Why invest in foreign real estate?

INVEST TODAY,
ENJOY TOMORROW

Investing in foreign real estate, such as in Greece, offers an attractive alternative to the Dutch market. It is not only an opportunity to take advantage of favorable regulations and a growing demand for luxury vacation homes, but also a smart way to diversify your investment portfolio. By buying foreign real estate, you spread risks and reduce your dependence on the local market.

Greece also offers tax advantages, such as lower taxes on rental income and less complex regulations surrounding real estate. This makes it more financially attractive compared to the strictly regulated Dutch real estate market. Growth opportunities are particularly high in tourist areas such as Rhodes. Thriving tourism and increasing demand for high-quality accommodations provide stable rental income and potentially high returns.

Moreover, investing in Greece combines financial benefits with personal value: you can enjoy a luxury vacation home in beautiful surroundings while your wealth grows. Foreign real estate thus offers not only a lucrative, but also a versatile investment opportunity.

Real estate management in Greece

We have overcome the obstacles some people experience when investing in real estate abroad as much as possible for you. Here we will discuss the most common obstacles and how we solve them for you so that you can enjoy your investment worry-free:

1. Administrative and legal challenges
Each country has its own laws and regulations surrounding real estate and permits, taxes and ownership transfers. This can be very complex, especially if there is also a language barrier. Second Home Rhodes has its own team of local engineers, lawyers, notaries and accountants to guide us through all administrative and legal issues. Also, every important document is translated for you so that you know exactly what you are signing for.

2. Costs and financial obligations
Before you purchase a home or have it built by us, we will inform you about all the additional costs, such as taxes, maintenance, insurance and local charges. This way you will not be confronted with unpleasant surprises afterwards.

3. Remote maintenance
We understand that when unexpected problems, such as repairs, occur, you may not feel like solving them yourself or simply not have the opportunity to do so yourself. Second Home Rhodes works with several reliable real estate management partners and contractors who can solve your problems for you.

4. Rental difficulties
Second Home Rhodes offers to take care of the rental of your vacation home in Greece. We make sure that your property is listed on various platforms, such as Airbnb, that your guests are welcomed at the property, that the property is cleaned and repaired if necessary, that the necessary information is sent to the accountant for tax purposes and that your guests have a fixed contact person at all times.

Alternative for investing in the Netherlands

The Dutch real estate market is facing major challenges these days. For example, mortgage interest rates have risen, there is a new law raising the line between social rent and the free sector, there will be a ban on temporary leases, taxes are being raised and municipalities may introduce buyout protection in sought-after neighborhoods. The time when real estate in the Netherlands was very profitable is over. Real estate investors are increasingly looking across the border.

Why invest in real estate in Rhodes instead of Spain?

Rhodes combines holiday fun with smart investment opportunities. An ideal combination, right?

Demand for luxury vacation homes is growing, and real estate prices are still affordable, offering potential returns.

Can I get a mortgage as a foreigner in Greece?

The best time to travel naturally depends on your preferences. In spring (April-June), temperatures range from 22-28°C. Nature is in bloom, and the weather is wonderful for visiting all the sights. The summer months of July and August are the hottest (often at least 30°C). If you love sun and beaches, these months are ideal. They are also the busiest. Autumn, September and October, are also wonderful to visit Rhodes, with temperatures between 22-30°C. The sea is still warm because it has warmed up all summer.

Absolutely! There are child-friendly beaches (shallow and sandy), water parks, a zoo where you can pet and feed many animals, an aquarium, and fun boat trips.

In Rhodes, you’ll find the most delicious dishes made with fresh local ingredients.
