Investment home in Greece for living and return

In recent years many visitors from abroad have been looking for a base in Greece that offers comfortable living and a stable presence in the country. In practice, this means a home that meets specific criteria of value, location and construction quality.

The clearer your goal – personal use, hosting family, frequent visits or long‑term stay – the better the property can be designed and the right solution chosen.

1. Minimum sizes and construction quality

For a home that must also meet institutional or residency requirements, very small apartments are often not sufficient. A minimum floor area and clear residential use are usually required, with fully functional main spaces (living room, bedrooms, bathrooms) rather than only auxiliary areas.

2. Location and access to key infrastructure

Location plays a double role: it affects daily life – proximity to airport, port, hospitals, schools – and also shapes the perceived value of the investment. Areas with good transport links, strong tourist appeal and a stable legal framework are usually the most attractive.

3. Legal status and clear planning documentation

For a property that will support long‑term plans, legality is non‑negotiable. Complete contracts, updated land registry entries, regularisation of any irregularities and a full permit file are required – and are often explicitly requested during property evaluation.

4. Flexible use and hosting

Many buyers want a home that can be used both for their own stays and for hosting relatives or partners, without constant changes in layout. A properly designed guest suite, an independent level or a separate entrance can significantly increase usability.

5. Long‑term planning and technical support

An investment home is not a simple purchase. It requires a technical team that understands both construction details and the regulatory framework, especially when the owner lives abroad. Proper organisation of the file, regular updates and continuous supervision reduce the risk of mistakes and delays.

When a home is designed from the outset as a life investment, it can offer security, stability and the possibility to return to Greece whenever you need it.
