In recent years, there is a growing investment interest from both Greeks and foreigners to buy real estate in Greece because Greece has very good climatic conditions, low cost of living, excellent quality of life, rich history and culture and all the necessary infrastructure for the attraction of Greek and foreign buyers in the market of main and holiday homes. We undertake Greeks, foreigners and Greek expatriates abroad as well as Real Estate companies in terms of buying and selling and investing in real estate in Greece.
It is worth noting that according to the international rating agency Fitch, the inflow of foreign capital from real estate sales in 2013 reached 168 million Euros, an amount which is about 50% above the same figures for 2012. In this context, there is strong demand for Holiday homes in Greece not only by residents of the European Union but also by Chinese and Russians, who seek to benefit from obtaining a residence permit granted to investors who invest at least 250,000 Euros in real estate. In addition, from January 2014, the transfer tax for buyers was reduced from 11% to 3%.
Our team provides a complete package of services regarding the purchase and management of real estate. We work with real estate agents, notaries, engineers and accountants in order to provide a secure trading environment and absolute transparency, both during the negotiation stage and during the legal and technical control for the purchase and sale, as well as full legal coverage after the transfer is completed.
