“Selling a House in 1 Day?” – The Great Greek Transfer Myth

30.9.2025

Maybe you saw it in the news: “With Akinita.gov.gr, property transfers are completed in JUST one day!”
Wow. Incredible. Magical. Almost as believable as being told that souvlaki now has no calories.

But let’s get serious. No buyer – zero, none – walks into a notary’s office ready to hand over hundreds of thousands of euros without first checking mountains of documents. We’re talking about building permits, topographic diagrams, energy performance certificates, tax clearance certificates, engineers’ attestations, and of course the Greek “masterpiece”: the Building’s Electronic Identity.

Do you know which of all these are covered by the “one-day platform”? None.

The Harsh Reality the State Forgot

Akinita.gov.gr starts after the real marathon. It’s like advertising a “5-minute marathon” by counting only the victory lap.

In 99.9% of real transactions, buyers and their lawyers require all these documents before even considering moving forward. The shiny state platform? It ignores all of this difficult, time-consuming preparation.

So unless we’re talking about the mythical pair of unicorns – a seller who has everything ready and a buyer who trusts blindly – the “one-day sale” is nothing more than a marketing fairy tale.

This Is Where titlos.com Comes In: The Other 99.9%

At titlos.com we don’t sell fairy tales. We deliver reality. Our platform takes on the real work – the 99.9% of the steps that actually get you to the notary’s office without drama.

  • Helps create the actual, up-to-date property file for the buyer’s due diligence
  • Coordinates sellers, buyers, brokers, notaries, engineers, and lawyers
  • Ensures documents are truly ready before the champagne is popped

To put it another way: the state only provides the “cherry on top.” titlos.com is the recipe, the oven, and the pastry chef. Without titlos.com, there isn’t even a cake for the cherry to sit on.

Why settle for the superficial?

The state’s platform is like building a house with just the front door and presenting it as “ready to live in.” titlos.com is the entire house – foundations, walls, roof, and yes, even the balcony where you’ll enjoy your first frappé.

So next time you hear “property transfer in 1 day,” laugh, shake your head politely… and then go to titlos.com. Because behind every “express miracle” hides a pile of paperwork that only titlos.com helps you truly get in order.
