Services

GoldGreece is not just another Greek real estate agent.

 

Most agents in Greece, are aware of certain markets (regions), but their knowledge is limited to the property transfer and are not capable of providing a piece of advice, concerning the advantages and drawbacks which accompany a property purchase.

From the other hand, we do understand that potential investors are interested to know what a property acquisition would mean in terms of added value creation, tax burdens and maintenance costs. GoldGreece is powered by TaxExperts, a boutique Financial and Tax consulting firm, so a team of experts have the required knowledge and experience to facilitate your dream in all stages.

More analytically, the services provided to high net worth individuals and companies are:

 

1. Property Selection

Identifying buying opportunities could be very tricky. Is Glyfada a better value for money than Vouliagmeni ? Is Mykonos still overvalued ? Will Crete appreciate more than Corfu ? Why I shouldn’t buy an amazing cheap apartment in a small island ?

The region selection is a quite complicated case, as there are developing areas expected to offer greater returns than the real estate market in the near future (Peloponnese Peninsula, Cephalonia, Crete, even regions in the center of Athens) and prestigious areas (Vouliagmeni, Kifisia, Mykonos, Rhodes) which maintain and increase their value over time.

The residence type is also of much importance. Apartments ‘get older’ and lose their value much faster than country villas and detached houses. In addition, villas offer a great number of facilities such as playroom, pool, garden, which beautify your holidays or your stay in general.

Our team of experts can provide you with useful advice during the property selection, in accordance with your needs, your budget available and the time horizon of the investment.

 

2. Valuation

The correct valuation and the determination of the property’s ‘fair’ price comprise key points before a purchase. Quantitative and qualitative factors are taken under consideration during pricing. The building’s and plot’s size are the main quantitative variables, while the region, the distance of means of transport, the existence or not of a fireplace or a pool are some of the most significant qualitative variables.

Moreover, the income that can be produced by property as well as the necessary maintenance cost should be taken into account during valuation.

Our executives may compose an opinion of value for a property you already own or for a property you admire to acquire, based on specific property’s characteristics and comparable transactions that took place in area concerned.

 

3. Tax planning

Times said that “Greece is an investment hell”. We just say that they should have employed the TaxExperts.

It is true that the Greek legal framework governing properties and taxation is really confusing, because several Laws refer to almost the same things and the Laws are modified continuously.

However, Greek bureaucracy can be easily stepped aside with TaxExperts. We undertake:

a)    The calculation of all conveyance and acquisition costs,

b)    The calculation of all annual taxes and assessment of the payable municipality fees in advance,

c)     The arrangement of all paperwork during the asset acquisition (notaries, contract, Tax Authorities, registration in National Cadastre etc)

The above services can be also provided to companies plus:
