Property Soup | British buyers drive Greek luxury property surge

Property Soup highlights the growing influence of British buyers in Greece’s prime residential market, drawing on proprietary data from Greece Sotheby’s International Realty.

UK nationals represented 53% of recorded non-dom purchases between 2024 and the first half of 2026, with a combined transaction value of €30.1 million, while UK enquiries increased 40% year-on-year in the first half of 2026.

Demand spans lifestyle purchases in the Ionian Islands and high-value relocation to the Athens Riviera and Cyclades, reflecting a broader shift towards Greece among internationally mobile buyers. President & CEO Mr. Savvas Savvaidis captured the significance of this trend:

“These buyers are not acquiring holiday homes. They are moving their tax residence, their families and their fiscal base, and every purchase in our record sits above two and a half million euros.”
