from us.

Question 9

What should I watch for when renting out my property?

Accepted Answer

The basics are setting the right rent, writing each party's obligations clearly into the lease, and reviewing a tenant's rental and income history. If you live abroad, our remote property management service can handle rent collection and maintenance.

Question 10

How can I benefit from investment incentives in Hatay?

Accepted Answer

Hatay falls under the Region 6 incentive system and has extended post-earthquake support; eligibility and application depend on the type of investment. Because rates and conditions can be updated by legislation, the current position should be confirmed with incentive consulting before applying.

Question 11

What is needed to set up a foreign-owned company in Hatay?

Accepted Answer

You need a tax number, a choice of company type, a bank account and, where required, a work permit. Our branch and office setup consulting and our bank account and payment setup consulting cover all of these steps.

Question 12

Is it safe to buy property in post-earthquake Hatay?

Accepted Answer

It is, when proper due diligence is done. We review every opportunity for soil survey, building permit and zoning status before recommending it; we never propose a site that looks risky.

Question 13

Is a TOKİ unit or a build-for-land-share deal more advantageous?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your property's location, size and priorities. Through our Urban Transformation Consulting service, we compare both options with concrete data and give you a tailored recommendation.

Question 14

Does it make sense to consider a damaged parcel?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the situation. Land value and rebuilding potential can be an advantage in some cases, while zoning uncertainty raises risk in others. We review each parcel individually.

Question 15

Can foreigners buy real estate in Hatay?

Accepted Answer

Yes, nationals of many countries can buy under reciprocity rules. Because parts of Hatay can fall under security-zone restrictions, parcel-level eligibility must always be verified; we handle that check on your behalf.

Question 16

Can I complete a purchase without traveling to Türkiye?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we set up a secure, remote purchase process through a notarized power of attorney.

Question 17

Can buying property get me a residence permit?

Accepted Answer

Property ownership can, under certain conditions, form the basis for a short-term residence permit application. We walk you through the current requirements in detail during our consultation.

Question 18

Can I get consulting for a small-scale tourism venture too?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide feasibility and setup consulting for boutique hotels, restaurants and hospitality ventures of any scale.

Question 19

Can I convert an existing building into a tourism venture?

Accepted Answer

Possibly, but the building's zoning status, structural soundness and licensing requirements need to be checked first. That's the assessment we carry out.

Question 20

What do I need to do to request a consultation?

Accepted Answer

You can fill out the form on our Contact page, message us on WhatsApp, or call us directly. We start with a free 15-minute initial call.

Question 21

Can I get support in languages other than Turkish throughout the process?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer seamless service in Turkish, English and Arabic.
