Design and Build

After you have bought your plot at Thassos or at the area of Kavala, we can design and build a villa or apartment for you. A 3D photo (3D architectural model) of your house as well as the interior will be made at this stage in order to know what you buy.
Once you decide what you want, we make a contract with a detailed description of the construction and start the building and deliver the completed property in about 8-12 months. During the building process you will receive photos of your house via email. The payment will be arranged in defined stages (usually in 3 stages starting with 30% of the agreed price)  during the building process. You can select from our choice of tiles, sanitary and finishings before even start building.

In the price of the contact are included:

  • Plans

  • Building Permit and Engineer services

  • IKA (social insurance of the workers ) Taxes included. The owner is paying it usually and is around 7000€ for a 120 m2 building but in case of a contact the contractor is paying them.

  • VAT Taxes included

  • Electricity and water connection fees

  • TV -Fm and telephone connections.

 

A typical house include the following in the contact:

  Renovate an Old Stone House – Property.
We will explain you what can be done to the property starting from legal aspects and static and going to more detailed aspects. Once you decide on what you want we come to contract where will be everything in a detailed description and after 9-12 months you can make your holidays in your house.
The cost of renovation can vary between 500-1500 €/m2. This depends on the building, on your decision how much money you want  to invest and your taste.
Renovating an old stone house is sometimes more expensive than building a new one but its value is higher than a new one as well as his local character is always an added value.         
 


Process Buying a property
After you have searched on our website www.realestate-thassos.com or from others and select some properties for sale, you have to arrange your trip to Greece, dates, hotel tel. numbers etc in contact with us.
If you have your finances ready before you make your viewing trip, the buying process will be quickly. We can provide you assistance also in the process with financing (money transfer, loans etc.)
Architectural services

After you have decided for the property of for 2 or 3 of them we can make a preliminary plan as well as an estimation of building cost and then you can decide which one you will buy. The service of the plans is free of charge in case you will decide after the completion of the purchase for the building permit.
Notary
In the case of properties over 50.000 a Deposit of around 10% is required usually in order to secure your property on signing a preliminary agreement, other ways you move direct to the contract. The notary will arrange the  appropriate tax papers and payments.
Lawyer

After you have decided for the property a lawyer, who we cooperate, will check for clean title, help to fix the “assessed value”, and ensure that the property is free from outstanding taxes which the new owner would otherwise inherit. In case you want another lawyer or Notary, we can provide you with a list of them.
Contract

The Notary will have prepared a contract which will signed at his offices, in the presence of the lawyers representing both sides. If the customer decides not to be present, they can agree to a Power of Attorney, for their lawyer or another person to act on their behalf.
Purchase Costs

The purchase tax, legal and notary fees are paid for by the purchaser in Greece. These are calculated based on the “officially assessed price” of the property and not the actual selling price. In order to keep costs down, the “officially assessed price” can be as much as a third cheaper than the actual selling price.
Purchase tax  9-13% (of assessed price)
Legal fees  1-2% with minimum 250 € (of assessed price)
Notary fees  1-2% (of assessed price)
Property-real estate agent fees 2% of the actual selling price.
As these percentages are based on the lower “officially assessed price”, you should allow for these costs to add up to approximately 10% of the sale price.
Please note that for off-plan house - properties, the purchase costs can be less than half of those above.
 
 


Bioclimatic Architecture

This type of architecture aims when designing obtain conditions of internal comfort, and so substantially increase our standard of living. This can be achieved by making the most of our surroundings, using climate, microclimate, positioning, winds, humidity, underground streams, tellurian currents, electromagnetic fields and of course a good choice of materials to give us a personalised solution for a house integrated into its environment, cheaper, more pleasant and above all ‘healthier'.

Techniques in Bioclimatic Architecture

* Location. Location determines climatic conditions in which the house will be "connected" to the environment. We can differentiate between macroclimate and microclimate conditions.
* Shape and orientation. The shape of the house has to do with: The contact surface between the house and the outside. Wind exposure. Solar capture.
The orientation of the house has to do with: Solar capture and  Influence of dominant winds
* Passive solar capture. There are several types of systems: Direct systems. Semi - direct systems.  Indirect systems
* Isolation and thermal mass
* Ventilation. In bioclimatic housing, ventilation is important, and has different uses:  Air renovation. Thermal comfort. Conditioning. Air in movement can remove heat stored in walls, ceilings, floors by forced convection phenomenon.  Infiltration.  Natural ventilation.  Convective ventilation.  Convective ventilation in attic.  Ventilation heat loss in winter.  Ventilated façade.
* Soil climatic advantages
* Stopper rooms.  The garage and The attic
* Protection against summer radiation
* Cooling evaporative systems
