A comprehensive title review is a fundamental part of any property acquisition, transfer, or real estate investment in Greece.
ACMA LAW FIRM investigates the ownership history and legal status of the property, identifies registered encumbrances and competing claims, and assesses matters that may affect the client’s ability to acquire, use, or transfer the asset.
Our due diligence work includes:
Reviewing the chain of title and prior ownership transfers.
Confirming the seller’s legal authority to complete the transaction.
Assessing full ownership, bare ownership, usufruct, and other rights in rem.
Searching the competent cadastral office, mortgage registry, and other relevant public records.
Identifying mortgages, prenotations of mortgage, attachments, and other registered encumbrances.
Reviewing recorded claims, court decisions, and pending disputes reflected in the available records.
Assessing easements, use restrictions, and other property burdens.
Reviewing horizontal or vertical property ownership arrangements and building regulations.
Verifying cadastral information and property identification details.
Identifying discrepancies among title deeds, cadastral records, and technical documents.
Recommending remedial steps before the transaction proceeds.
Legal due diligence is coordinated, where appropriate, with technical and planning investigations performed by qualified engineers.
