Frequently Asked Questions
Why is an Engineer necessary for a property transaction?
Every property transaction requires the services of a certified Engineer, for the following aspects:
- Technical Research of the property deeds.
- Measurement and plans creation of the property.
- Certification that all the structures of the building are legal.
- Legalization Process in case of arbitrary structures (structures built without a building permit).
- Energy Performance Certificate of the building.
- Structural Stability Evaluation (not always necessary).
- In case of a plot of land, technical checks to certify the build-ability of the plot and the building rights.
I want to sell my property. What is the process for the technical checks?
The steps that need to be followed are the following:
1st Step
Measurement and topographic survey of the plot of land and the existing buildings.
2nd Step
Technical Check of the measurements, to approve that they match with the building permit.
3rd Step
In case the engineer finds any arbitrary buildings or an increase in dimensions, starts the process of legalization.
4th Step
The Energy Inspection Certificate is executed and also the Legality Certificate of the property.
5th Step
All the necessary plans and documents are delivered to the notary in order to be attached to the selling contract.
I want to buy a property on Crete. Do I need to hire an Engineer?
According to the law, it is not mandatory for the buyers to hire an engineer. However, for the best interest of the buyers, it is advised to hire an engineer to execute a technical check of the property. It is advised both for plots of land and resale houses.
When is a Structural Stability Evaluation necessary?
Greece and even more Crete are located in a seismogenic region, which makes structural stability a very important parameter for the safety of human lives and the safety of the invested value in a property.
A structural stability evaluation is legally mandatory when there are large-scale arbitrary structures (more than 25 sq.m.) in the property and also in case of obvious damaged structural elements.
Further from what the law requires, property buyers often hire our engineers to inspect, measure and report about the structural stability of the property to be purchased.
