A step away from a dream house in Greece
Greece’s natural beauty, culture, art, reliable summer weather and the nightlife that rocks attracts millions of tourist. Millions? Oh come on? Uh-uh. Greece accommodates seventeen million tourists from January to August 2007. Imagine that? Tourist who had a taste of Greece’s bounty and lifestyle came back and buy a piece of what Greece could offer. But, making a dream come true in Greece could also turn into a nightmare if you don’t know the steps in buying a house or property in Italy. Granting that the “what, where, when and how” questions are already settled there is still one big secret in buying and making a dream house in Italy, or you’d better choose another option as in a more temporary solution like Buenos Aires vacation rentals.
Our first concern is to know what kind of house and where to buy it in Italy. We could have choices from townhouses, single houses or condominiums. The next step would be to know where in Italy you are going to buy your house. I suggest that you surf on the net to know what Greece has to offer. You may even see pictures of your future home. You may want to see Cyclades island first. Remember that Antissa or Vatousa properties are more cheaply compared to the underdeveloped property in Gavatha in Lesvos because they are near to the beach. But I don’t recommend you buying a house without really seeing and visiting it.
After finding where to buy a place, the next thing to do is hire a lawyer who could help you. There are laws regarding the hiring of lawyers depending on the price of a property but just to make sure that indeed the property is safe and without hassles, you need to hire a trusted lawyer. The hiring of the lawyer is important because the lawyer will research on the title of the land or about the property. You can actually do nothing on the property if it is designated Alpha Category by the Official of the Ministry Of Archaeology or the property comes with 100 crazy relatives spread all over Europe.
The Symvoliographo is the most significant person in the process of buying a house. They are our security measures. They assured us the t’s are crossed and the i’s dotted. After this it is time to pay our taxes. Take note that the buyer pays the taxes while the seller pays nothing at all.
As you notice the buying of a house in Greece is within the grasp of the dreamer. Yet, the best sure way of making those as easy as it can be is to hire a trusted lawyer friend to help you do all those things. It may sound simple to do all these yet with a language barrier it may end your Greece’ dream into a nightmare.
