About the Estate Agent

THALATTA.homes (www.thalatta.homes) is offering to relocating Brittons, Europeans and others, Greek homes to retire and/or to invest in a new stage of their lives, buying their new Greek HITS (Home In The Sun), to live in and/or maybe to let it, as an AirBnB, when not in residence, as well as, if interested to invest in a B&B type hotel. Those interested to invest in larger hospitality operations or other commercial property, please visit THALATTA.realty website (www.thalatta.realty). Our properties are all sourced from the best available, best-value properties, in the best locations in Greece, whether residential, resort, hospitality, commercial or industrial. THALATTA.homes and THALATTA.realty are the two divisions of Thalatta-Thalatta Enterprises (UK) Ltd. (www.thalatta-thalatta.uk) or TTUK for short.

In Greece, it is common, unfortunate, practice that estate agents would attempt to receive commissions from both the seller and the buyer, something that most people and certainly TTUK, would consider a serious conflict of interest. Some may even often suggest that you use the same lawyer as the seller (‘’to save money and time’’) and (even worst) to use the same Notary Public. TTUK, a UK company and its UK-bread directors act and will act exclusively as Buyer’s Agents, i.e. would be looking after the interests of their clients - in this instance, the buyers.

All you would have to do, as it is your legal right, is to inform a seller’s agent, that you intent to engage a buyer’s agent and that your agent (TTUK, if you would so decide), would contact them to handle the process on your behalf. Alternatively, you could ask us to perform this task – and we would oblige readily. Most estate agents, would accept it and agree. A refusal would betray bad faith, in most people’s opinion.

TTUK provides market analysis, investing background, private and business & development planning, legal and planning consents’ forensic analysis, investing and financing guidance and facilitation and access to financing institutions (typical interest 5,5%, presently) and GG (Greek Government) & EU grants, subsidies and loans, to which any Greek registered company and business is entitled.

TTUK would also introduce interested private individuals, wishing to part finance their Greek HITS (Home In The Sun), to licenced Greek mortgage brokers, offering typically, mortgages of up to 70% of the value of a HITS property, on 2.4% interest.

TTUK, will assist you with your business venture in Greece or your GGV (Greek Golden Visa) applications, but we will also guide and facilitate you, through the many additional benefits a Briton (or any non-Greek for that matter) owner of a Greek company could enjoy. Establishing a Greek LLC company costs some € 250 (including fees), it takes a few minutes to register and obtain the company’s VAT registration, all done digitally and the minimum capital requirement it € 1.00. Greek business-tax is just 22%.

One could actually drastically reduce one’s UK or other jurisdiction, personal pension-related tax, by paying only 7%, by having your pension tax, transferred to Greece. And there is also, the GND (Greek Non-Domicile) tax scheme, part of the international double-taxation-avoidance covenants, slashing anyone’s large business or investments’ tax obligations from anywhere in the world, to just 10% tax paid in Greece and no-tax at all paid to any other tax authority, anywhere in the world.

Digital-migrants and any start-up, establishing Greece as its base (and Greek tax jurisdiction), could get 50% reduction in its income from international sales, bringing corporate tax to just 11%.
