Greece offers beautiful properties at competitive prices, but buying real estate here has its complexities. As your lawyer, I protect your interests from the first viewing to getting your keys - making sure you buy what you think you're buying.
Yes, absolutely. EU citizens have no restrictions. Non-EU citizens can also buy, though properties in border areas require special permission (which we can help obtain). The process is straightforward with the right legal support.
Beyond the purchase price, budget for: Property Transfer Tax (3.09% of the tax value), Notary fees (1-1.5%), Land Registry fees (0.5%), and Legal fees (typically 1-2% of purchase price). I'll give you a complete cost breakdown before you commit.
No problem. You can grant me Power of Attorney to act on your behalf. This is common for international buyers. We prepare the documents, you sign at a Greek consulate or with apostille, and I handle everything in Greece.
I've handled hundreds of property transactions for Greek and foreign buyers. I know what can go wrong - and I make sure it doesn't. Before you pay a euro, I verify everything about the property. I attend the signing, review every document, and don't release funds until I'm 100% satisfied. Many clients are abroad, so I'm used to working via video calls and email, making the process smooth even from a distance.
