Property Inspection in Athens for Foreign Buyers
Why Athens Presents Specific Risks
Athens and Attica combine high transaction volume with significant permit complexity. The city's rapid post-war expansion produced large volumes of construction with inconsistent permit documentation. Unauthorized enclosures, converted spaces and undocumented square meters are common across all price brackets - from central apartments to suburban villas.

Common Issues Found in Athens Properties
Enclosed balconies and terraces added without permits are among the most frequent findings. Basement conversions, additional mezzanine levels and extended footprints beyond approved plans are also common. In coastal Attica - Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, Varkiza - corrosion exposure compounds structural risk in older buildings.
