A foreign investor and her family acquired a central-Athens apartment to anchor a residency application — but the unit had been permitted as office space, and had to become a home, in law, before it could carry the file.
A foreign student investor, with her parents as dependants, set out to acquire an apartment near the centre of Athens for residency purposes. The complication was a planning one: the unit had been permitted as office space and had to be legally converted to residential use before it could anchor a residency application.
That turned a routine purchase into a full-cycle matter — pre-contract, the municipal change-of-use act, the notarial deed, cadastral registration, and only then the residency property pack and the statutory lawyer’s certificate.
We ran the whole sequence, including the engineer’s technical report on the change of use and the family’s insurance pack, through to a filing-ready residency file.
The deed was signed and registered, the change of use documented, and the property pack assembled for the residency application — a clean illustration of the planning wrinkle that many residency files quietly need.
The family remains a client for the residency file and renewal.
