Real Estate Law & Property Services
Purchasing, selling or investing in real estate is one of the most significant financial decisions an individual, business or investor can make. In today’s evolving Greek property market, where legal, urban planning, cadastral and regulatory requirements are constantly changing, every successful transaction begins with experienced legal guidance.
At PRILI & PARTNERS LAW FIRM, we view every property transaction not simply as the transfer of ownership, but as a valuable investment that deserves comprehensive legal protection, strategic planning and meticulous attention to detail.
With offices in Athens, Glyfada and Mykonos, our firm provides comprehensive Real Estate Law services to individuals, companies, property developers, institutional and private investors, Greek expatriates and international clients seeking to acquire, develop, lease, manage or protect real estate assets throughout Greece.
Our legal team supports clients at every stage of a real estate transaction, from the initial legal assessment and property due diligence through contract negotiation, title verification, completion of the acquisition, registration with the Hellenic Cadastre, and the resolution of any legal disputes that may arise before or after the transaction.
Working closely with notaries, civil engineers, architects, surveyors, tax advisors, property valuers and other specialised professionals, we provide fully coordinated legal support, ensuring that every transaction is completed efficiently, securely and in full compliance with Greek law.
Modern Real Estate Law extends far beyond reviewing contracts or attending the execution of a notarial deed. Today’s property transactions require a thorough understanding of land management, urban planning regulations, zoning restrictions, cadastral procedures, planning legislation, environmental considerations and investment risk assessment.
The firm’s Founder and Managing Partner, Stavroula-Antigoni Prili, Attorney at Law before the Supreme Court of Greece, further strengthens the firm’s expertise through her postgraduate studies in Land Management & Real Estate at the University of West Attica, School of Engineering.
Combined with extensive legal experience and close collaboration with experienced engineers, technical consultants and real estate professionals, this multidisciplinary background enables our firm to deliver sophisticated legal solutions for even the most complex property matters.
Our philosophy is simple: identifying legal risks before they become legal disputes. By combining legal precision with strategic planning, we help our clients make informed investment decisions with confidence, certainty and long-term security.
Our Real Estate Department advises clients on a wide range of property matters involving:
- Residential Properties

Each category of property presents unique legal, technical and regulatory challenges. For this reason, every case is approached individually, allowing us to develop legal strategies tailored to the specific characteristics of the property and the commercial objectives of our clients.
Whether acting for private buyers, institutional investors, developers or international clients, our priority is to minimise legal risk, protect our clients’ interests and facilitate secure, successful transactions.
A successful real estate transaction does not begin with the signing of a contract.
It begins much earlier—with a comprehensive legal review of the property’s ownership history, legal status, planning restrictions, cadastral records and all other factors that may affect its present or future value.
At PRILI & PARTNERS LAW FIRM, we believe that the true role of a Real Estate Lawyer is not merely to complete a transaction, but to anticipate potential risks before they arise.
Every matter entrusted to our firm is handled with meticulous attention to detail, strategic legal analysis and a proactive approach designed to safeguard our clients’ investments from the outset.
Our objective is to ensure that every acquisition, development or disposal of real estate is carried out with legal certainty, transparency and absolute confidence.
Comprehensive Legal Due Diligence for Secure Real Estate Transactions and Property Investments
Every successful real estate transaction begins long before the signing of a purchase agreement.
It begins with a thorough understanding of the legal status of the property, the identification of potential risks, and the implementation of a carefully planned legal strategy.
Whether you are purchasing a residential property, a commercial asset, development land, a luxury villa, a hotel, or an investment portfolio, Legal Due Diligence is the most important safeguard for protecting your investment.
At PRILI & PARTNERS LAW FIRM, we provide comprehensive Property Due Diligence services throughout Greece, helping private buyers, developers, institutional investors, family offices, entrepreneurs and international clients make informed decisions with confidence and legal certainty.
Our role extends far beyond reviewing documents.
We conduct an in-depth legal assessment of every property, identify existing or potential legal issues, evaluate investment risks and provide practical, strategic advice before any contractual commitment is made.
By identifying legal obstacles at an early stage, we help our clients avoid costly disputes, unexpected liabilities and unnecessary financial exposure.
What Does Property Due Diligence Include?
Every property is unique.
For this reason, every legal review is tailored to the characteristics of the specific property and the objectives of the transaction.
Depending on the nature of the investment, our legal due diligence may include:
Title Verification
We examine the property’s ownership history to confirm that the seller holds valid, marketable and transferable ownership rights and that the chain of title is complete and legally secure.
Encumbrance Search
We investigate the existence of:
• Mortgages
• Prenotations of Mortgage
• Liens
• Attachments
• Third-party claims
• Easements
• Rights of way
• Pending litigation
• Court judgments
• Registered legal acts affecting ownership or use of the property
Our objective is to identify any legal burden that could affect the value, transferability or future use of the property.
Hellenic Cadastre Review
We verify:
• Ownership registration
• Cadastral records
• Property boundaries
• Co-ownership percentages
• Registered rights
• Clerical errors
• Pending corrections
• Any inconsistencies between the cadastral records and the title deeds.
Land Registry Investigation
Where the traditional Land Registry system remains in force, we conduct a complete review of all registered legal acts relating to the property.
Urban Planning & Building Compliance
Working alongside experienced civil engineers and technical consultants, we review:
• Building eligibility
• Planning regulations
• Land-use restrictions
• Building terms and conditions
• Building permits
• Illegal constructions
• Outstanding regularisation procedures
• Planning violations
• Development limitations
This multidisciplinary approach provides our clients with a complete understanding of both the legal and technical status of the property.
Zoning, Environmental and Regulatory Restrictions
For investment properties, development projects and coastal or tourism-related assets, additional investigations may include:
• Zoning Control Areas (ZOE)
• Natura 2000 protected areas
• Archaeological protection zones
• Forestry restrictions
• Coastal and beachfront regulations
• Spatial planning frameworks
• Environmental regulations
• Other public law restrictions that may affect development rights or investment potential.
Legal Due Diligence for Property Developers and Investors
Complex investments require advanced legal analysis.

• Luxury residential developments
• Hotels and hospitality projects
• Commercial real estate
• Mixed-use developments
• Residential complexes
• Office buildings
• Retail centres
• Land development projects
• Real estate portfolios
• Corporate acquisitions involving real estate assets
• Institutional investments

• High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs)
Before any investment is completed, we identify legal, regulatory and transactional risks that may affect ownership, financing, development potential or future profitability.
Our objective is to provide investors with a clear legal assessment that supports informed decision-making and protects long-term investment value.
Legal Certainty Is the Foundation of Every Successful Investment
Property Due Diligence is not simply a procedural requirement.
It is the cornerstone of every secure real estate transaction.
At PRILI & PARTNERS LAW FIRM, we believe that a Real Estate Lawyer should not merely facilitate a transaction, but proactively identify risks before they become legal disputes.
Every instruction entrusted to our firm is approached with meticulous attention to detail, strategic legal analysis and absolute commitment to protecting our clients’ interests.
Our mission is to ensure that every property acquisition, development or investment is completed with legal certainty, complete transparency and the highest level of professional care.
Because successful investments are built on informed decisions—and informed decisions begin with exceptional legal advice.
