Leading property developers from Greece will be showcasing their key residential and mixed-use projects at the upcoming International Property Show in Dubai, UAE.

They are keen to showcase Greece as a great place to live, with many comparative advantages including climate, culture, geography, history and natural resources, said the event organisers Strategic Marketing & Exhibitions.

International Property Show 2017, a unique platform recognised for direct real estate transactions and onsite deals, will be held from April 2 to 4 at the Dubai World Trade Center.

Over years, organisers have succeeded in making it a platform for retail property, as it provides smooth and comfortable sales transaction, almost like shopping at a retail store.

Investment in the Greek real estate market is considered ideal at this moment as Greece offers residency through investment options to individuals who wish to purchase real estate or make an investment in selected sectors, said the organisers.

Non-Greek investors account for 30 per cent of annual sales transactions in Greek properties. The highest interest has been shown by Europeans, (mainly Germans, Italians, and French), followed by Americans and Arabs, they stated.

"Over the past few years, we have seen a rise in demand from foreigners wanting to purchase a home in Athens. By buying a property in Greece, non-European citizens are granted a five-year residence permit and this is an important motivation. Residency permits are renewable every five years, for as long as you own the property," remarked Dawood Al Shezawi, CEO, Strategic Marketing & Exhibitions.

According to him, Greece is among the best cities in the world to make sound investment in the real estate sector.

"The strategic location and an international ambience are the key reasons why it is an attractive option for real estate investors, businessmen and travelers," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
