Findings in detail

What was found, what it means, what stays unknown and what to ask next, for each check.

Needs attention5

What this means for you
Greece's forest maps give every piece of land a label. The label here falls under forest law, which can strictly limit building, fencing, clearing and changes of use. Resolve this before you commit to buying.
What to do
Ask your lawyer to check the official forest map at the Hellenic Cadastre, including any pending objection. Do not commit until this is clear.
Limits of this check
Read from the regional forest-map data we hold, not from the official certified map.
Technical details
The confirmed parcel intersects 101 forest-map polygon(s) from the imported regional dataset for Attica. Forest-law class code(s): Δ, ΑΝ, ΠΔ, ΔΔ, ΑΔ, ΔΑ. Other codes also present: Α, ΠΑ, ΑΑ.

Certainty: Indicative resultWho should verify: Lawyer / notary · Civil engineerForest-map region: Attica

What this means for you
Greece protects some areas under national law, for example landscapes, wildlife refuges or nature monuments. Inside one, building and changes of use can be restricted.
What to do
Ask your lawyer and civil engineer whether this protected area, or a buffer zone around it, affects building or your planned use.
Limits of this check
Covers areas in the European register of nationally protected sites. Local planning rules are not included.
Technical details
The parcel intersects a nationally designated protected area in the CDDA public dataset (national parks, aesthetic forests, wildlife refuges, and similar designations). Mapped site name: Parnitha.

Certainty: Check completedWho should verify: Lawyer / notary · Civil engineer

What this means for you
Natura 2000 is the EU network of protected nature sites. Inside these sites, building, renovation and some uses usually need an extra environmental approval.
What to do
Ask your lawyer and engineer which approvals you would need to build, renovate or use the property as you plan.
Limits of this check
Covers the EU Natura 2000 map only. National protected areas are checked separately below.
Technical details
The confirmed parcel intersects Natura 2000 protected-site polygon(s). Site code sample: GR3000001. Site type sample: SCISPA.

Certainty: Check completedWho should verify: Lawyer / notary · Civil engineerNearby site code: GR3000001

What this means for you
Greece's official record of past floods lists 16 event(s) within about 10 km. This describes the wider area; it does not show that this property flooded.
What to do
Ask the seller and neighbours whether the property has flooded, and ask your engineer to look at drainage.
Limits of this check
The national record lists mostly larger floods and is incomplete.
Technical details
Public YPEN historic flood event data records 16 observed event(s) within about 10 km of the parcel. Example mapped event name: Δημοτική Κοινότητα Άνω Λιοσίων.

Certainty: Check completedWho should verify: Civil engineer · Lawyer / notary

What this means for you
All of Greece is earthquake country, and every building must follow the national seismic code.
What to do
Ask your civil engineer about the building's structural condition and which seismic rules apply.
Limits of this check
Distance to mapped faults only: not the official seismic zone or a building safety check.
Technical details
Public NOAFAULTs mapping suggests the nearest mapped active fault line (Katsimidi fault (GR0621)) crosses or touches the confirmed parcel. Catalog metadata lists kinematics: Normal; catalog activity reliability: possible.

Certainty: Indicative resultWho should verify: Relevant professional

Questions to copy into an email, grouped by who should answer them.

Lawyer / notary7

  1. 1Please verify the official cadastral sheet, cadastral diagram, title position, encumbrances, and whether the public parcel context matches the property being sold.
  2. 2Please confirm whether mapped flood hazard/risk context affects disclosure, insurance, financing, or intended use.
  3. 3Please confirm whether the property is inside or near Natura 2000 or other environmental designations shown in public geospatial data.
  4. 4Please verify forest-map status (posted, partially certified, or final) through official Hellenic Cadastre tools and confirm any forest-related restrictions.
  5. 5Please confirm whether official planning, settlement-boundary, archaeology, coastal/foreshore, or cultural-heritage restrictions affect the exact property or planned use.
  6. 6Please confirm whether legal access, easements, shared roads, utility rights, or connection obligations are documented in the title and contract file.
  7. 7Please confirm that the engineer's certificate required for the transfer (βεβαίωση μηχανικού) can be issued, whether an Electronic Building Identity (ΗΤΚ) is required for this transfer, and whether any unauthorised works must be regularised before signing.

Civil engineer7

  1. 1Please confirm whether the public parcel polygon aligns with the built footprint, access, and any pending cadastral corrections.
  2. 2Please verify whether the exact property footprint and any basement/semi-basement areas are affected by flood hazard/risk mapping or local drainage issues.
  3. 3Please confirm whether Natura 2000 context affects permits, renovation scope, or intended use.
  4. 4Please confirm whether forest-map context affects permits, renovation scope, buildability, or intended use.
  5. 5Please assess water, electricity, sewage, road access, slope, retaining-wall, and drainage constraints on site, including likely connection or upgrade works.
  6. 6Please verify official EAK seismic-zone context, site geology, and whether structural or geotechnical review is needed for purchase, renovation, or insurance.
  7. 7For any building on the property, please compare it as it stands with the permits, approved plans, and any regularisation declarations, and state what would need to be regularised or updated before the engineer's certificate for the transfer can be signed.

Accountant / tax adviser2

  1. 1Please confirm short-term rental or investment tax reporting obligations and local levy requirements if applicable.
  2. 2Please confirm ENFIA, municipal fees, declared area, rental-income reporting, and whether the intended use creates VAT or business-registration obligations.

Agent / seller7
