Welcome to the ultimate Greek-Australian guide to Property, Wealth, and Business in Greece

It is absolutely fixable, but it requires an objective third party to take the wheel. When relatives disagree or live across continents, properties become paralysed. We step in as your single point of responsibility. Our team on the ground in Greece handles the title clearance, tracks down the deeds (contracts), and aligns everyone with the Greek tax office (AADE). We remove the emotional family friction and treat the property like a business asset, structuring it to either perform (generate rent) or be liquidated efficiently. Let’s sit down in our Melbourne office and look at what paperwork you currently have

Key Takeaway: We unblock stagnant family estates by removing the emotional friction and managing the legal execution from start to finish.

If it’s not registered properly with the Hellenic Cadastre (Κτηματολόγιο) and AADE, you don’t legally own it yet—which means, yes, it can turn into a headache. Greek bureaucracy does not reward informal handshakes. But don’t walk away from the asset. Our Inherited Estate & Wealth Structuring associates specialise in tracing unregistered land, clearing disputed titles, and officially registering the property in your name, ensuring it is legally yours to sell or develop. Send us whatever old documents you have, and we’ll map out the exact clearance process.

Key Takeaway: Unregistered property can be salvaged and formalised through our targeted title clearance and registration process.

This is one of the smartest moves you can make. Pre-emptive wealth structuring saves thousands of dollars and years of stress. We can manage your parent’s tax clearance certificates, property compliance, and ensure everything is structured so that when the time comes, the transfer to you in Australia is seamless and compliant with both Greek inheritance laws and the ATO. You won’t have to fly back and forth to deal with local lawyers. Let’s map out a strategy today.

Key Takeaway: Pre-emptive wealth structuring prevents future cross-border tax nightmares and secures your family’s assets.

The horror stories usually come from buyers who relied on the seller’s agent rather than conducting their own due diligence. We act as your institutional architects for property investment. Before any money changes hands, our legal and engineering teams conduct full urban planning compliance checks, ensure there are no hidden AADE debts, and verify the title deed. We secure the asset first, then build the business model for your rental. Let us vet the properties you’re looking at before you commit.

Key Takeaway: Comprehensive due diligence and urban planning checks eliminate the risk of buying legally compromised property.

You will not be taxed twice if your investment is structured correctly. Australia and Greece have a double taxation treaty, but navigating it requires precision. Our Cross-Border Tax Advisory partners ensure you are fully compliant with both AADE and the ATO. We handle the local tax filings for your Greek rental income and provide you with the exact documentation your Australian accountant needs to claim the foreign tax offsets. Speak to us before you buy.

Key Takeaway: Dual-jurisdiction compliance guarantees you maximize your rental ROI without falling foul of the ATO or AADE.

That is exactly why we are here. We don’t just give you a list of things to do; we execute the entire acquisition on your behalf. We are not a passive intermediary; we act as your dedicated project manager. From sourcing the property to finalising the contract and setting up the utility bills, we are your boots on the ground in Greece, while you get updates directly from our local Australian presence. Let us handle the heavy lifting.

Key Takeaway: We provide end-to-end execution, allowing you to acquire and manage Greek property seamlessly from Australia.

Your mate is right, and yes — they absolutely apply to you if you establish a Greek corporate entity. You should never use 100% of your own equity when EU and Greek grant programs are available. Through programs like ESPA 2021–2027 and the Greek Development Law (Anaptyxiakos), you can secure non-repayable grants covering up to 70% of your eligible setup costs for tourism and hospitality.
The remaining portion of the investment can often be complemented with structured bank financing, allowing you to preserve liquidity and significantly improve the overall return on your capital.
Before you commit your own savings, we typically build a full investment structure — combining grants, bank financing, and equity — supported by a professional business plan.

Key Takeaway: Australian investors can access massive, non-repayable EU grants for Greek projects by structuring their corporate presence correctly.

Because Greek bureaucracy is unforgiving, and DIY applications almost always fail. Grant applications require flawless feasibility studies, strict adherence to specific KAD (activity codes), and perfect legal compliance. We are experts at this. We don’t just fill out forms; we structure your entire business plan to align exactly with what the evaluators are looking for. We take on the responsibility of the application so you don’t get tripped up by red tape. Let’s look at your previous application and rebuild it properly.

Key Takeaway: Professional structuring and flawless execution are mandatory to successfully navigate the unforgiving Greek grant approval process.

Think of them as three different funding mechanisms designed for different types of investments.

ESPA (NSRF 2021–2027) primarily provides non-repayable grants for small and medium-sized enterprises. These programs typically support projects such as tourism upgrades, digital transformation, green energy improvements, or business modernisation.

The Greek Development Law (Anaptyxiakos) focuses on larger or structured investment projects and offers incentives such as tax exemptions, direct subsidies, leasing subsidies, or wage cost support, depending on the specific regime and the region of the investment.

The Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) works differently. It mainly provides long-term investment loans through the Greek banking system, combined with private capital and commercial lending. These loans support projects that contribute to Greece’s green transition, digital transformation, innovation, and productivity.

In practice, many successful investments combine more than one of these tools. Our role is to structure the project correctly — aligning the business plan, financing mix, and eligibility criteria with the most suitable funding program.

Key Takeaway: Each funding mechanism serves a different purpose — the right investment structure often combines grants, incentives, and financing into a single coordinated funding strategy.

You start by talking to us. Registering a company remotely is a nightmare if you try to coordinate it yourself. We handle the entire Business Setup & Strategic Investment process. We establish the corporate entity, secure the correct KAD codes, manage the licensing, and ensure you meet all Greek regulatory compliance. You stay focused on your Australian operations while we build your European gateway. Reach out to discuss your market entry strategy.

Key Takeaway: We eliminate the friction of remote business setup by acting as your dedicated local execution team in Greece.

This is the most common complaint we hear from diaspora investors. Fragmented professionals lead to missed deadlines and tax penalties. We act as your single point of responsibility. When you bring your business to Aggelakakis & Associates, our legal, financial, and consulting teams work in perfect sync under one roof. No more playing the middleman from 15.000 km away. Let us audit your current setup and streamline your operations

Key Takeaway: We replace fragmented, unreliable local contractors with a consolidated, institutional-grade execution team.
