Property Investments
As real estate development flourishes again in Greece after the longtime crisis, real estate legal practitioners had to use “old tools” innovatively to provide answers to new challenges.
Our law office as well as the experience of our real estate associates and the whole legal grid around them, were made us among the leaders at this field, because we were part at some of the most important transactions of these years.
We support our assignors at every step of the transfer of a property, whether it is an urban one or for a business’s office or for vacation.
In particular, we undertake property title checks in any land registry or registry office in Greece, informing our client in writing of the results of the audit.
We work with notaries to prepare every transfer procedure, the pre-contract, the final contract of each sale, as well as the registration of the property in the land registry service.
Also, if buyers are not Greek, we undertake their tax representation, tax identification number, special permits, residence permits or visas, as well as any necessary public service or private document.
We support our principals either in obtaining bank financing and any other action necessary to impose guarantees, or in eliminating existing real estate guarantees of interest to them.
We are actively involved in negotiations between sellers and purchasers, offering legal support, if it is necessary, and we represent our clients in all kinds of property related cases that are of interest to the Greek courts, facing problems with land, real estate, and inheritance law.
Greece is a famous holiday and tourism country, with the result that Greek properties were presented with a lot of opportunities especially today for both Europeans and third-country nationals, especially coastal or island real estate.
Our office supports legally the acquisition or sale of such properties in a systematic and highly professional manner.
Moreover, we can add our services relating to the rental of real estate for residential, business or tourist purposes, providing at the same time the best guarantees that we are capable of managing each property professionally, with specialized consultants or engineers or special crews, especially when the owners are outside Greece and problems came out.
In addition to contracts for the letting of property, there are many issues arising from lease agreements, especially in courts, which we are able to handle with the best prospects for success for our principals.
