Legal Guides for Buying and Living in Kefalonia

When we decided that Kefalonia was going to be our island of choice to buy property, I then searched for a suitable lawyer and luckily found Evangelos. We got excited about a potential property and Evangelos handled everything with Power of Attorney, setting up a Greek bank account and assisting with the negotiations and final purchase of the property. When living the other side of the world and undertaking this remotely, there is a huge trust factor for anyone you engage to handle your finance and dealings. To this end we highly recommend Evangelos. His fluent English, his professionalism, his great wit and his fantastic ongoing communication, would put any prospective client at ease. We look forward to working with Evangelos as our trusted advisor on all future matters in Greece.

We were introduced to Evangelos in 2018 when we decided to buy our dream holiday home in Kefalonia. We felt so lucky to have his guidance and support throughout the process as most of it was done remotely. He is a very confident, honest and trustworthy lawyer and his sense of humour is an integral part of his cliental relationships. He was always at the end of emails and phone calls when we needed his help and we couldn’t have had the courage to complete the sale process if it wasn’t for his resolve and can do attitude. We highly recommend Evangelos for his professional services and know that there will be many clients sharing the same experience as they get to work with him as many have already done so. Our holidays in Kefalonia are not complete without a visit to his office to say hello.

We came to Kefalonia for a holiday and within a week had fallen in love with the island and found a house to buy. As we returned to the UK we realised we didn't really have a clue about the process to follow and how to do the deal most efficiently in Greece. We were lucky to find Evangelos who was able to explain the process, the best way to optimise our costs and all the other little details and idiosyncrasies of the Greek system. He made all the arrangements for us to grant him power of attorney for the purchase and the next time we needed to do anything was when we arrived in Kefalonia to collect the house keys. From the moment we met Evangelos back in 2007 he put us at ease and gave us confidence that he would represent our interests fairly. It was a pleasure to do business with him and he continues to act as our trusted advisor and to deal with our tax and legal affairs on the island.
