Buyers
What are the costs of buying a property?
Indicatively: transfer tax of 3.09% on the official value (or VAT on new builds), notary around 0.8–1%, registration around 0.5%, lawyer 0.5–1% and the agency fee. We give you an exact calculation for each property.
Do I need mortgage pre-approval before searching?
It is not required, but it helps a lot: you know your budget and sellers prefer you. We connect you with a mortgage adviser for free.
How soon can I see a property?
Usually the same week. Send a request from the property page and we message you on WhatsApp within a minute to book a time.
Sellers
How much does a valuation cost?
Nothing. The valuation is free and you are not obliged to list with us.
What does an exclusive listing mean?
Only we market the property for an agreed period. In return we invest in photography, video and advertising, and you have one person responsible for everything.
Which documents do I need to sell?
Title deed, Land Registry certificate, energy certificate, engineer certificate, tax and municipal clearance and property tax. We gather them with you.
Landlords & tenants
How do you screen a tenant?
We ask for a tax statement, an employer letter and a reference from the previous landlord, and we interview before signing.
How much are the deposit and the fee when renting?
Usually a deposit of two months’ rent. The agency fee is one month’s rent, agreed in writing before any viewing.
International buyers
Can I buy without coming to Greece?
Yes. With video viewings and a power of attorney to a lawyer, the whole process can be done remotely.
What is the minimum investment for a Golden Visa?
The thresholds change with the law and differ by area. We brief you on the current ones in our first call.
