frequently asked questions

What if I want to renovate immediately?2026-02-19T20:14:15+02:00

Your purchase should be aligned with a realistic permitting and feasibility plan before you commit.

Is Serifos suitable for development?2026-02-19T20:13:56+02:00

It depends on zoning, access, plot characteristics, and restrictions—feasibility must be verified early.

Can I buy remotely?2026-02-19T20:13:29+02:00

Often yes via power of attorney—your lawyer coordinates steps and deliverables.

Do I need a lawyer if the seller seems reputable?2026-02-19T20:13:07+02:00

Yes. Risk is in the asset documentation, not just the seller’s intentions.

Should I avoid protected areas entirely?2026-02-19T14:43:57+02:00

Not necessarily—but you must price restrictions and timeline risk correctly.

Do I need a lawyer if I have an engineer?2026-02-19T14:43:40+02:00

Yes. Engineering solves technical feasibility; legal ensures ownership, rights, compliance, and transferability.

What is the biggest early-stage mistake?2026-02-19T14:43:23+02:00

Spending on design before verifying legal feasibility (title, access, zoning, cadastre).

Can I develop anywhere in the Cyclades if I buy land?2026-02-19T14:43:04+02:00

No. Buildability depends on zoning, access, plot characteristics, and restrictions.

What’s the biggest mistake buyers make?2026-02-18T10:11:25+02:00

Paying deposits early without conditions and assuming permits/registration will “work out.”

Can I buy remotely?2026-02-18T10:10:54+02:00

Often yes, via power of attorney—structure and deliverables must be precise.

How do I verify an off-market deal is real?2026-02-18T10:10:37+02:00

Start with ownership confirmation and minimum documentation before serious negotiation.

Are off-market properties cheaper?2026-02-18T10:10:16+02:00

Sometimes, but not always. The real advantage is access and negotiation control—not guaranteed discounts.

Is land always developable if it’s for sale?2026-02-18T09:27:02+02:00

No. Development depends on zoning, access, environmental constraints, and permit feasibility.

What if the cadastre doesn’t match reality?2026-02-18T09:26:45+02:00

Your lawyer will assess fixability vs risk and recommend renegotiation, contractual protection, or withdrawal.

Can I buy without being in Greece?2026-02-18T09:26:23+02:00

In many cases yes, but structure and eligibility depend on the specific call and entity setup.

What triggers clawbacks most frequently?2026-02-18T00:09:11+02:00

Documentation and procurement failures, unauthorized changes, and cost eligibility problems.

Do I need a lawyer if a consultant handles the application?2026-02-18T00:08:51+02:00

Often yes. Consultants optimize scoring; lawyers protect enforceability, compliance, and dispute position.

Can foreign investors acquire Greek energy projects?2026-02-17T15:40:14+02:00

Yes—structure, compliance, and contractual bankability are the key.

What is the biggest “make or break” factor?2026-02-17T15:39:53+02:00

Often grid connection terms + timing, and permit clarity in an M&A context.

Do I need an energy lawyer if I already have an engineer/developer?2026-02-17T15:39:29+02:00

Yes—technical feasibility and legal bankability are different problems.

Can foreign investors buy hotels in Greece?2026-02-17T14:35:05+02:00

Yes—structure and compliance are the key issues, not ownership eligibility.

What documents should I request early?2026-02-17T14:34:31+02:00

Title records, permits, licensing status, key contracts, and a clear operating snapshot.
