    Lyon small multifamily: is the apparent 7.2% drop real?

    Are these entire small buildings or individual units within multifamily buildings? Service charges mean something quite different in those two cases. Also, does the 7.2% compare like-for-like asking prices, or does it mix neighbourhoods and renovation levels? Without those details, the result...

    Workflow tools for conveyancing that saved real time

    If an integration still requires the same details to be entered twice, it has failed our main test. A polished dashboard matters less than whether a viewing update, corrected listing or uploaded document reaches the next stage with enough history for someone to act on it. We also need sensible...

    Comparing a 5.30% 20-year fixed mortgage quote in Athens

    Since the advertised rate changed with the LTV tier, ask what loan amount would reach the next tier and rerun the numbers. A larger deposit might reduce the rate and payment, but it also ties up more cash. I would not empty the reserve fund merely to cross an LTV boundary; the property will...

    Buying in Greece: which legal and tax costs are easiest to miss?

    The purchase costs can be itemised now; what remains unclear is how residency is being used in the advice. Owning the flat, having permission to live in Greece and becoming Greek tax-resident are three different outcomes, and one does not automatically settle the others. Ask the adviser to...

    Athens: what should a listing photography package actually include?

    I would like one clear written scope for marketing a small Athens multifamily priced at about €506,000, but the obstacle is that providers use “listing photography” for very different services. One quote may cover only images and delivery, while another hints at offer support, paperwork and...

    Athens mixed-use listings: normal variation or a shift in April 2025?

    How narrowly have you drawn the neighbourhood boundaries? Even a small change in the streets included could alter the mix of occupied and vacant buildings. I’d also separate buildings needing major work from those that can be used immediately. Otherwise vacancy may look like the main factor when...

    Birmingham retail units: is my 50-day figure distorted by stale listings?

    I’m not convinced reserves explain the outliers at all. Seller motivation is usually invisible in listing data. A seller holding firm can create a long marketing period, while another may cut early or withdraw, even where the properties look comparable.

    Are buyers negotiating more in Athens after 30 days?

    I have checked asking histories for Athens condos in the €938,400–€1,408,000 range, but it is still unclear whether reaching 30 days on market changes a seller’s expectations. The public record is messy because reduced properties may be withdrawn and later relisted, while some renovated units...

    Athens coastal listings: does 24 days reflect actual sales?

    I’m looking at coastal Athens property listed between €901,600 and €1,352,000, and my current sample suggests about 24 days to find a buyer. This is my first time tracking it, so I’m unsure how much confidence to place in that figure. The main outliers appear connected to energy performance...
