Christianna Tsigaloglou has been our lawyer in Crete for over 15 years, helping us with the successful purchase of land, construction and ownership transfer. She is always very clear with respect to what she needs from us in terms of documentation, and anticipates very well the needs of the various official Greek bodies with which have to engage. She is extremely well-connected to local banks, accountants, notaries etc. and makes their processes go a smoothly as possible. We are truly thankful to Christianna for her great work over the years and will certainly be making use of her services in the future. Thanks for your great work Christianna!

Christianna is worth more than 5 starts, she is exceptional. We have been working with her over the last 5 years covering everything from land purchases and rental agreements to setting up a business. Her advice and knowledge is second to none, and her professional approach instills confidence even in the most challenging of circumstances. And on top of all this, she is absolutely lovely - as is her assistant Katerina. She is the only lawyer I have ever actually looked forward to working with.

I was very fortunate to have found Christianna by searching Google from New Zealand once I decided to purchase a property in Crete. She has been invaluable to Mike & I & our girls. Christianna is always incredibly professional & supportive. She knows the ins & outs of the Greek visa system as well as the property laws. We had many discussions weighing up the pros & cons of the visa options. She is also very patient! I highly recommend you engage her office if you are considering a move to Crete she will protect your interests & will not let you down.

We have had a working relationship with Christianne for over 20 years. We have found her extremely professional - she only ever works with our best interests in mind and is extremely efficient. She is also an excellent communicator with perfect English which has been very helpful to us. Unlike lawyers in the UK she is not watching the clock regarding fees but her aim is to do the job proactively and efficiently. She is also extremely pleasant to work with and should the need arise we wouldn’t consider using anyone else.

We strongly recommend Christianna if you are buying a house in Crete. Her process expertise and no-nonsense approach enabled us to close on our house (remotely) in 2 months - which I understand is unheard of in Greece. She also obtained our residence permit and is always available and responsive if we have any questions. An excellent lawyer is critical when buying a house in Greece - and Christianna is the best!

Great experience working with Christianna Tsigalogloy when I bought my flat. She is highly professional, very competent, always on time and made everything feel so much easier — explained things in simple terms, handled all the paperwork, and was always quick to reply to my questions.

If you are looking for a lawyer to handle your affairs when purchasing a property in Crete, Greece I can highly recommend Christianna Tsigaloglou Law Office. She is very knowledgeable and speaks English fluently making the process stress free. She advised us and guided us through the whole purchasing process, from dealing with the Real Estate agent and all the paperwork involved, to opening a bank account and helping with any surprises that came with the purchase. She was extremely helpful with any questions we had, and nothing was too much trouble. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Christianna is very knowledgeable in Greek Real Estate and Estate affairs. She is fluent in English and highly competent in the execution of title work or other real estate matters. I've worked with her for over 15 years and highly recommend her to US Citizens needing an attorney.

We used Hania Law for our house purchase in Kokkino Chorio. Christianna was very knowledgeable and helpful explaining the process and took us through it step by step. Highly recommended.

From our very first contact we were filled with confidence and trust regarding Christanna. Her response times were super efficient, even out of hours. The advice provided in relation to our questions was always detailed and easy to comprehend. Most importantly after engaging Christianna’s services relating to writing a Greek will, arranging Power of Attorney and sale of property alongside notary appointments, all were completed in a timely manner in accordance with the original fees quoted. We would not hesitate to engage Christianna again in the future and would fully recommend her to anyone looking for legal representation.

I can only praise and highly recommend the services of Christianna and her office. The process of purchasing a property was far more complex than I initially imagined, but Christianna made it a smooth and stress-free experience. Anyone seeking a true professional and top-level service will be in the right hands with her. Thank you again Christianna!
