Transparent Pricing, No Surprises

One advantage of being part of a community-led village is that we work together to ensure transparent pricing from our professionals and choose together whom we build with.  We believe in pricing you can trust completely.Most real estate deals start with a headline number and end with a stack of closing costs nobody mentioned upfront. As an individual buyer, you'd have no leverage to change that. As a member of a community-led village, you do.

One real advantage of belonging to GVC is that we choose together whom we build with, and we hold our development partner to a higher standard of transparency than any single buyer could demand alone. You're not just buying a home — you're joining a group of people who've already done the hard work of vetting the deal on your behalf.

One number, fully accounted for. Pricing for Taygete Cohousing Village is set by our development partner, Hillcon Build Group SA. These consolidated prices are meant to bundle all expenses associated with the purchase of the land, Common House, unit, and infrastructure, and thus include not only VAT (where currently required by law) but also all other taxes and fees associated with the sale transaction — including but not limited to property transfer tax, notary fees, land registry fees, and required engineer/surveyor certification. What you see is what you'll owe at closing, not a floor.

What's genuinely separate: ongoing group membership dues. These fund GVC's operations — including our website, site visit costs, and the due diligence work every member and the group need with any property purchase, such as attorney review and accountant support. This is part of the same advantage: your dues buy you professional-grade scrutiny on every purchase, shared across the whole community, rather than a cost you'd otherwise have to shoulder entirely on your own. Ongoing dues are standard practice across cohousing communities worldwide — they're how intentional communities fund themselves without relying on outside investors. Full details live on our Membership page.

If you're pursuing a Golden Visa: this purchase may qualify eligible buyers for Greek residency, subject to current government thresholds and requirements. That pathway runs on a distinct tax track — different VAT treatment, additional program-specific fees — so we'll walk you through figures specific to your citizenship, unit, and tier before you commit to anything.

​

It is our understanding that the consolidated price resulting from our community-led design process and choices is a true consolidation of all costs — not a starting point followed by hidden costs at closing.

​

What's included:
While GVC does not create pricing, we provide this sigificant level of detail above and work with you and our professioansl to ensure your price covers full ownership of your unit, land, and Common House, plus infrastructure — and every tax and fee tied to the sale itself: VAT (where currently required by law), property transfer tax, notary fees, land registry fees, and required engineer/surveyor certification. If you see a number on this page, that's the number, transaction costs and all.

​

Not included: ongoing group membership dues, which fund our website and operations fees- the reason you were able to find us and be a part of this!  We are most frugal when members lean forward to participate to work together on membership recruitment. Dues fund our basic operations.

Golden Visa eligibility:
This purchase may qualify eligible buyers for Greek residency under the Golden Visa program, subject to current government thresholds and requirements. Because Golden Visa purchases follow a distinct tax track — including a different VAT treatment and additional program-specific fees — contact us for figures tailored to your unit, tier, and citizenship.
