≈ +5.6% over the price. Transfer tax is 3.09% on the tax-assessed (objective) value, which is often below the price you agree. New-build from a developer may carry 24% VAT instead of transfer tax under repeatedly extended suspension schemes — confirm which regime your unit falls in before you wire. Golden Visa thresholds rose in September 2024 and now run €250,000–€800,000 by municipality.

Rentals run on rules

The rent side, in three lines

  • Residential leases run a three-year minimum — a shorter agreed term extends by law, not by negotiation.
  • Deposits cap at two months’ rent.
  • Short-let income needs an AMA registration number with AADE — unregistered listings face fines, and Athens has restricted new registrations in the centre.

Qualitative anchors only. Live rents come from signed leases, never a hardcoded table.

Cities

Two metros, one national deed

Transfer tax is national; demand is not. Athens prices off the capital, tourism and the port economy; Thessaloniki off northern industry and students. Each city guide carries the same rate with a different market.
