Arbitrary arrangement
Arbitrary settlement: The legislation stipulates that the properties must exist legally, that is, they must have been built with a building permit and the construction must have been carried out as stipulated in the original building permit or some modification of this permit.
Our Company undertakes the regularization/legalization of arbitrary constructions throughout Greece. From time to time many laws have been issued for this purpose, currently N.4495/2017 is in force.
It is deemed necessary to regularize the arbitrary constructions on a property when a notarial act is to be carried out for it (purchase, sale, parental allowance, etc.) or lease. In addition, the current law gives the citizen an incentive to proceed with the regularization of his property as the more immediately he joins the law, the greater will be the deduction of the fine that will concern the arbitrariness. On the contrary, as long as it is delayed, increasing factors will be imposed on the fine.
In addition, a 20% discount on the fine is provided to the applicant if the fine amount is paid in one lump sum.
Categories of arbitrary constructions:
- CATEGORY 1: Arbitrary constructions or uses, which were completed before 9/6/1975, are definitively excluded from demolition upon payment of an illegal amount of two hundred and fifty (250) euros and without the payment of a single special fine
