Frequently asked questions
What buyers in Greece want to know.
Does title insurance replace the work of a notary?
No. Your notary, legal adviser and title insurance have different roles. The policy can provide additional cover for specific insurable risks from the past.
Is title insurance mandatory in Greece?
It is generally not required by law. It can be valuable for complex ownership histories, international purchases or higher-value investments.
How does it differ from the seller’s warranty?
A seller warranty is contractual. Title insurance is a separate insurance contract with defined coverage and an insurer behind it.
What issues are commonly found in a title review?
Examples include incomplete transfers, liens, inconsistent documentation or historic registry mistakes. Each case is assessed individually for insurability.
How long does the review take?
With complete documents, it often takes five to ten business days. Historic or rural properties may require more time.
Does the policy cover building defects?
No. Construction quality, permits and technical defects are not automatically part of title insurance and need their own investigation.
Can I get a policy while buying from abroad?
Yes. We structure the process digitally and coordinate original documents, translations and powers of attorney early.
What happens if a covered issue arises?
You report the matter under the policy. The insurer reviews coverage and, depending on the contract, coordinates a legal defence or agreed benefit.
