Why an independent property lawyer matters in Greece
Greek title quality varies, especially on islands and older rural plots, and the cadastre (Κτηματολόγιο) is still being completed in places. An independent lawyer runs the title search at the land registry, confirms there are no encumbrances, and checks the property is correctly registered before you pay.
How to verify a property lawyer in Greece
In Greece, use an independent dikigóros (lawyer) registered with a local Bar Association (Δικηγορικός Σύλλογος). Lawyer involvement in property due diligence is standard practice.
Typical fees
Typically 1–2% of the price.
The mistake to avoid
Skipping the title check at the cadastre/land registry. Unclear title is the biggest risk in Greek property, and only an independent lawyer's search will surface it.
