Why International Buyers Choose Greece

Greece offers a rare combination of European Union stability, Mediterranean lifestyle and comparatively affordable property prices. The Peloponnese in particular remains under international radar, making it attractive for early investors.

​

Acquisition Costs

When purchasing property in Greece, buyers should anticipate additional acquisition costs beyond the purchase price.

Typical costs include:

• Property Transfer Tax – approx. 3%

• Legal Representation – approx. 1–1.5%

• Notary & Registration Fees – approx. 1–1.5%

• Engineering inspection depending on property

• Administrative setup costs

​

​

Tax Number & Bank Account

Foreign buyers must obtain a Greek tax number (AFM) and open a local bank account. This process can be completed remotely through legal representation.

The International Desk coordinates this process with trusted professionals.

​

Renovation Reality in Greece

Many properties in the Peloponnese require renovation. While this presents opportunity, successful projects depend on technical evaluation, realistic budgeting and local coordination.

Rental Potential

Short-term and seasonal rentals have increased demand across coastal Peloponnese regions. Buyers should evaluate accessibility, local regulations and management solutions before investing.

​

 Golden Visa Program

Greece’s Golden Visa program remains one of Europe’s most accessible residency options for non-EU investors. Eligibility requirements vary by region and property value.
