Features

Sea view

Large seaside building plot, located in Vlichadia, at the north coast of Crete, north-west of the busy luxury tourist resort of Elounda, with very nice views of the Cretan Sea and the mountains behind. The plot is 5168 m² in size. One part of the plot (2457 m²) is inside the village planning zone, the other part (2711 m²) is outside the planning zone. On this land it is possible to build houses/ villas of up to a total of 800 m² on one or two floors, plus basement, plus attic. Alternatively, with a tourist development license, it is alowed to build tourist apartments or a small hotel up to a size of 1280 m². The land has good road access. Electricity, water and phone lines are present and easy to connect. Very little development has taken place in the area that has a uniquely natural, unspoilt beauty. There are a few small villages for basic shopping within a short drive from Vlichadia. There is a very nice fish tavern in the village that stays open all year. Distance to the sea: only 150 meters. The large village of Elounda is about a 15 minute drive from the plot and the international airport of Heraklion is about 1 hour 15 minutes from here.

FAQs

Can I get a mortgage abroad?

It depends on the country. For example, German banks willingly offer mortgages to foreigners at 1.5-2 % per annum with LTV up to 70%. Spain offers less favourable terms: the minimum rate for foreigners is 2.5% per annum. The situation is different in Greece: although the law does not prohibit banks from issuing loans, in practice, Greek banks don’t issue loans to local nor foreign property buyers. You can learn about the mortgage terms in your preferred country by contacting Tranio’s local agents.

How does the purchase procedure work?

The purchase procedure depends on the country where you buy property. Generally, after choosing a property you need to sign a preliminary agreement with the seller and carry out a due diligence of the property by checking the relevant documents and the property's technical condition. After that, all parties sign the sales agreement and the notary registers the transaction. As a rule, the purchase registration costs amount to approximately 10% of the property price.

Can a residence permit be obtained by buying property?

In some countries it is possible. Residence-for-property purchase programmes are known as Golden Visas programmes. Greece, Spain, Latvia, and Portugal offer the most popular Golden Visas in Europe. The Greek residence permit is the cheapest and can be obtained by buying a property worth at least €250,000, while organising all of the documents costs about €19,000. Certain countries offer citizenship to property buyers — for example, an investor can get their hands on a Cypriot passport by buying a property worth at least €2M.

Can I obtain income from a seaside apartment?

Yes. You can use the purchased property yourself for holidays and lease it to tourists for the rest of the time. To avoid the hassle of finding tenants and cleaning the property, it’s a wise idea to hire a management company to do all the work – these services usually cost about 20% of the rent. Take into account the length of the tourist season in the location you choose: in certain regions it will be easy to rent apartments out all year round, while in others it might only be possible to do so during the high season.

How does Tranio make money if your service is free for the clients?

We share the commission, which the buyer or the seller (depending on the country) pays to our partners — foreign real estate agencies. The price of this service is the same as if you contacted the agency directly — this is an important condition and applies to all of our partnership agreements.

Who guarantees the transaction security?

The transaction security is guaranteed by the notary who draws up the sales agreement and checks the information on the previous and current owners of the property, any outstanding restrictions, mortgage, and third-party encumbrances. Tranio is not responsible for the parties involved in the transaction.
