I cannot comment on this case but being in the real estate sales business in greece I know for a fact that many small estate agents are corrupted as are their
lawyers, one moment you may be sold a seemingly legitimate land plot only
to have the archeology and the ministry of culture come onto you disputing
the legitimacy of your documents..... stop you from bulding and nobody helps you recover your money
I mean look at what is happening with burnt forest areas, they developers
will bribe anyone to build on this land illegally
my advice? Don't buy from non-certified constructors, agents
The ones I work for are strictly regulated, independently certified big constructors
who don't need to do such third world scams for a quick profit
They even check rich clients proof of income to ensure it doesn't come from illegal activities
The spanish property market is even worse and bought mostly by dirty money and they too are bringing about
significant changes, though they openly welcomed dirty money they did tax it at higher rates
Because Greece is more or less the 'Columbia' of Europe, state regulation is not existent
and corruption is of unbelievable proportions
