- Know your budget. (Add about 10% to 15% on top of the purchase
price for the legal fees and local taxes.)
- View all available properties in the area within your budget.
(not just the ones you like the look of)
- Make an offer (sometimes a deposit is required at this stage
to set the price, this is normally about 10% of the purchase price.
The deposit will be returned if the sale falls through because
of incorrect paperwork or licenses, if the seller pulls out the
deposit is doubled and returned to the buyer, if the buyer pulls
out the deposit stays with the seller).
- Get a lawyer. (There are a few that speak good English, we
can recommend some to you). Check if you will need a Greek Tax
Number.
- Meet with the Notary. (this is the equivalent of a conveyancer,
they will deal with all the paperwork and licenses). (Again we
can introduce you to English speaking Notaries). You will need
copies of your passports, the names of your parents, and normally
Greek Tax Numbers.
- Make sure the paperwork is in order and that you will have
copies of all the licenses pertaining to your property.
- Meet with Lawyer, Notary, seller in Nortarties office and have
the contract read to you in English, pay the balance of the money,
