Greek Property Readiness
Start your journey on solid ground. We clear the red tape so you can focus on the dream.
Our community survey revealed that 81% of Greek-Australians feel stuck in a “bureaucratic black hole.” The biggest reason most people fail to buy is that they start at the wrong end of the process. Without a “Clear Identity” in the eyes of the Greek government, you cannot legally sign a contract, open a utility account, or even pay a deposit safely.
You shouldn’t need a law degree to buy a home in your village. We provide a Melbourne-based coordination service that syncs with Greek Notaries and Authorities. We ensure your documentation meets the strict requirements of Greek Law—from AFM tax numbers to citizenship papers—before you invest a single Euro in travel or property fees.

FAQ
Getting Ready to Buy Property in Greece
-
Do I need a Greek ID to buy property in Greece?
You can buy as a foreign resident, but having your Greek ID often reduces your required deposit from 35% to 20%. We help you navigate both paths.
-
What is an AFM, and why do I need it?
It is your Greek Tax Registry Number. It is mandatory for any property transaction, utility connection, or bank account opening.
-
Can I open a Greek bank account from Australia?
Yes. We facilitate the necessary paperwork and certifications in Australia so your account is ready for fund transfers.
-
How long does it take to get a Greek AFM from Australia?
While it can take months alone, our coordinated approach streamlines the process to a few weeks.
-
Can a family member in Greece open a bank account for me?
Generally, no. Modern anti-money laundering laws require specific personal identification protocols, which we facilitate through professional channels.
