Our office has been successfully representing high net worth individuals, companies & corporations embarking upon investment projects in Greece. Our professional services include tracing property titles all over Greece and investigating and providing due diligence reports on the legal and actual status of the property in question, that is whether it is clear for transfer, whether ownership of property is disputed, any third parties' rights exist etc. On larger projects we appoint topographers, engineers and supervise the whole process ensuring flawless transactions and successful end results. The supervision of an independent Greek property lawyer (not an attorney the seller or realtor will provide) when buying property in Greece is extremely important as real estate law in Greece is complex and requires an independent, competent, honest/impartial party to search titles for defects or burdens, supervise, co-draft and approve the process of buying property in Greece. Our extensive experience on the area of Greek Real Estate Law and Investment Migration Law & Procedure (in the event you apply for a Residence Permit for Property Owners in Greece) shall provide you with peace of mind as you will end up with a clean property title and a successful grant of a residence permit (if you also happen to apply for a Schengen Residence Permit in Greece). Golden VISA Greece Program: Non EU citizens owning or purchasing property of a value/price in excess of 250.000 EUR can acquire a valid residence permit in Greece indefinitely, thus gaining access to all Schengen countries. This way property owners make the expanding of their access to Europe possible. Greece currently offers unprecedented opportunities in the real estate market as prices are low and prospects for a return in the original investment high so long as you make the right choice on the property. We represent, advise and assist our clients in every stage of the real estate purchase procedure, providing the following basic services:
In the event of purchases toward the Golden Visa Greece Residency we provide the following additional services:
With respect to real estate investments in Greece, we can provide the following extended services:
CAUTIONARY NOTE TO CHINESE INVESTORS: In recent years some "immigration agencies" have appeared in the market (especially in China with branches in Greece) offering packages by allocating low-cost properties and selling them at a whopping profit. You need to be cautious as you may end up getting a property that its real value may be much less than 250.000 EUR. Whereas this will still grant you the residence permit (as long as you paid over 250.000), it is not a sound investment practice if its real market value is e.g half of what you paid. Appointing an independent Greek lawyer is thus vital. Please contact us for more information on our services, rates and cost for advice and representation. |
