From 1 July 2027, Greece plans to raise the real-estate transfer tax for buyers from third countries to 15%. According to the announced measures, the change will apply to transactions involving individuals rather than legal entities.
If implemented as announced, the measure will make property purchases in Greece more expensive for individuals from third countries. It directly affects people considering residential or investment property as part of their relocation, including prospective investors. The date is important for planning because transactions after 1 July 2027 would need to account for the higher tax burden. Property buyers should monitor this development, although the source presents it as an announced government measure rather than a rule already in force.
