Frequently asked questions
What does legal due diligence on a Greek property examine
The review normally examines the available ownership records, registered encumbrances and relevant cadastral information. Technical and planning compliance requires a separate review by a qualified engineer.
Can an overseas buyer purchase property in Greece
In many cases yes, although the buyer's nationality, the location of the property, financing and residence objectives may create additional requirements. The structure should be confirmed before commitments are signed.
Why should the lawyer review a reservation or preliminary agreement
These documents may create payment obligations, deadlines or forfeiture risk. Review before signature helps align the terms with the due-diligence process and completion conditions.
