What Foreign Buyers Need to Know
Approved tourist zone. Yasmine Hammamet and part of Hammamet Nord are AFT-approved tourist zones. Non-Tunisians can buy freely, without governor's authorization.
Titre foncier is essential. Insist on registered land — especially critical in coastal areas where overlapping ownership claims are common.
Foreign currency account. Finance purchases via a Tunisian CED or documented international wire transfer. Keep the transfer certificate — it's needed to repatriate resale proceeds.
Seasonal Rental Yields in Hammamet
- High season (June–September): a well-located F2 apartment rents for 1,500–3,500 DT/month furnished.
- Low season demand exists from long-stay residents but is softer.
- Estimated gross annual yield: 4–7%, up to 8–10% for intensively managed seasonal rental.
Seasonal rental management can be delegated to local agencies at 15–25% of rental income.
