Urban Renewal Advisor
Turns an old property into a new one — without you paying a thing
An urban renewal advisor (Tama 38 / evacuation-reconstruction) guides you through the complex processes of building renewal in Israel.
🔑 What does a Urban Renewal Advisor do?
An urban renewal advisor specialises in the processes of Tama 38 (structural reinforcement) and evacuation-reconstruction in Israel. They check the property's eligibility, explain the rights you are entitled to as an apartment owner, assist in evaluating developer proposals, and advise on the optimal course of action. Some advisors also accompany you through negotiations with the developer.
⏰ When will you need one?
- ✓When considering purchasing an old property with urban renewal potential
- ✓When the building committee is receiving developer proposals
- ✓When you want to understand the impact of urban renewal on property value
💡 Why are they important?
Urban renewal can increase a property's value by 30%–100% or more. But it is a complex, multi-year process that involves legal aspects, planning permissions, developer negotiations, and tenant rights. Without professional guidance, apartment owners often agree to deals that are significantly below what they could have obtained.
⚠️ What is the risk of skipping?
Without professional advice, apartment owners may: receive inadequate compensation from the developer, sign a poorly crafted developer agreement, not understand their rights during the construction period, or miss opportunities for significantly better terms.
✅ How to choose a good Urban Renewal Advisor?
Look for an advisor with hands-on experience in urban renewal projects in the relevant area. Ask to speak with property owners they have previously assisted. Make sure they explain the entire process clearly — urban renewal is complex and requires transparency.
