How buying property in Greece actually works

June 25 @ 3:30 pm 4:30 pm BST

You’ve found a region you love, maybe even a property that feels right, and you’re starting to think seriously about making an offer. Then you realise you don’t yet have a Greek tax number, you’re not sure what legal checks need to happen before you commit, and you have no clear picture of what the full costs will look like once everything is added up.

In this free, 30-minute webinar, a property lawyer and a currency specialist will walk you through the complete process of buying property in Greece as an overseas buyer.

You’ll come away knowing:

  • The legal checks that must be completed before any offer becomes binding
  • How to confirm clear title and that a property has no outstanding debts or planning issues
  • The key stages from offer to completion, including the role of preliminary contracts
  • What transfer tax, legal fees and notary costs to budget for beyond the purchase price
  • How exchange rate movements can affect the total cost of your purchase
  • The difference between using a bank and a currency specialist for international transfers
  • How to protect your budget using tools such as forward contracts
  • The most common mistakes that cause delays or derail transactions in Greece

There’ll also be time for your own questions.
