Before buying property in Greece there are some steps that must be taken to ensure that the property you are purchasing is secure and legal to prevent any problems in the future.
It is important to have a lawyer to help you through all the legal steps.
The most important are
Step 1. To have a topography plan drawn, up stating the size of the land and / or house.
Step 2. The topography paper is taken to a Notary together with the owner of the land.
All the information of the property is in this office. It will be checked how many people own the land,
if it is being used as collateral to the bank, if all the tax owing on the land has been paid,
also if the present owner is allowed to make a contract.
If all is in order
Step 3. The topography paper is then taken to your own architect who will draw up a plan of the land / house.
He will measure the land and if you want to build a house how many square meters are permitted on the land.
Step4. With all the paper work completed to your satisfaction, you return to the Notary office with your lawyer to make the contract of the sale of the property.
