Discover the importance of Land Registry Law

Owning property in Greece is a significant investment, and ensuring your ownership rights are protected is crucial. Land registry law governs the accurate documentation and security of property ownership, creating a transparent framework for real estate transactions. The Hellenic Cadastre (Ktimatologio) serves as Greece’s centralized property registry, safeguarding property rights and streamlining the property market.

With its advanced system replacing traditional deeds registries, the Cadastre provides an up-to-date and comprehensive database of ownership, easements, and mortgages.
