Not everyone is capable of navigating the intricacies and nuances of legislation, especially when it comes to another country, such as Greece. Going through all the hoops, correctly processing documents, and conducting transactions in a way that avoids being deceived can be quite challenging. To ensure that the process of purchasing property goes as smoothly as possible, without any unpleasant surprises, it’s advisable to seek advice from a specialist. Professional assistance in buying property in Crete is simply indispensable. It’s impossible to take into account all the nuances and peculiarities of the transaction on your own.

The benefits of turning to a specialist are evident. A specialist is knowledgeable about the market situation, knowing the approximate value of properties. They will analyze the apartment or house you’ve chosen, determine whether its price is inflated, and verify the legal purity of the transaction. A lawyer will draw up the sales contract, oversee and document the procedure for transferring the deposit. Greek law requires those interested in having a power of attorney issued by a lawyer.
