Golden Visa & Property Management

Overview of the Greek Golden Visa Program

• Personalized Property Search: Through our trusted network of real estate agents and developers, we help identify properties that meet Golden Visa criteria (e.g. minimum value and size) and match your preferences (location, type, rental yield potential). Whether you seek a vacation apartment in Athens or a seaside villa, we will find the right fit.
• Due Diligence & Legal Checks: As specialized property lawyers, we perform thorough due diligence on the selected property. This includes verifying legal title, ensuring there are no liens or debts on the property, checking zoning and permits, and reviewing any tenant or lease status. Our goal is to ensure your investment is secure and free of legal risks from the outset.
• Negotiation & Contracts: We represent your interests in price negotiations and craft the purchase agreements with meticulous attention to detail. All contracts are drafted bilingually if needed, and we explain
  every term to you before signing. We also handle the notary and Land Registry formalities, ensuring the deed transfer is properly completed under Greek law.

• Preparation of Documents: We compile and prepare all necessary documentation for the Golden Visa application. This includes application forms, proof of investment (contracts, payment receipts), passport copies, medical insurance for all family members, background checks, and photographs. Our familiarity with Greek immigration requirements means we know exactly what is needed to avoid delays.
• Submission & Follow-up: As your legal representative, we submit the residency application to the competent authorities in Greece on your behalf. We closely monitor its progress and keep you updated at each stage. Our office has extensive experience liaising with immigration officials, and we promptly address any additional requests for information
• Biometrics & Interviews: We schedule and facilitate the required biometric appointment (fingerprinting for the residence permit card). If an interview or additional steps are necessary, we will prepare you and even accompany you to ensure everything goes smoothly.
• Fast-Track Process: Thanks to our expertise and up-to-date knowledge of the system, we ensure your application is complete and error-free on the first submission. This proactive approach helps expedite approval. Greece has been increasing its processing capacity recently to meet high demand, with record numbers of applications processed per month, so timely submission is key.

• Tenant Sourcing & Screening: If you wish to rent out your property for income, we will help find reliable long-term tenants. Our team (and partners) advertise the property, conduct viewings, and vet prospective tenants thoroughly. We prioritize long-term leases in line with Golden Visa rules (note: short-term rentals like Airbnb are not permitted for Golden Visa properties). By securing quality tenants, we ensure you receive steady rental income legally and securely.
• Lease Management: We prepare and execute lease agreements, handle tenant check-in/check-out, and ensure all legal provisions (such as rent, security deposit, maintenance responsibilities) are clearly defined. As lawyers, we can enforce the terms of the lease and address any disputes or eviction processes if they ever arise.
• Bill Payment & Administration: Our office can manage ongoing obligations such as payment of property taxes, utility bills, condominium fees, and insurance on your behalf. We keep detailed records and provide you with periodic statements of accounts, so you remain fully informed of your property’s financial status
• Maintenance & Repairs: We coordinate regular maintenance (cleaning, gardening, etc.) and attend to any repair needs promptly using our network of trusted contractors. From plumbing fixes to renovation or furnishing projects, we supervise all works to protect your interests. Your property’s value and condition will be maintained, even while you are overseas.ό.

• Legal Excellence: We are fully licensed attorneys with specialization in property and immigration law, ensuring every aspect of your case is handled with legal rigor. Unlike agencies that might outsource legal work, we provide in-house expertise from start to finish.
• End-to-End Service: From the initial consultation to years after your purchase, we are a single point of contact for all your needs. This turnkey approach means you avoid juggling multiple intermediaries – we coordinate lawyers, realtors, notaries, and accountants on your behalf.
• Experience with International Clients: We have successfully represented clients from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. Our inclusion in the lawyers’ directories of foreign embassies in Greece attests to our global outlook and trustworthiness. We understand the expectations of international investors and communicate clearly at every step.
• Tailored Solutions: Your goals drive our strategy. Whether your priority is obtaining the residency permit quickly, maximizing rental yield, or planning for future citizenship, we tailor our services to meet your objectives.
