Questions before you book
Do I need a Golden Visa to buy property in Greece?
No. Foreign buyers can purchase Greek property at any price without applying for a residence permit. The Golden Visa is an optional benefit that attaches above €250,000, €400,000 or €800,000 depending on the route and location. Plenty of our enquiries are pure yield or lifestyle purchases well below any tier.
What is a realistic net rental yield in Greece?
Gross yields run roughly 4.4% to 5.4% nationally, with Athens apartments at the higher end. Net lands 1.5 to 2.5 points lower once you model ENFIA, the 15% starting rental income tax band, 20% to 25% management and 4 to 6 weeks of vacancy. Our rental yield calculator runs the same arithmetic.
Should I buy resale or off-plan in Greece?
Resale accounts for the large majority of foreign purchases and carries less delivery risk, but more legalisation and condition risk. Off-plan offers new-build quality and VAT-suspension treatment, at the cost of developer and completion risk that a bank guarantee only partly covers. The right answer depends on your timeline, not on a general rule.
What does the consultation actually give me?
A call to align budget, region and goal, then three to five properties screened against your criteria, with the cost stack modelled and the legal sequence set out. If nothing on the market fits your criteria, we say so rather than sending a shortlist anyway.
Buying for yield rather than residency? Start with the rental yield guide, the yield calculator, and highest-yield areas. Chasing a residence permit instead? The Golden Visa consultation is the right desk.
