BUILDING NEW
VILLA
Welcome.
Greece's
islands,
like a
mini continent,
have
a vast array of open land areas
suitable for
development,
with some of the best sea frontage in Europe,
just
waiting for a
new
owner.
We
have many land areas
from which
to choose,
from idyllic mountain views in the roof garden of Greece, to sea views in
old fishing villages. Like
most European countries,
building
permissions vary
in Greece
depending
on
the urbanisation zoning of the village or towns. Applications
for new buildings
require
special attention in the planning stages,
in order
to achieve planning consents and building licenses. Utilising
the land to best advantage is extremely important
to achieve the best property equity results. In
Greece the land parcels are dealt in
stemmas
which are 100m x 100m = 10000 m2 = 1
stemmas.
Greece's building
styles are set by the past, we now can look carefully at the whole of the
architectural buildings on offer to appreciate what we are going to invest
in. Each building type needs different considerations for the planning
consents by the local municipality under the building codes of Greece. The
categories that we can select are a cross section of the property market of
Greece, so we have prior knowledge of a property purchase protecting our
investment money. One key area is that when renovating a property the
planning committees look favourably to a building being renovated
to the original features.
Building your dream home
Investing
in any new building project all experts agree that the site location is the
prime element to succeed in a return on profits. The land is the first step
the land parcels in Greece comprises on 2 sections thus that are in the
village town plan and thus that are outside.
In
the local town hall there are the village or plans boundary of the village
or town that you are thinking of purchasing a parcel of land. The regulation
are if the land is within the village plan then you are permitted to build a
villa
the current planning regulations in Greece
stipulate that, if a building plot of
land located within the town or
village plan, or if a
building plot has direct roadside access via a main or secondary
road. Then
permissions
can be granted on a building
plot
of 2,000m2,
which means on your land area you are permitted to build a residential home
on a land plot of no less then 2,000m2 is 70% of the total area. If the land area
is outside of the town plan, or
the boundary of planning consents under town planning and if no
natura, archaeology or forestry
restrictions apply, then
permission can be
granted to construct a building on a land
plot area of a minimum
of 4,000m2
plot is either
220m2 or 240m2 determined on the road frontage of the property. These are
the current laws that are subject to changes. Building
a stone house gives the owner certain tax breaks. An initiative by the
government to encourage more traditional buildings. It can in some cases,
work out cheaper than a plastered building. When
buying seafront land, a topography of the seafront needs to be made by
topographers. This will determine how near to the seafront it is possible to
build. This topography needs to be cleared and signed off by many government
departments. There can sometimes be a wait of some months.
Once
we receive the correct information on the land
permissions then the next step can be taken. The demographic plan has to be
undertaken if on does not exist in this case our survey shall visit the site
to carry out a full land survey plotting the important boundaries of the
land area. The establishment of the land boundaries at this point can reduce
the risk of legal complications in the future so a good understanding of the
boundaries is importance equally to meet the neighbours and mark there
boundaries if the land plot is not already fenced in.
The
establishment of the services available at this stage can give a costing of
the services authorities shall charge for the connection of electric and
water and if the land area has a water management system of main drain
sewages outlets. Armed with all the information the building plan can begin.
From webpage's
Architecture and
Construction Buildings should be read to understand what
materials are available and the types of architecture are permitted. On many
islands in Greece the town planning office have strict regulations on what
and be designed in many cases a president has be set from the past creating
a style known as the island style that must be followed. Our design team can
advise you of all the facts relating to a particular island style.
Now
the main design work can begin, all personalities have different tastes on
the practical side make a list of the things that are importance in a home
to suit your living requirement are a check list to give to the design team to help you can click on the boxes below and print
them off.
GROUND FLOOR
The
sizes of the rooms can now be thought about. The floor plan
can be determined from the area permitted under the land usage so
the total area you are permitted to build on a plot that is within
the village or town plane is on a
2,000m2
m2
is 70% and outside the village plan a total area of
4000m2 plot is either 220m2 or 240m2 determined on the road frontage
of the property. If you have a tape measure and scale ruler then your should be able to
workout from your existing home the floor area that shall suite the design
of your new home.
GROUND FLOOR PLAN AREAS
Then
measuring the external wall size allow from the internal wall size and extra
25 cm for each external wall not the internal walls
Property Sizes -
measurements of individual room sizes and floor areas from external
walls i.e.
Lounge
3 meters x 4 meters = 12 m2
Building area - total size of building
from external walls
