When purchasing existing property in Greece, the buyer pays a property transfer tax (FMA) of 3% of the value, plus a municipal surcharge of 0.09%, totaling 3.09%. For a primary residence, there is a tax‑free threshold: for a single buyer — €200,000, for a family — €250,000 plus €25,000 per child. If the property exceeds the threshold, tax is paid only on the excess amount.
Notary fees — approximately 1% of the property value. Registration fees (cadastre) — 0.5% of the value. Legal support — 0.5–1% of the value.
VAT on new builds is suspended until December 31, 2026. For existing properties, this tax does not apply.
The final transaction amount, including all fees, is calculated individually and provided before the contract is signed.
Annual expenses: property tax (ENFIA). In 2026, for primary residences in municipalities of up to 1,500 inhabitants with a value of up to €400,000, a 50% reduction applies. Since the property is located in the Athens metropolitan area, the exact rate should be confirmed at the date of the transaction. The municipal tax (TAP) is also payable.

The seller may classify the property under the Greece Golden Visa program. In 2026, the minimum investment threshold for areas of Attica (including Kefalari), Thessaloniki, Mykonos, and Santorini is €800,000. A single‑property purchase is possible.

- Those seeking property in a prestigious green area of Athens.
- Buyers who value preserved historical elements (stone façade, fireplace) combined with modern renovation.
May not be suitable for
- If your budget does not exceed €1,000,000 — the price is above that.

- If a beachfront location is important.
- If you require a modern building without 1957 elements.
What to know before the transaction
The building dates from 1957 with a 2021 renovation. The preserved stone façade may impose restrictions on external alterations. During the high season, the Kefalari area is busy, as is the whole of northern Athens. The heating and cooling system requires regular maintenance. The property is not classified as an energy‑efficient building — the exact class should be confirmed at the date of the transaction. The triple‑energy boiler and solar panels provide savings on energy costs.
