What you should consider if you want a home in Greece that serves both
as a place to live and as a long‑term investment.

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.
