Start with the property itself

Request identifying details, the acquisition deed and available cadastral documents. The aim is to connect the property you have seen with the rights and entries to be reviewed. Differences in description, surface area or right holders need clarification.

Coordinate legal and technical checks

Review of title, encumbrances and registered entries addresses different questions from a technical and planning inspection. Coordination between lawyer, notary and engineer allows findings to be considered before the transaction terms are finalised.

Examine the deposit terms

Before transferring money, clarify in writing its purpose, the conditions of the purchase and what happens if the checks identify a problem. Also consider the timetable, expenses and documents each party is expected to provide.

Follow the transaction through to completion

The digital property-transfer file organises documents and the process through the notary, as described on gov.gr. Ask for a clear explanation of the steps remaining after signature, registration and the final records you should receive.
