Property Inspection in Greece for Foreign Buyers
Independent property inspection before you sign
What Can Go Wrong — and Usually Does
Illegal Constructions
Unauthorized extensions, added floors and enclosed terraces are widespread in Greek property. Legally, these become the buyer's liability. We identify them. You decide whether to proceed.
Structural Problems Hidden by Renovation
Fresh paint and new tiles cover a lot. We look beyond the finish.
Permit Records That Don't Match the Building
The paperwork says one thing. The building is another. This mismatch is common and consequential.
Cost Surprises After Purchase
Buyers routinely underestimate remediation costs. We quantify them before you're committed.
Regions We Cover
We provide independent property inspections across all primary investment regions in Greece. Select your region for specific risk information and local coverage details.
