English-speaking lawyers in Rhodes

Rhodes attracts tourism investors, seasonal workers and retirees from the UK and northern Europe, and its old town and coastal villages see a steady trade in holiday homes. English-speaking lawyers in Rhodes guide these clients through Greek procedure.

Most cases concern buying property and checking its permits, licensing short-term rentals, setting up a business for the season, residence permits for non-EU citizens and inheritance of island land. A dikigoros must be registered with the Rhodes Bar Association. Contracts of sale are signed before a Greek notary, and the deed then goes to the cadastre.

Greek is the language of the courts, so expect sworn translations and, at hearings, an interpreter. Before hiring English-speaking lawyers in Rhodes, ask how they charge for a purchase and whether the fee includes the cadastre filing. Some coastal plots carry archaeological or forestry limits that affect building. Seasonal businesses also need to register staff correctly with the Greek authorities.
