What is the purchase procedure for property here in Greece?
The purchase procedure is very simple and straight forward here in Greece. Once you have selected your property you appoint a lawyer (An English speaking property lawyer can be recommended if you like, by us) to act on your behalf once power of attorney has been given. Your attorney will check that your property is legal and free of any debts. Once this is finalized your attorney will obtain your local tax number on your behalf, required in Greece in order to purchase property. Completion of the process normally takes between 4-6 weeks. The final contract can be signed on your behalf by your attorney in front of the public notary.
