Useful information
Frequently asked questions
These answers are general. Every matter is assessed on its facts and the documents available.
Why is legal due diligence important before buying property?
It helps confirm the seller’s title, the property’s legal history and any registered burdens or outstanding issues before the buyer becomes legally committed.
Which documents are needed for an initial property legal review?
For an initial assessment, useful documents include the seller’s title deed, information identifying the property and, where available, the cadastral sheet, cadastral diagram extract and any draft contract. The complete list is confirmed after the particular transaction has been reviewed.
What does a property lawyer check before a purchase in Greece?
The review covers the title and legal history of the property, registered burdens or claims and the contractual terms of the transaction. Its scope is tailored to the particular property and buyer.
Do you draft or review lease agreements?
Yes. The lease can be reviewed and tailored to the type of tenancy and the needs of the parties.
Can you assist with a landlord–tenant dispute?
