Understanding the Greek Property Registry (Ktimatologio)
The Greek property registration system, known as the Ktimatologio, is the official land registry where all property transactions, ownership rights, and encumbrances are recorded. Proper registration is essential to establish legal ownership and prevent disputes. If a property is not registered correctly, you may face legal and financial complications.
Why is Property Registration in Greece Important?
•Ensures Legal Ownership – Registering your property confirms your legal rights, preventing future disputes.
•Protects Against Third-Party Claims – Avoid issues such as adverse possession or fraudulent claims.
•Facilitates Inheritance Transfers – Properly registered property simplifies inheritance procedures for your heirs.
•Enables Property Transactions – Selling or leasing property requires verified ownership records.
How to Verify and Register Property in Greece
If you are unsure about the status of your Greek property or need to register it, our legal team will conduct a thorough property investigation and guide you through the registration process.
Step 1: Conduct a Property Title Search
A property title search ensures that the property is registered under your name and that no legal claims or encumbrances exist. Our team:
•Retrieves ownership records from the Greek Land Registry (Ktimatologio) and Mortgage Office.
• Checks for outstanding debts, liens, or legal disputes.
• Verifies historical ownership to confirm clear title.
Step 2: Obtain and Review Legal Documents
