Thalatta.realty is dedicated to large real estate projects related or being part of any business investment, big or small. Such properties, often are intended for hospitality city or resort projects of an LCET (Luxury Curated Experience Touring) character, often including yachting investing, sometimes including condominiums associated to a hotel business. Large real estate investments in Greece often also refer to Athens or Thessaloniki housing or office developments and commercial projects and even urban inner city redevelopments, while many investments are intended as industrial spaces and logistics and industrial level storage facilities.
These types of projects, would attract very substantial co-financing, possibly equity financing and certainly Greek bank lending on extremely beneficial for the borrower terms, while any such financing would be greatly augmented via subsidised interest, subsidised wages and HSS related costs and a very dynamic, environment related and international promotion connected, subsidies’ program, financed by the GG (Greek Government) and the EU.
The TTUK team of experts would consult, advise and facilitate investors in every step of their Greek projects, including bank mortgaging or bank lending facilitation and GG and EU programs applications.

Choosing is easy. You choose what you like! Deciding what to buy and going the right way about it anywhere in the world, is less automatic. There are some basic points we advise to adhere to, religiously.
It is usual in Greece for estate agents to try to get commission both from the seller and the buyer. This is something anyone should try to avoid, since allowing it, is equivalent to exonerating an obvious conflict of interest. You should aim to have an advisor, working only for you. And if this is to be THALATTA.homes, we would be delighted. If not, well …. at least we have given you the best advice, as we always do.
Whatever property you buy, wherever and whenever you are planning to buy it, have first a survey conducted, by a qualified civil engineer, who would check both the actual structural condition of the property, as a building, as well as, the property’s full compliance with its Planning Licence, based on which, the property was permitted to be built. It is pivotal, for an earthquake prone country like Greece, that its structural condition is in perfectly good order and that its Planning Consent has been perfectly adhere to. A building’s anti-earthquake rules and compliances demanded in Greece, are amongst the stricter in the world. Hence, despite Greece being as earthquake prone, as most other countries in the region, there are no post-1950s buildings’ earthquake connected collapses or fatal casualties in Greece.
In Greece, every transfer of property, whether buying or selling, must be prepared, effected and registered by one of the State-licensed, Notary Publics. A solicitor is not always mandatory by Law, but it is strongly advised, for only a solicitor can conduct a proper and timely conveyancing of the titles of the property and whether there are any liens on the property – hopefully none.
Last, but not least, examine the option of buying the property you have chosen, not in your physical name or anyone else’s, but in the name of a company belonging or being controlled by you, instead. We can advise you on this too.
