How to Sell Your Property in Greece

A step by step guide for selling a property in Greece privately.

Prepare your documents

Collect the documents typically required in Greece: title deed, topographic plan, building permit history, energy certificate (EPC), identification, and certificates proving no planning or tax issues. Lawyers usually request these early.

Set a realistic asking price

Compare recent sales in your area and consider factors such as renovation status, land size, sea views, and proximity to villages or beaches. Prices vary significantly between islands, mainland regions, and urban centres like Athens.

Create strong photos and a clear description

Show terraces, outdoor space, sea or mountain views, and any traditional features. International buyers often rely on photos to understand layout, condition, and access before committing to travel.

List your property online

Greece attracts buyers from the UK, Germany, France, the US, and Scandinavia. Highlight location advantages such as beach distance, village amenities, ferry or airport access, and suitability for holiday or year-round living.

Respond quickly to enquiries

Many buyers plan short trips to Greece to view several properties at once. Prompt replies help ensure your property remains on their shortlist.

Arrange viewings & accept an offer

Viewings are usually arranged in advance, especially on islands with limited travel schedules. When an offer is accepted, the buyer’s lawyer will request documents to begin legal and cadastral checks.

Complete the sale with a lawyer and notary

The lawyer prepares the contract and performs due-diligence checks, while the notary oversees the final deed transfer. Outstanding taxes and utilities must be settled before signing.

Selling a property in Greece in 2025

To help you sell your home in Greece we've put together a guide to give an understanding of the current market conditions. Before getting started, it’s important to be aware of how the Greek property market is performing and the key trends influencing it today.

Key Trends & Market Overview

Greek property prices are rising, but growth is moderating. In early 2025, the national average asking price rose by ~8.8 % year-on-year and ~3.1 % quarter-on-quarter.
According to the European Banking Authority and other forecasts, house‐price growth is expected at about 4.4% in 2025, then settling to ~3.4% annually through 2027.
On the investment side: The property market in Greece is attractive to both domestic and foreign buyers, especially in high-demand areas.
Supply is somewhat constrained: especially new builds are fewer in some segments, which supports prices.

Regional / Segment Variations

Urban vs tourist/holiday property markets differ significantly in Greece: prime areas (e.g., the Greek Islands such as Crete and Corfu, coastal zones, premium Athens suburbs) are seeing stronger demand and higher pricing.
Example price ranges (2025 estimates):
- In Athens southern suburbs: ~ €4,000/m² (and up) for prime spots.
- In some less-tourist interior or “emerging” island zones: significantly lower — maybe €1,500-3,000/m² depending on location.
Northern Greece is cited as having slightly higher growth potential (up to ~9%) compared with national average.

Demand Drivers

Some of the key factors shaping demand in Greece:

Foreign buyers and second-homes: Many non-Greek nationals are buying for lifestyle or investment (holiday lets, etc).
Lifestyle / remote work shift: Greek Properties in scenic, coastal or island locations are increasingly attractive for remote working or “lifestyle relocation”.
Tourism / short-term rentals: In holiday destinations there is strong demand for holiday‐lets, which drives up demand for certain property types.
Limited new supply: While demand holds, in many areas new building or supply of “good quality” properties is slower, which supports upward price pressure.

Risks & Considerations

Affordability & growth moderation: Though growth is positive, the annual rates are expected to moderate and sustainability matters more. Sellers should not assume double-digit growth indefinitely.
Regional risk differentiation: Not all areas grow equally. Some interior or less desirable zones may lag.
Regulation & policy shifts: For example, rules around short-term rentals are tightening in some cities.
Quality of product matters: Particularly for foreign buyers / investment buyers: condition, documentation, amenities, sea-view/location all matter. Lower-quality properties may lag.
Financing / interest rates / taxes: Although Greece has favourable conditions in some ways, local issues (taxes, transfer costs, bureaucracy) still matter for sellers and buyers.

Selling property in Greece FAQs

Do I need a notary to sell a property in Greece?

Yes. Property sales in Greece must be completed before a notary, who prepares and formalises the transfer.

What documents are required to sell a property in Greece?

Sellers typically need the title deed, land registry extract, energy certificate, tax clearance, ID, and property tax (ENFIA) documentation.

How long does it take to sell a property in Greece?

Once a buyer is found, completion often takes several weeks to a few months, depending on legal checks and documentation.

Is a deposit paid when an offer is accepted in Greece?

Yes. A deposit is commonly paid when signing a preliminary agreement, with the balance paid at completion before the notary.

Can I sell my Greek property to a foreign buyer?

Yes. Greece allows property sales to foreign buyers, though some areas may require additional permissions depending on location.

Do I need an energy certificate to sell a property in Greece?

Yes. An energy performance certificate is required and must be provided to buyers.

What taxes do I pay when selling a property in Greece?

Sellers may be liable for capital gains tax, subject to exemptions or suspensions depending on current legislation.

Should I list my property in euros or another currency?

Properties in Greece are typically listed in euros; international platforms may also show converted prices for reference.

What information do international buyers expect in a Greek listing?

Clear location details, legal status, property size, building permits, energy rating, and running costs.

Note: This is general information, not legal advice. Requirements can vary by property type and situation.

Implications for Sellers

Pricing strategy: Use realistic and current comparable sales — price growth is good but not runaway. Be conservative if your property isn’t in a "prime hotspot."
Highlight asset quality: If the property has sea-views, is in a desirable island/coastal zone, or is high quality and ready to let, emphasise these — these are the strong demand drivers.
Document & condition focus: Because quality, documentation and location matter more now than ever for securing top price.
Expect longer horizon: While buyers exist, expect that not all leads will convert quickly — some buyers wait for exactly the right asset.
Marketing angle: For non-Greek/international buyers — emphasise lifestyle, market stability, rental yield potential — but also transparency about local costs, taxes, legal process.
Segment-aware guide: Tailor your guide to segments (e.g., holiday home vs permanent residence vs investment rental) because the drivers differ.
Region matters: If you’re in a less-known zone or interior, your strategy might differ (focus on value, renovation potential, future growth) compared with a “hot” coastal/island zone.
