Property Consulting for Foreign Buyers

End-to-end guidance for foreign investors buying property in Türkiye and Hatay: regulations, title deed process and the residence-permit link.

Investing in a different country gets easier with the right guide

Türkiye grants real estate purchase rights to nationals of many countries under reciprocity rules. But the process requires regulatory awareness, correct documentation, and familiarity with local procedures.

Because of its border location, parts of Hatay can be subject to military or security-zone restrictions. Every parcel needs an individual eligibility check; we handle that on your behalf.

Serving clients in Turkish, English and Arabic, we offer investors from the Gulf, Europe and beyond a clear, transparent process in their own language.

Key points for foreign investors

  • Confirming your purchase rights under reciprocity rules, based on your nationality
  • Whether a military/security-zone permit is required in border-adjacent areas
  • Preparation needed for the title process: ID, tax number, bank account and similar requirements
  • If granting power of attorney, clearly defining the attorney's trustworthiness and scope of authority
  • How the property's value and type affect a residence-permit plan, if that's your goal
  • Making sure certified translations and official documents are complete and current

From the official data

Home Sales to Foreigners: What the Official Data Show

TurkStat publishes home sales to foreigners by province, but the 2025 table lists only the provinces with the highest sales as separate rows, and Hatay does not appear among them. No current district-level figure for this indicator was found in the official sources.

IndicatorValueYearSource
Türkiye: homes sold to foreigners21,5342025[1]
Türkiye: homes sold to foreigners23,7812024[1]
Hatay: sales to foreigners (province row)Not shown separately2025[1]

What does this data mean for an investor?

Nationally, sales to foreigners fell from 67,490 in 2022 to 21,534 in 2025. It can be inferred that Hatay's share of this pool is small, which is why it gets no separate row, but the data do not give the exact ratio. An investment plan that targets foreign buyers has to accept that this demand cannot be proven with official statistics and should be tested with field information and actual deed transactions.

Limitation: Based on province-level data published only for the top-ranking provinces; no figure has been produced for Hatay.

House Price and Rent Index: The Hatay Region

According to the CBRT's August 2026 bulletin, in the TR63 region covering Hatay, Kahramanmaraş and Osmaniye the house price index rose 22.1% in nominal terms on the same month a year earlier (Türkiye: 23.0%). The new-tenant rent index rose 26.4% in the same region (Türkiye: 26.4%).

What does this data mean for an investor?

The TR63 region's house price rise (22.1%) is 0.9 points below the national average and mid-table among the 20 regions (lowest 13.0%, highest 27.0%). Prices around Hatay are therefore rising more slowly than in metropolises such as İstanbul (26.3%). The rent index rose 26.4%, 4.3 points more than the price index, which may point to a rising rent-to-price ratio (interpretation, since indices show change, not level).

Nationally, the price rise corresponds to a 6.5% real decline: the nominal rise stayed below inflation. The bulletin gives no regional real change for TR63, but since its nominal rise (22.1%) is below the national one, the real loss there may be larger (interpretation). What it means for an investor: a plan that treats housing as a store of value should look at this indicator together with rental yield; a nominal rise alone is not evidence of return.

Limitation: The indices refer to the Hatay–Kahramanmaraş–Osmaniye region (TR63), not to Hatay alone; no Hatay-only value is published. The indices (2023=100) give neither a price per m² nor a rent amount, only change. By the CBRT's method, house values come from valuation reports prepared for loan applications (a completed sale is not required) and quality effects are removed by hedonic regression. The bulletin address is updated each month; the August 2026 issue is used here.
