If you ever considered buying real estate, then you probably aware that the final cost may vary. But what about Greece? How much expences can you meet after the final deal? Find out in a short, but useful article on Prian.
All additional costs are calculated from the market value of the property specified in the contract. In rare cases, if the cadastral value is higher than the market one, all additional payments are calculated from the cadastral value, except for the services of a realtor. Such services are always paid from the market value of the object.
The lawyer's fee is approximately 1.5% of the property cost. Usually the buyer pays additional services (such as legal analysis of the transaction in non-standard situations) separately. This amount includes preparing documents and translations.
Notary expenses are usually 1.5% of the contract value of the property.
The real estate agent’s commission is up to 2% of the transaction amount. Rarely, agencies do not charge a commission, if you purchase property directly from the developer.
In Greece you have to pay a tax on the transfer of ownership, when you buy real estate. There are two tax rates:
3.09% (was 10% before January 1, 2014) on real estate from developers, the construction permit for which was issued before January 1, 2006, as well as on all properties from private owners (regardless of the date of issuance of the construction permit).
24% on real estate from developers, if the construction permit was received later than the date specified in the previous paragraph.
State registration fees are 0.6% of the contract price of a property or from the cadastral value, if it is higher than the amount specified in the contract.
