Why Due Diligence Matters
Hotel acquisitions in Turkey involve multiple layers of legal, financial, and operational complexity. A thorough due diligence process protects investors from hidden liabilities and ensures accurate asset valuation.
Legal Due Diligence

- Zoning and land-use compliance
- Tourism operating license (Turizm İşletme Belgesi) status
- Municipal permits and certificates of occupancy
- Outstanding liens, mortgages, or legal disputes
- Environmental compliance and impact assessments
Financial Due Diligence
- 3-5 years of audited financial statements
- Revenue breakdown by segment (rooms, F&B, MICE, spa)
- Occupancy rates, ADR, and RevPAR trends
- Operating expense analysis and EBITDA margins
- Capital expenditure history and deferred maintenance
- Tax compliance and outstanding obligations
Operational Due Diligence
- Staff contracts, labor obligations, and union agreements
- Supplier and vendor contracts
- OTA agreements and commission structures
- Brand/franchise agreement terms (if applicable)
