When buying property in Greece, title deeds are the most important legal document.
What is a Title Deed?
It proves official ownership of a property and includes:
-
Exact boundaries and size
-
Ownership history
-
Registered rights or restrictions
It must match records in the Hellenic Land Registry.
Why verification is critical
Your lawyer checks for:
-
Mortgages
-
Liens or debts
-
Court claims
-
Co-ownership disputes
If issues exist, they must be resolved before you buy.
Digital registry modernization
Greece has updated most land records into a secure digital database — making title checks clearer and faster.
Final Tip
Never rely solely on seller information — always confirm the property’s legal status independently.
